On my flood table.
I like to leave the res about 10 litres shy of water. The I add the Ph Balanced 10 liters of H2O over the rockwool wool using a watering can (do it gentle as to not hurt the roots). A reverse flush, if you will.
Then a couple of days of regular timed floods with Ph'd water.

EXACTLY!! Final rinse from the top....A LOT (final phase nutes?). drain tubs, add fresh and flush till the end my friend.
ok cheers for the replys, i flushed and they are still showing signs of nute burn? i flushed the watered with ph'd water and no nutes for 3 days then i added 4ml of nutes to 24 litres of water so about 1/8 mix very weak, should i flush again and just use fresh ph'd water till nice and green again?

The leaves that are burned will keep showing the effects, as they are burned. Check the new growth to see if it is growing healthy. Once you have flushed the neuts and given the plants time to use the stored neuts, you should be fine going back to a normal feeding schedule - different from the schedule that caused the burn.

Genisis right. Once tips burn, those tips stay burned. Even after you remedy the issue, the burn may creep inwards as tips dry out. Anyhow, sounds like you've flushed enough, go back to a nutrient schedule, and watch the new leaves. In hydro, flushing is way simple and fast. Of course, results may take a week or so. Happy growing!
