So, how often do you flush your mother?

I hoped that would get someone's attention...

Anyway, the question is: when you're fertilizing & keeping a plant indefinitely, like a mother plant, how often do you flush her and do you use pure tap, ph adjusted or water + a product like FloraKleen when you do the flush and how long do you flush/leach the medium, say a continuous drip system in hydroton.

Also, say you're growing a plant through it's complete life cycle (from veg to flower to harvest) How often do you flush the system there? Only in the final weeks or every month? And again, if more than just the last week or two, how long does the flushing process last?

Finally, I thought that nutes were used in every watering. Yes? Say, General Hydroponics nutes are the ones in question. Or are you supposed to water at times with only PH adjusted water? How does one do this (if it is needed) when using a reservoir and you've presumably mixed up a batch of nutrients for that stage of the plant's life cycle? Do yo just drain it, add the flushing solution (whatever that may be) and let it run for a day or so?

mothers in hydro ? no fun fella , no fun at all , always better to use soil for moms as you want them to do there thing without being a pain in the ass there there to knock out clones not make the grow harder

however

as your already doing it then a flush ? i never did on a mother plant , on a normal grow then the last week to 10 days of flowering only on a normal grow , if you make a monster then fair enough give it a flush before flowering but generally only in its last days before chopping

final part i havnt a clue what your on about ( sorry ) , im guessing your saying how do i feed , well get a meter , without this your guessing and this normally means burnt plants , dont whatever you do read the side of bottles and follow this , there there to sell yet more ferts so the rates are beyond stupid and fuck up your plants , keep it light and simple

veg ec 0.5
flower ec 0.8

if you grow a monster then increase this a little , the trick in hydro is low nutes but lots of rez changes , as for water get a water butt and fill it , stur the beast and after a day or 2 the water will be perfect as the chlorine will have evaporated off and the p/h will have dropped , simply top it up as you use it and if you can add a bit of rain water the plants will love you for it


think that covered it
