Ok i have been thinking after many harvests i do a 2 week flush with 2 nice drains but i can never get a real nice flush? I was thinking i have been using PH down in my flush water is that causing it not to have a complete flush due to the PH down in the water? What do you guys think. My water is well water with a PH of 7.8 with no additive

Growing in sunshine organic soilless mix.

Let me know what you guys think
Thanks

ph'ed. I've never done a flush with non ph'ed...hell I've never watered a plant with non ph'ed for that matter.

I cant speak for not phing, but I doubt your ph up would be locking nutes into your soiless mix. Get a bottle of clearex if you think that will help. It helps to break up bonded salts.

Since pH effects the plants ability to absorb nutes why would you bother to ph a solution that had no nutes?

Not really an issue when your flushing. The right PH level is important for the uptake of nutes, seeing as your not adding nutes for a flush and trying to rid the medium of nutes PH isnt a problem. Plain H20 is what you wanna be using.

I jus use tap to flush seems to work with no signs of stress, really people sometimes get anal over certain procedures which i find kinda funny,research with trial and error is how i learned. It was ruff the first couple of harvests dont get discouraged
