have done the molasses route and not used clearex and done fine. I think that was the tastiest run as well.
Reduce ppm's in the two weeks prior to flush such that by then, the plants are already fading nicely. Always using molasses/malted barley extract, so that always stays in the mix except for those last flushing days, which can last anywhere from 10-7 days. First day of flush I give Florakleen (or something like that, can't remember the name of it), then just water, four days later another shot of Florakleen, one or two more days of plain water, then choppy-chop.
What do you mean by this? I only ask because you said that you believed it was your tastiest run. I really want my buds to taste nice and would love to know more about that. Thanks!
Peace and love,
OK
I do not like what sweet leaf or bud candy does to the taste. My personal preference.
I think you will be good using boost. Smells like there is molasses in it. friend's than run boost have excellent tasting meds.
seamaiden and venom nailed it as well.
Some type of sugar (carbo load boost bud candy heavy weight organic sweet, sweet, molasses)
Then go to ph'd water.
Supposed to take at least 7-10 days for the plant to uptake what is left in the cells. (if you overfed may not matter)

I have heard too many damn different things with flushing coco.. How do you guys do it? This is my first run with coco and I was just going to flush like I do soil, molasses first week then straight water the next.. Do you suggest using a flushing agent? only give a week flush? Any and all help is much appreciated!
If I'm feeding them regularly at, say, 1200ppm (@ .5 conversion) then over the two weeks prior to flushing I'm going to gradually reduce that to somewhere around <300ppm. Ca/Mg has been dropped a week or three before this time as well. Nitrogen is all but completely cut out at this time as well, it's practically nothing but phosphorous, mainly because coco already has so much potassium in it I like to keep those numbers lower unless I see a problem.what do you mean to reduce them 4 weeks prior to flush you better have a good amount of nutes in there
I am down to a one week flush and get very white ash. One thing that has helped is that during that week I drop my pH to 5-5.2 for a couple of days with sufuric acid (make sure you don't use phosphoric or nitric). That helps to get any excess P out as it really isn't all that soluble in higher pH water.
I find no need to feed my coco plants at above an EC of 1.5 the entire grow. More frequent waterings with lower EC has made flushing more than a week harmful to the plant...you want them to yellow, not get crunchy on the edges.
Where do you find the acid?
Bud candy does not change the taste in buds- maybe if you use too much it could but ive been using it for many turns now- along with final phase and have nothing less than stellar final results even when i fuck up something else in the regimen.
I know I kinda regret getting the bud candy honestly after I read how people said it completely altered the taste of their herb. I doubt I'll even use it.
You may think so, but how much smoke have you had from a girl who either hasn't been properly flushed, or who's had a late flower push of nutes? I've made both those mistakes and lemme tell ya, the smoke is AWFUL.Hate to say but some folks are overkilling/overthinking it a bit IMO. At most in coco for me- 2wks. The fade usually isn't nutrient uptake/n fade- its a lockout. Colors can be good but dead leaves and yellowing is lockout and lack of nutes if you flush too long.
Curious, but what's the point of pHing the RO water for that final flush?I use drip clean and never flush until the last week, last week i use Final phase for 2-4 days with a bit of cal, then RO w/a bit of cal for a couple days, then ph'd ro til i feel like chopping (usually 10-12 days).
