    Question Help needed, autoflowers + regular plants in a single hydro system

    Hi guys,

    I have a hydroponic (dripping system) with two autoflowers and two regulars one.
    2X feminized White Widow and 2 X Taison auto.
    I'm trimming the regular one to keep them low and so giving a lot of space to the autoflowers.

    Because autoflowers don't rely on a photocycle, i'll keep a 18/6 light shedule when auto's will start their flowering stage while keeping my regulars one in a vegetative state.
    My concern is for the two last weeks of flowering stage when we are not supposed to give any nutriment.
    Will my regular plants recover if they only receive water for 2 weeks??

    Any advice will be welcome,
    If they can't survive it, i was thinking giving them nutriment directly throug their leaves, but i would like to avoid it if possible.

    (Sorry if my english is not really good, it's not my native language)

    Many people don't flush they're plants at the end. Some swear it's just bro science, so you can do what you want.

    Thanks for the answer,
    I thought no flushing would give a chemical smell when smoking the flowers.
    Their are many post on the net speaking about this??

    Yeah there is quite a debate across the forums about whether flushing is required at all, latest science seems to indicate that it is not. I personally don't flush more than 3 days when I'm doing coco and I don't flush at all in soil.

    Well, that was usefull!
    I'll try with a three day flush, my other plants will not suffer too much doing so!

    A last question, in your opinion, neither organic or mineral fertilizer would affect the final taste with a three day flushing?

    The only reason I flush in Coco is I use a product called SM90 which is an oil and I use systemically. I've noticed that if I have the SM90 the last 3 days I can taste something harsh. I can't really get SM90 anymore so I'm probably not going to be using it anyway. Doubt I'll be doing any flushes from here on out.

    I only do mineral, never heard of anybody flushing organic.
