Hydro I swap the res out once, about 5 days before harvest, with pure r/o. No pH. In 5 days it's back up to around 300ppm and the plants are clean. Granted, this is after a couple weeks of gradually lowering nutrient strength before harvest. (fading)

Welcome to ICMag!! :D

I flush with tap water (.1ec) and like for it to be between 6.4-6.8

I always make sure when feeding that my pH is 6.5-6.6 But when flushing at the end of flower, it doesn’t matter as much. Some ppl will say that pH doesn’t matter on the flush at all, since you’re not really feeding the plants. I like for it to be in range so it’s one less thing for the plant to deal with stress wise. :tiphat:

If organic, don’t need to flush. Otherwise it’s a week of neutral or close to watering—regular tap is fine. Some folks advise two weeks. I’ve never found that necessary. Some people add just water and molasses the last week.
