i am starting my second time at growing i purchased a growzilla 6.0 grow box and have been trying to research readily available for auto flowering plants and have read different opinons about the same various topics . My question is growing hydroponically with aeroponic tube in the base for oxygen for the roots . i am curious about flushing. i read that its good to flush between the veg. stage and the flowering stage before starting the bloom nutrients . does anyone have experience with this and is it recommended: also do i wait ti flush until i see first signs of flowers be fore flushing if it is needed?

You shouldn’t need to flush your plants in hydroponic grow. The only legitimate reason to flush plants is to reset a toxic condition or lockout. In a hydroponic grow you simply adjust or replace your nutrient solution.

Hey @robert365 welcome to the community looks of good folks with tons of knowledge here. Pull up a seat and enjoy.
I personally like to change water before the light change. I’ll add water/nutes along the way. About two weeks into transition/12/12, I’ll change the water again. Depending on your setup, you may be able to go longer or have to add/change the water more often.
In hydro, it’s all about volume. More water makes it easier to maintain a stable root environment. Less fluctuations in ph and tds/ppm’s.
I use Jack’s nutrients so my feed schedule is the same from start to finish. I try to change out the water about every 10-14 days. Sometimes longer, just depends on the stage of the plants growth.
If you have any question, feel free to ask away. Good luck and keep’em growin!
