i concur with others. I am doing 5gal smartpots/hempy style and rely on DC throughout the grow. I am down to very few supplements, a bit of calmag, hygrozyme, some b12 for transplanting, and of course DC. I reuse my coir for every grow, separating the coir from the roots. After 7 crops no problems yet (except when i accidentally forget to water...!).

someone else said this before and i directly went agiast his advice and used it mid run because i had just purchased it for the 1st time and wanted 2 use it right away. NOTHING happened...no burns...complete bullshit. stop scaring people. this stuff is great. it prevents precipatates from forming. after it dries out after not rinsing it off,the teaspoon developes amost a sheen to it with the risidual "salts" except its not really in salt form, more like a filmed coating. so if u think about your pots the same thing happens. you shouldnt have any crystals in your pots. it protects my leaves grealty, with practically no salt burns what so ever throughout all of flower.
so yea u dont have 2 have a drip system to utilize it, infact i do have one and actually my shit started clogging recently...so yea fuckin great the shit doesnt stop my lines from clogging, but it does still have a good benefit for the pots....

Do those of you using Drip Clean keep applying this stuff during the flush period, or do you stop using it along with the other nutes, a week before harvest?

during flush, i use just water.no need for DC.

Honestly, since I started using it over a year ago with the complete line I just water as if, it were soil. Very little runoff, I just dump the excess and keep it moving. I make sure I flush my coco before it's used, light feed all they way through with zero problems with the whole line no matter the strain. Only time I need to flush is the last 2 1/2. Just follow the directions and I always cut my mix with an extra 8oz of distilled. Too easy!

i just used this for the first time in an ebb n flow system with rockwool cubes and it cured my run off problem in one watering. i love this stuff! im curious to know though does drip clean have any use in aeroponics with no medium? the woman at the grow store said i should also use it in aero to stop the salt build up but i dont know if she knew what she was talkin about
my bad i didnt know this thread was in the coco section

I also started it mid run with no adverse affects on my plants.
I don't use Drip Clean during flush. I use just RO water for the last 8 days. I have had people smoke my stuff 3 days after chop and say that it was a smooth smoke and tasted great. When I told them that I had chopped on Friday night and they smoked it Monday they thought I was a expert grower. Man they must have been high.

from what i understand, drip clean IS NOT a flushing agent, what it does is lower the ph of the molecule(nutes/salts) itself, there fore at a lower acidity the salt is dissolvedand the plant can now absorb the nute or if you continue to water it will eventually flush the salt/nute molecule out, same as a regular flush.
basicly nutes in general are better absorbed at a lower ph, between 5-6.5, this is the salt molecules them self, not the medium, and not the water. when you water the medium(soil fo rexample) the nutes sit in the medium, as the plant eats what it needsthe rest is left behind...what gets left behind will raise the ph of the salts (while lowering the ph of the medium with too much accumulation of salts), thus the plants can no longer absorb those nutes left over, so what dripclean does is lower the ph of the salt molecule so it can be absorbed by the plant.
so in short, drip clean doesnt flush your plants/medium, but rather lets your plants absorb the nutesthat wouldotherwise be left behind in the medium...
so...drip clean is a completely different product than - clearex, florakleen, final phase...ect
sorry if this doesnt make sense so some, or even anyone for that fact, lol, ive been doing alot of research the last few weeks into the whole H&G line up asi am using it and having a few probs with salt build up, so i thought i would investigate a bit more...
theres a member on here name is "avenger" and he seems to be on top of his shit....its one thing to say "ya it works look", but its another to say "ya look it works, ill show you why and how it works"...
