Right, I'm growing in flood and drain system and in 60/40 coco claypebbles mix. When it comes to flushing ill fill the water butt with plain water and begin my flush for 7days, the water has a ec value at 0.3 when going in but gradually gets higher and higher with every flush which I'm assuming it's because its a recirculating system its dragging the nutrients out of the medium. Now when it comes to harvesting and I dry it out correctly, when I try it always seems to have a harsh taste and I'm more than certain it's down to the flush. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Many thanks
When I ran flood tables in geolite, I just used plain water changed daily the last 3 days and it tasted and burned great. Using promix now and start plain water one week before harvest. Most taste great, the ones that don't isn't because of the flush - its genetic. Some plants suck no matter how well its grown and dried.

Are you drying in complete darkness, the dark helps eliminate chlorophyll . The longer you dry they say the more chlorophyll is released and chlorophyll is what makes it harsh.
