I'm growing in a aero / Nft and 7-10 Days have always worked fine for me.
Have heard that 2-3 days flushing in hydro should be okay but I've never tried that.

The leaves should get yellow and you should remove them as they do. You are allowing the plant to absorb stored up nutrients out of the leaves.

...how did the flush work out? I personally flush for 2 weeks. I first flood my beds with clearex for 1 hour using tap water....I then drain my res, refill with RO and Sweet....2 weeks later....O'yeah, DANK.

I personally do NOT flush at all - zilch - tried it once, found it made NO DIFFERENCE whatever to the taste of my bud.
I invite ANYONE to come here and tell me what bud has been ´flushed´ and what hasn´t.
Get it right 20 times out of 20 and I will refund your transatlantic plane fare. Funny nobody has ever taken me up on it yet.

I bet a cronic smoker would be able to tell ya. I know I can taste the difference right away.

...if it makes no difference to YOU, goodtimes, whatever floats your boat...this maybe dependant on your growing technique, and the fertilizers used....MINE taste better when I flush.
