Flushing question

[captainkirk]

When i flush should i remove what drains into the pan and clean it ?

Yes, do not leave water sitting in your saucers. It can give you trouble.

This is why I like using white flood trays for multiple plants as opposed to saucers for each plant.

 

[captainkirk]

even during normal watering / feeding don"t let water sit in saucers ? what do the white flood trays look like . and where can you get them? do you have them on ur site ?

 

[JJ Bones]

I actually just made a video about the trays.

If you need further help e-mail me: joey@gjvhydro.com

I can help you with the trays, pricing etc.

Thats stupid, use the saucers, when you water the plants, the water will collect in the saucer, then test its ppms to make sure its completely flushed, then dump the remaining water out of saucers, saucers make it so u can move you plants around, with a drip tray you dont have this option. if you water is testing any higher then 500 ppm and .6 ms then you need to keep flushing, trying using R/O water it makes the process much quicker, and the end product will be much more flavorful.

Are you growing indoors or outdoors? If the latter, ditch the saucers altogether. They're useful for testing runoff, but a PITA otherwise.

if you have good organic soil you wont need run off or to flush at all,or ph....

 

[Osterly771]

thats why i grow organic...its simple....cheaper,better quality,good piece of mind

 

[Osterly771]

why are you guys testing run off in organics anyways?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I was under the impression you only have to flush when not growing organically? That's what my research turned up anyway.

And you're right. If u grow organically flushing is just gonna make your plant weaker!
