Hey everyone,I was wondering if I could rinse my medium with tapwater and then follow up with RO/bottle water

Is this a final flush?

I’m in the Harvest window I started flushing last week around Tuesday maybe. The runoff PPM is at about 1600
You’re fine with tap then. It’s no harm if the plant can’t uptake nutrients. Since that’s the goal anyway.

Ok awesome! It’s taking longer than expected to flush it by regular watering I didn’t know if I could rinse the medium that way and then flush it with RO water, I should have started the flash earlier that’s my bad. I appreciate it!
Flushing is highly debatable. Myself, I don’t ever flush a plant, but switch to plain water a few days before harvest. Some feed right up to harvest. If you want to flush all the nutrients out that’s your choice, but I don’t really think it’s necessary. Guess I’m just giving you my opinion.

I appreciate your response!Yeah, I’ve been reading and doing some research and it’s like 50-50, some saying if you don’t flush it’s harsh bitter smoke some saying there’s no difference after a test run of flushing and not flushing. I’ve been using the ILGM fertilizer pack So I think I’m good. I have flushed though Ive got the ppm down to the mid to upper 200s I believe
