if you're actually that close to harvest the last thing you want to do is flood the media with anything. You'll kill beneficial organisms
and stall at a very important time in development. I'd water when pot is light, 1/4 the pot volume of plain fresh water in your last days and only again when its dry again. If you were using salt ferts in your media and followed directions you've already reduced your nutrients towards the last days hopefully.

what do you wish to accomplish by flooding with anything?

hope your plant rocks!!

S

so what u think I should harvest ? Are those ppms low enough ?
i would harvest if my plant was total amber and my ppm's have been that low for days. I would be bummed for having to extend my stay and harvest so late though, oh well. hopefully you enjoy those flavors and effects.

what is your expected result of using clearex?

it is a flushing solution designed to flush excess salts from your media not your plant, like when you see or experience salt build up/symptoms in hydroton or other hydro media. water always worked well for me, but maybe because it was well water so:P

I told you exactly what I think.

What they are saying;

1. PPM have been low for days- this means that after several waterings everytime (making sure the plant soil dries each time) you check the PPMs they were consistantly low

2. How are you to know when your done flushing? If you read what they are telling you there is no need to flush because it hasnt been proven to anything to flavor. Its a heated debate, some people flush some dont.

3. You wont get much lower than 125ppm, its just really hard if not possible, espically if you adding a flushing agent. They register on the PPM scale as well

and how many fucking times do you have to be told to harvest already ? :wall::wall:
your run off ppms are a stupid way to figure out when to harvest obviously so try a grow bible on the next one
but so there is no misunderstanding;

HARVEST NOW>:(
