Different strains same DWC, when to flush?
Well because of a recent move and a baby and many many other distractions, my latest grow had been thrown together a little sloppy. I had to start from seed and and ended up with only 2 females out of 10 seeds
.
Anyways, the females that I ended up with were one white widow and one blueberry. It appears as if the blueberry will finish about 5-10 days earlier than the white widow. The problem is that I started these two plants in the same 13 gallon rubbermaid dwc, and didnt even think about separating them until they were already too entangled to do anything about it. Now im on day 50ish of 12/12 and its looking like the blueberry will be ready to flush in a week at most, but I would like to let the w w go for two before its gonna be ready. The other thing is that the ww is gonna produce a lot more bud than the blueberry so if anything the ww is the higher priority.
So, what should i do? Will it hurt the quality of the blueberry that much if I dont flush it? I have always done a flush before, so i have no experience to compare it too. I have heard that a water cure can almost eliminate the need for a flush, but I dont know how true that is. And im not all that comfortable with the idea of water curing, i havent done it before and dont really want too unless necessary.
Any advice would be appreciated.flow Reviewed by flow on . Different strains same DWC, when to flush?

You can run plain ph'd water up to two weeks at the end of your grow.....I would start flushing the BB at the normal time (perhaps with plain water and no flushing solution) and just continue to run them both with ph correct water until they finish......again......you can keep the WW on plain water for up to two weeks before harvest so hopefully that will be enough finish time for the WW. I personally dislike the taste AND the way the weed burns when I don't flush it......tastes metallic and very "crispy" and "overdry" (too many salts? )

Weedhounds right. It would have been preferable if you had separated the strains, but you can just start the flush for the blueberry and continue pHd water for the WW until its ready. It'll be fine.
