you flush it until the soil is dry again.. then flush it again.. don't keep doing it while the soil it wet.

you should PH anything that goes into your soil

and if using tap water you should always leave it out in the open for about 24 hrs to let the chlorine evaporate out of it and always ph test it then bring it to the range you want if too low or high before you flush with it +rep if this helped

as for a big enough container to let it sit overnight fill your bath up and let it sit simple you might smell a bit but it will be worth it lol

damn well i only gotta flush them one more time before harvest and i have not been letting it sit, so would it make a big difference if i use the bathtub water compaired to the water strait from the sink without sitting?

sorry mate i couldnt say but it sure as hell aint going to make it any worse, should in theory help because the water is purer with less chemicals. but im just speculating here dude hope its helped either way +rep

you should let it sit .. you need to let the roots breathe.. so far you've been drowning them by flushing them constantly. during this time.. let some water sit out

Why do people flush soil grows? That's for hydro man.
If I was fighting mildew I wouldnt want to add moisture like that.

i flush to get all the nutes and reminants out of the soil so I can give it straight water for the last 2 weeks.

Always Ph your water no matter what. I would invest in some florakleen to. It breaks the nutrient bond off the roots for a better flush. But yes, flush often. About three times what the growing pot can normally hold every time you flush. I.E. 5 Gallon pot, 15 gallons of water for flush.
