Dealing with Salt build up

[igethigh429]

My plants just reached veg state and they have a salt build up does anyone know how to treat that? Will Just flushing it work?

p.s. using tap water. could that be a cause?

Flushing will get rid of most of the salt build, salt build up is from all your nutes your adding. Depends on your area for tap water, but there shouldn't be hardly any salt in tap.

there are flushing solutions for salt build ups you can get online or in hydroshops. and for future- use less nutes. 1/4 - 1/2 of recommended dosage.

Depends on your tap water. There is some stuff from general hydroponic the band that has flushing solution... but ive never used it.
I use tap for everything.

holy shit. im not gonna be a dick..


nutes = nutrients. what do you mean your plant just reached veg state? its basicially in a vegetative state once it breaks the soil.. just in different maturity levels. how do you know you have salt build up?
