What water to flush with

DougJitsustarted grow question 5y ago

I'm trying to decide what water to flush with. I have a wellpoint which I use water from. It has a ph of between 6.5 and 6.7 bit I've heard the ppm of that is too high. Should I use bottled water or tap water rather??

Hi friend,Use water with the lowest ppm when you flush.For me I use RO water of 10~15ppm and adjust my pH to 6.0~6.5.Happy growing... ✌️

I look at these answers and just wonder why all the worry of such a minor thing? Any normal range clean water will do for a flush Tap water well water doubt the plant cares about it at this point in its life.

What to do? Where am I at now actually? I’m lost and slightly discouraged When should I add happy frog fruit and bloom? This is my 3rd grow and im 0-2! I have a overfeeding problem but I’ve learned to be corrective and precise with ph and ppm and be pest preventative as well (heavy handed waterer as well..im trying). It’s day 5 of flower and I’m lost

High ppm in drainage I flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?
