Final Flush DWC: Purchased GH Florakleen clearing solution

Label is conflicting and I run DWC. How long do I flush for ???? Left side of label says flush for a week and right side of label says runs in you're system for 1 or 2 days... So which is it ????

Do both... run it in your system then after 2 days switch to straight water.

or you dont have to flush at all... in that case, make sure you dry the plant as whole after harvest. then pick off the fan leaves after 1-2 days. and wait until the plant is entirely dried before trimming the bud leafs otherwise you will have some harsh smoke due to the wet chlorophyll seeping on your buds.

Yeah do what this guy says so you can smoke the left over nutrients the plant has. Another noob that says flushing isn't worth it, smoking weed with black ash coughing his lungs out and thinks its because his weed is so good LAWL! Use that clearing solution for a week in your res for the final flush.

Ok will use for a week in my system. Don't have to ph the water right ??

Always PH the water, common hydroponics and soil growing techniques always PH always.

Why flush? Honestly never had any difference between the stuff I flushed and the stuff I didn't. Just don't trim the leaves when wet so chlorophyll don't seep on the bud and cause the harsh smoke. Pretty sure weed doesn't store chemicals and fertilizers. It only takes what it needs and leaves the rest behind. It metabolizes the nutrients into organic compounds and complexed sugars. And yodaweed I can assure you have never tried my method so why don't you give it a shot first before trolling next time?

It is advised that you stop using your cannabis flowering fertilizer 2 weeks before harvest time to ensure that all chemicals are out of the plant. If chemicals are in the plant when you harvest, the smoke will be very harsh. To prevent harshness, flush the plants heavily with fresh water 2 weeks prior to harvesting them. Ensure you flush at least 3 times the capacity of your pot. So a 4 gallon pot would be flushed with 16 gallons of fresh water. From that point water your plants with pure water, absolutely NO additives should be given to the plant. This is especially important if you have been using chemical fertilizers.

This is the time when the bulk of the final, "usable" part of the plant is produced. As you may well already know, there are over four hundred separate chemicals associated with cannabis and her effects. It is during the final bud-building stage that most of these chemicals are produced. Thus, it is very important to give the plant as much pure water as possible during this crucial period. I like to remember it as the "rinse" and "flush" cycle. Simply remember to give the plants only water for the last two to three weeks in order to rinse and flush them clean. This is to purge unwanted impurities from the plant.

Pot that has been fertilized right up to harvest is harsh to smoke, sometimes the joint will even sizzle and pop as unmetabolized fertilizer salts combust. Unflushed pot leaves black ash, is hard to keep lit and burns your throat. Pot which has been organically grown and properly flushed is more flavorful and fragrant, burns easily, leaves grey ash, is easier on the throat and is much more pleasurable to smoke.

Even the fertilizer companies tell you to flush and even provide a flushing agent...still think its hocus pocus?

Oh btw I started growing with your method of no flush and my buds were harsh my ash black, now that I flush I get really smooth buds that taste great! And nobody was trolling besides your uneducated ass.
