soil flushing and ph

[coneman]

Hi, I wish to flush the soil, the soil is about ph6.2 or so, I read that its not good to vary the ph too much, not more than about 0.1 a day. Now, if I flush the soil with tap water about 7.5, is it going to adversely affect the soil ph?
Secondly, can I add rootagen [to help the roots] or h202, hydrogen peroxide int he flush, what about cleanex (waht is it?) any help appreciated

Use clearex in water. PH the water to 6.5. If a final flush use five times the volume of the pot. If your leaching 1 maybe 2 times the volume of the pot. Sorry about the late answer. to your question. Peace

High coneman and to 420Mag!

Definitely adjust your water's pH before use as it will raise the pH of your soil. For a clean flush distilled or reverse osmosis water is best. It's total lack of dissolved minerals pulls all the leftover nutes right out of there a lot quicker than tap water unless your tap water is very low PPM.

I'm not sure about the other two products as I've never used them, but I'm a great proponent of H2O2. I use it regularly in my DWC tubs and just used it today with my two little KaliMist babies in soil-less pro-mix. One with hydro nutes and the other organic. Adding a light dose of peroxide to your flush won't hurt anything and could very well be a great help depending on what you're doing. Say 2 tsps to a tbsp of 3% per gallon.

Good luck and good growing!
