Description
Eventually, every growing system will develop fertilizer residue as a part of the "Salt-based/synthetic" growing process. This accumulation results in the salt build-up that can block drippers, cause unsightly accumulations on the top of soil or substrate, and will eventually cause your plants' undue stress and even root damage.
With the highly concentrated nutrients available today, and high EC levels running in many systems, the nutrient lockout can also be an invisible limit on your grow; T.A. Flash Clean (Flora Kleen) solves all these problems and more.
How it works
Specifically developed to dissolve mineral salts, Flash Clean (Flora Kleen) releases nutrient bonds between minerals and substrate and allows you to rinse excess residue. This release also helps plants make the most of the remaining fertilizers, especially in the crucial week just before harvest.
- Dissolves accumulated fertiliser salts
- Corrects nutrient balance
- Treats nutrient lockout
- Nourishes microbial life and refreshes soil and coco coir
- Maximises final stage growth (especially with Ripen)
Unlike other “flushes” and finishing products on the market, FlashClean is not an acid, isn’t enzyme based, and does not dump magnesium or other mineral additives into your system - this makes it uniquely flexible: with FlashClean you can give your system, and your plants, a clean slate at any time and at any stage of the growth process.
How to use
In recirculating hydroponic systems:
To reset and refresh before changing nutrients:
- Add 1.5 to 3 ml / L of Flash Kleen to your existing nutrient solution and circulate for 24 hours before draining and replacing with fresh nutrient solution. Use the lower dosage for young or fragile plants, and the higher dosage for established plants/close to harvest.
After nutrient burn or lock-out:
- Drain old nutrient solution, add 1.5 to 3 ml / L of Flash Kleen to pH adjusted water (you don’t need to use a full tank, just enough to circulate freely and run the system). Circulate for 24 hours before draining and adding new, fresh nutrient solution. Use the lower dosage for young or fragile plants, and the higher dosage for established plants.
As a final rinse (after Ripen):
- Drain old nutrient solution, add 1.5 to 3 ml / L of Flash Kleen to pH adjusted water (you don’t need to use a full tank, just enough to circulate freely and run the system). Circulate for the last two days before harvest to increase sugar levels in your crop instead of losing aroma and medicinal content with a long water flush.
In potting soil & soilless mixes incl. Coco Coir:
To reset and refresh before changing nutrients (inc. before Ripen), and after a nutrient burn or lock-out:
- Every fifteen days (or when needed after lockout etc): fill a watering can with fresh pH adjusted water and add 1.5 to 3 ml / L of Flash Kleen. Drench until there is runoff from the bottom of the pot. Resume your regular fertiliser schedule with the next watering. Use the lower dosage for young or fragile plants, and the higher dosage for established plants.
As a final rinse / after Ripen:
- Use 3 ml / L of Flash Kleen instead of nutrients during the last two days before harvest to increase the sugars level in your crop instead of losing aroma and medicinal content with a long water flush.
Tips: FlashClean can be used at any stage of growth or flowering but do not use FlashClean more than once every two weeks.
