My first time growing. What’s the best way to handle this?
crazyphantomstarted grow question 1d ago
2 plants in total. The one on the left (Critical auto) is fully ready for flushing and harvest. However, the one on the right (Plushberry auto) is still flowering.I am running a recirculating drip system, so both plants drink from the same reservoir.

If your system has individual shut-off valves, I’d disconnect the Critical and water her manually until harvest. 👍 That way you can keep feeding the Plushberry normally. If you can’t isolate one pot from the circulating system, though, it’s not that simple. Personally I wouldn’t stress too much about flushing anyway.

as long as nothing is overfed, you are fine. Flushing is not a required step and doesn't have a measurable effect anyone can prove, so far. If your heat is set on it, you can still do it and it also won't cause any problems. It's in the same boat as mass defoliation just for the sake of defoliation.
Looks like hobbit has the best idea, but if no shutoff available, go ahead and top off with some plain water for the plant that is ahead of schedule. The extra runoff will dilute the rootzone and accomplish the same thing.

Hi @crazyphantom , I would not flush in this case. What are your nutrients?
If you really want to flush, you could do it by hand, but if you cannot disconnect it from the reservoir, it gets difficult.
I heard flushing is not needed for a week, but people discuss a lot about what the right way is.
