hey guys, well it's been 7 days of flushing and i think that they ready to be cut. Do i need to run pure water through it after the clear? i am using DNF Clear can i just harvest right after using the clearing or should i run some pure RO through them first to clear the clearing agent, then harvest? the ppm was 200 when i changed my res, i think i added 125ml to 55 litres of RO and the ppm is 250 so it flushed out 50 ppm.

The guy told me it is a catalyst that i guess causes the plants to use all of its stored food before harvest, also it does'nt raise the ppm of your res cause the plants just use up all the nutes it instead of draining it into the res. On the bottle it said that it contains chelates and what not. but what i don't know is if i have to run just pure water through the plants for like a week.

If it is anything like clearex or final phase you should be fine, once the salt is gone your good to harvest. Glad to see your flushing properly, that's my pet peeve about people...do things properly the whoooole way through and then half ass it because they're ansy and end up with something that burns your throat. A helpful hint, the last week I keep my reservoir empty and just use it as a drain, and top flush with a hose and pump

ya thats a good idea. I pay pretty close attention to how i raise my plants spend so much time and money and stress that its not worth it to skip flushing it tastes like pepper if you do skip it. Plus how it kinda induces that last growth spurt! im cutting my down this weekend.
