we have 3 plants that are ready for flushing.....in hydro

we also have on same line 9 plants that are far from ready...

if we switch to just plain water for 10 days for flushing will we harm our other plants that depend on nutes for growth .....or do we have to flush manually for 10 days on these 3 plants.

yes you will mess the others up. get some single buckets to move the ready ones into.

setting up the hydro with shutoff valves will help in the future.

when you are done having hydro drive you crazy with all it's interconnectedness give grow bags + coco a spin.

Not being a Hydro grower I can't really answer, other than YES if you flush the 3 that are ready to drop with plain water and ALL your girls are watered from the same res you will be doing more harm than good to the not ready ones.

This is one reason I remain in soil, it's just easier.

no nutes for 10 days will wipe out the plants still in process.

Yeah it sucks but you have to move the 3 off to a flush system or do by hand somehow.
