Lotus Carboflush: The Finishing Powder in the Pro Series Schedule
Lotus Carboflush is the last powder in the Pro Series schedule. It replaces the base feed in the final two weeks rather than sitting on top of it. The analysis is 0-0-12, from potassium sulfate. Around that potassium sits maltodextrin, with 50% glucose derived from it as ready food for root-zone microbes, plus 7% humic acids derived from humalite. The idea is to keep biology fed while the plant draws down what it stored during bloom. Lotus runs it at 0.75 teaspoon, about 2.3 grams, per gallon in weeks seven and eight of flower. That rate stays the same for soil, coco and hydro. At that dose the 9 oz bag makes about 110 gallons, the 18 oz about 221, and the 36 oz about 443. The powder can look damp, with a texture Lotus compares to kinetic sand. That is normal, and it still dissolves fully. It works in any medium the rest of the line covers.
What a Flushing Agent Does During the Final Weeks
A flushing agent earns its keep in media that hold on to salts. Coco and heavily fed soil store more than most growers expect, and plain water alone can take a long time to clear them. Mixing this in keeps a little potassium moving while the carbohydrates keep microbes busy during the drawdown. Watch runoff EC as the days go by. A steady fall tells you the medium is clearing, while a flat reading means you need more volume per irrigation rather than a stronger mix. Keep pH in your normal range through the flush, since roots still depend on it. It is not a rescue product for a mid-bloom lockout, so use it at the finish where it was built to sit. Growers who never feed heavily may see little difference, and that is an honest result rather than a failure. The small bag suits a tent, the middle size a room, and the largest a multi-room cycle.
Key Features
- 0-0-12 Potassium Base: Potassium sulfate keeps a light potassium supply moving during the finish.
- Glucose for Microbes: Maltodextrin-derived glucose feeds root-zone biology while the base feed is pulled back.
- 7% Humic Acids: Humic acids derived from humalite round out the blend.
- One Rate for Every Medium: A single 0.75 teaspoon per gallon rate across soil, coco and hydro.
- Three Bag Sizes: Nine, eighteen and thirty-six ounce bags scale from a tent to a full room.
