So I switched to ebb and flow and everything is great. Im running 5 strains to test it out and running a perpetual harvest. One thing I over looked is flushing. Do I need to set up a tub for them and drain to waste? Any ideas?

What ppm are your nutes?
You should only need to 'flush' near the end of flowering.
Most mj nute mfgs suggest simply lowering the ppm over the last couple weeks, which is the best way to flush. I max at ~ 1000, then each subsequent week, I drop by 200 ppms

Vg?
Ppm is around 660 and I just upped it to 950. I was trying to keep from burning up the you get plants. I clone and go to flower. Single cola sog style. I'm worried about losing some yield on the younger plants if I start to lower the ppm.

Had the same problem myself when I started plants at differant stages,as they are in pots can you remove them for a flush?
flushing has nothing to do with yield. And you don't "need" to flush. Just taper them down as PetFLora says. I usually get down to around 300ppm for the last week, then plain water ONLY for the last watering.. this is only to save nutes tho since the plants don't need them anymore.
Also, you normally want to raise, or lower the ppms in increments instead all at one time. Similar to what PetFlora said for flushing. Otherwise you could burn or stress a little. Meaning you want to go from 600 to 900 over the course of two weeks or so.
As for flushing, if you don't trust me when I say you don't need to flush, you can always experiment. Flush some of them, and leave some of them. Then see if you can tell a difference.

I think I misstated my problem. I have two strains that will finish 2-3 weeks before the other but they are all in the same table. I didn't realize this so I have to flush at different times or move them to somewhere else. Only problem is I don't have the space or a extra light to do it. So I'm trying to figure out a flushing sechdule to not starve the plants that finish later but still flush the ones ready to chop'

Cant you use a create,table raised, to rest them on while flushing?
Means dong it by hand but better than not.
Unflushed weed is nasty.
Even pour str8 ph'd water by hand a couple,three times a day.
Hope you find a soloution.

have you ever thought about using smart-pots instead of plastic?
