any flushing or plant rinsing ideas?

i'm pretty much to the end of flowering and am flushing now. Just using the enzyme in order to help flush it out now and naturally break up any excess ferts that may be in the soil. I plan on using it through out my next grow though. pretty much the leafs have all yellowed, dried up and fallen off the plant with the exception for a few leafs that are holding on. The buds have went back to regular green that they were. thinking i have a week and a half left till clipping. starting to see spots of amber trichs now. thanks to everyone for their help. try and get another pic update soon.

Good trick is put it In the toilet then flush. Keep flushing until you think all excess poop is out then flush one more time.

In my continuing quest to suss out facts, I thought I'd check out the MSDS on Flora Kleen. Not to call it out or anything, just to find some info. I'm confused why they'd be marketing this for all types of medium to be honest. Especially soil.

I mainly wanted to know what was in the solution itself.

SECTION 2. INGREDIENTS AND OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS Ingredients: Flora Kleen® Cleaning Flush Solution is a specially formulated mixture of chemicals that are mixed in proportions to assure adequate removal of nutrient residues. The chemical identity of the compounds and exact proportions used in the mixture are a trade secret.

Everyone can make their own conclusions. I've made mine.

You should focus on why you got nutrient lockout to begin with rather than needing some bottle of sugar water or weak acid to correct your mistakes.

Plain water would have had the same effect.

Hi D, just happened to be as inquisitive as you and went searching.check it out someone answered a question on Amazon about it. Not sure of accuracy but seems like what should be used.
The solution contain high water potential, solutes to increase the osmotic pressure. Flushing solutions in general consist of ingredients such as glycine betaine, proline, sorbitol, mannitol, pinitol and sucrose.
 
Some of you guys are ridiculous. Y’all have one bad result from a product and never question if the method or user was wrong. I’ve used floraclean to flush, make corrections to my coco if nutes are out of whack and I’ve used it to flush coco after grows to reuse. There is definitely a reduction in the amount of water needed for flush. I’ve gone from 5gal of water for a flush in a 3 gal pot to having to use 3 gals to get lower ppm with the first gallon being 2ml florakleen and the other two galIlons straight water… definitely not sugar water, it contains absolutely no sugar or basic carbs. I’d say it’s more like hydrogen peroxide, when mixed at 2ml/gal I’ll usually see tiny bubbles form on my perlite. It’s worth a try if you’ve trying to save time and water, but water will get the job done.
