FloraKleen Can I add this to my nutrient solution to also clean residual salts? Or will this destroy the fresh nutrients in the water for my girls? Not much info on the web about this.

In RDWC, just monitor your reservoir to know what is really going on with the roots. Results are pretty instant and this will correct a deficiency or an overfeed. If the ppm increase: your plants drink more water and don't use as much nutrients. This cause the pH to lower as the concentration of salts raises. In this case top filled your reservoir with water and adjust pH. In the scenario of decreasing ppm: your plants needs more nutrients. They uptake more then you provide and this cause the concentration to lower and your pH to raise. In this case up your feeding and adjust pH. Growing in soil with bottle nutrients, it would be a different game as soil retains the nutrients.

Flushing agents are the biggest ripoff ever. Took a look at your diaries: your plants are perfect and don't show any signs of salts build ups aka nute burns. So why flushing? Most nutrients company just want you to spend more and have you buy useless supplement and expensive bottles.. That remind me about Foxfarm feeding chart having you over feeding your plants and making you flush 3-4 times in the cycle!!! Completely useless!! Nutrient's role is to support the growth. Best advice is to start at about half strength of their recommended feeding chart and see if your plants needs more. Most strains will have plenty at this strength so you will never get salts build up. Salts will accumulate if you over feed and the minerals stays in your medium. But in a RDWC system it would be pretty hard to get actual *salts build ups*.... If you ever see nutrient burn it is not a catastrophe and plain water is what would be the best for your plants.

Every flush treatment (at least the majority of them) have 2 aims: 1) Don't kill any microbe & myco 2) Disolve retained salts in the soil and make them free for be drained or used by the plant in the latest stages of their life. So, they don't destroy anything, only make the salts soluble again to get the clean you want or to help if you've a high salt toxicity in your medium at any point. But you should'nt add it with nutes, if you want to improve the uptake and avoid a lockout of nutrients to your plant you should get enzymes, you've many products here and there, it depends of the quantity and quality of those enzymes to get the best out of them, so imo sensizym is one of the best products in the market for that purpose

Hi I add this usually every 2 weeks to my nutrient reservoir 24hrs before I change onto a fresh batch of nutrient. Also I run it on its own for 24 usually before changing to bloom nutes.
