    I used to flush for 3 days in coco,but I read a study recently which claims as the nutrients are already in the plant flushing is pointless as it only removes nutrients from the medium.

    Ok man thanks for your reply. Cause I see people saying flush it for 7 days to 14. Then others saying just a couple days upto a week. That's great man thanks very much for that

    Chemicals?
    No dude its all just water soluble elements you have the same goes in your bottled drinking water and you dont flush yourself by EOD right? Lol... If you feed your plant too much N in flower it will taste weird. A flusg will not change that, maybe just a good dry n cure..

    I drop ec to 0.8 in the last week, instead of flushing. Id recommend to drop temps as well, if possible

    I used to flush for 3 days in Coco and I could tell a difference back then, But I was using SM90 in my rez which is coriander oil and for some reason that would impart a flavor without a flush. I don't use it anymore so no more flushing.
