need an explanation on how to flush after I nute burned my plants in hydro. I am a beginner, only experience, grew 2x 1-2ft tall plants in soil as experiments in past before I threw them out.
I have been flushing with RO water for about a week+ after burning both plants in waterfarms. In the first few days I would empty bucket, wipe residue off sides of bucket and rinse. Fill with ONLY RO water. After maybe 12 hours the ppm would rise 50 points. I would let it rise to around 100ppm. And repeat the process of flushing again. Now its been about 10 days. Now when I refill with RO the parts per million only raise maybe 10 points every 12 hours. Based on what the trend has been I expect to see 0ppm - 10ppm rise when I check it at midnight tonight.
How do I know when its time to start trying nutes again? should I wait for no ppm rise for couple days? week?
they are only 4" tall and I nuked them so bad I am thinking of naming my 2 waterfarms. Fatman and Littleboy.
I fear they cannot take another shock again.
