    Default Flushing in soil

    Alright chaps. Having a bit of a mare with my autos. How do I go about flushing the soil to Start from fresh. I gave them a double feed of grow a few days back when I was hungover and since they have been crap. dark waxy leaves and now they are starting to claw
    I’m in 15ltr pots, am I right in saying flush 3 times the pot size with tap water?

    I'd be inclined to just chuck 1x through & then feed plain water until things improve... which shouldn't be long - but I tend to live dangerously sometimes

    Living life on the edge mate haha! Should I flood it through or just water as I normally would?

    Flood it through mate, the idea is for it to wash out the extra nutes... that said, a lot will probably already be absorbed by the plant - see your description of her... so don't expect to see immediate results as you have to use up the preloading before anything really happens...

    ... of course, in coco, I'd give you totally different instructions

    You'll enjoy coco... takes a little to get into the swing of it but it's so much easier... top tip... get a decent EC & PH meter!

    Well it’s been 2 days since I flushed 1X pot size through. 3 seemed to have perked up quite a bit, with new growth looking decent, but Cindy (the biggest girl) still looks a tad rough. Probably got more to flush out as she’s bigger

    These are quite small for their age so I’m hoping this flush has sorted them, and expect to see some explosive growth over the next week or so
