Flushing with distilled water and citric acid

Jakedstarted grow question 1y ago

Hi guys! Decided to finish my diary (Pineapple Express), which I should have finished a little earlier. The question is as follows. I decided to flush with distilled water and citric acid. Is this ok or not a very good idea? Thanks!

Hey mate, I would simply use tapwater and add more citric. Its a moneywaste, if you have to buy that distilled water. There wont be a noticable change, when your human tastebuds cant taste something odd in your tapwater, your plants wont notice something either. Compared to nutrients we feed our plants its really nothing. Happy Growing!

No point, it won't do anything special. Just use tap water and save your money. Citric acid........why?...........it will most likely harm your plant, not help it in any way.

Hello Jaked, You can do this but it doesn't really matter. Tap water will be fine. Happy Harvest Buddy! 💚

Light power Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?
