I have read a lot of different things some you do flush some say you don't please someone who have did dwc let me know how you do it

What water are you using?For how long to flush (better say cleanse) is up to you. With RO water 1 week is more than enough. With tap water can be done more (not sure if needed). However what I do is something different. Every day I empty 1 leter of nutrients from the bucket and add 1l Ro back (this way I lowering EC/ppm gradually) till I get EC ~0 / ppm 50.

You could even do without cleanse if you would like to, but you can get harsh taste and so on. Whatever you will chose is up to you... "My 2 cents"

P.S. when : 1/2 weeks before harvest

Thanks bro this is my first hydro / dwc grow and I love it nugs are so frosty and smell so sweet let me ask you Komach how do u dry and cure your flowers? Do you use the brown bag method?

Hey man, as Komach said there are varied views on when is the "best" time to cleanse. I think 10 days would sit as the average, I aim for 7-10 days for DWC plants (only on my second attempt). Brown bag drying method works nicely however the yield can be quite large in hydro so get plenty of bags! I found it easier to place the small nuggets into a chest of drawers (filled three draws) then hang the big colas in the grow tent, this way you can control temps and humidity which is essential for a proper dry and cure, there's a thread called "achieving the perfect cure", give it a little search in the box and it will tell you everything you need to know, with specifics about the correct humidity. :Sharing One:
