Need Help Working Through A Design Flaw

I have been working on an stealth grow cabinet made out of an armoire/ tv stand. But the set up of the stand I can not take the plant out once it has hit full growth before harvest. How do I flush before I harvest with this setup?

Have you grown before? If not, you probably don't need to flush. Just don't go crazy with multi-bottle "schedules," nor feed too heavily. Monitor your runoff ppms to see what the sale buildup looks like toward the end (how it changes from the start). You might feed half strength the last time or two. Add a little sugar (1/4 tsp/gal) to encourage the soil biology to make more nutrients available.
 
I have not grown before but I was recommended the to use the Fox Farm brand and schedule because it is simple and has a good layout.

Hopefully someone who uses FF can guide you. I don't think flushing is necessary as long as you don't overfeed. I don't know how that relates to FF's schedule. (I get the impression people don't follow the schedule.).

If you have the plant in a deep-walled saucer you could use a shop vac to suction the water out. I cut the bottoms off buckets to make my deep-walled saucers. Home Depot and Lowes sell a "bucket head" shop vac for about $25. It fits on top of a 5gal bucket. Buy a crevice attachment.
