Flushing vs. Flushing

I get about 525 ppm in RO using 1 level Tbsp

Maybe ive lost my mind but i have the new formula. Ima take some pics.
But you tried the feed calculator? Just switch to g and ppm you'll see their measurements

1tsp
RO+ mine has mineral filter so low 30s ppm.
1.7ec
~800ppm
6.4g
Off by 0.05g
So who is closer to their feeding calculator?

Bag says 6.4g 1.7ec so my meter should be ok.
Fyi i had a fresh bag and i shook it well.
You may have the old formula but still way off to me.

Oh crap are you doing it per 5/gallon? My bad

I'm using the 2.0 megacrop. also there are (3?) ppm scales I believe my HM TDS-3 uses the 700 scales s0 it will depend which scale you're comparing to. When I make a batch again I'll take pics also

Food for thought on flushing commercially; we've had talks at our grow speculating about what it does and doesn't do, but the fact of the matter (that we all agreed on unanimously) is that it does save you around a week (or two) of feeding, which in our case of spending about $1,000 a week on nutrients, is a pretty big deal lol. Plants aren't getting any healthier or robust from feeding up to chop IMO.

I dont flush however I stop using MC and use Sweet Candy only for last 5 days

You must have millions in rev. 1k aint much if it gives you results.
40k gallons at 6g/gal 2400lb mc at $4500

Commercial growers from my understanding grow on a schedule, plants are harvest at a set number of days. Home growers and small op growers tend to let their plants run longer. As far as the money saving aspect, I'll say it again, most growers, commercial included overfeed their plants under the misguided idea that plants can be force fed. You'd save more by cutting back the EC/PPM level by 10% across the board. And unless you've actually tested your theory, it remains that, a theory. If you have tested, I'd like to see the data.
Although I'll agree, if you only flush for a week or less, the plants is just beginning to go into starvation. Funny though, no other agricultural operations "flush" there crops.......

That's a bit of a myth (on schedule,) it depends on when the plants are done. If we're in a crunch or need product, we'll harvest early, otherwise we're scoping trichs at this facility As far as the feeds go, where is the data that cutting back 10% does anything like you suggested? I'm all about testing things out We're pushing upwards of 1700 ppm on our flowering feeds with not even the slightest burning in tips, we're actually thinking of trying to push them even more. We do follow a schedule for nutrients, but we also give the plants what they are asking for. Shrug. It's just scaled up.

Most ag operations aren't smoking their product either.
