I don't flush in veg, just do reservoir changes. My flush is last week of bloom, water and Flawless Finish only.
And what about a problem plant

Reservoir change as needed if you've got something going on. What's the problem?
Bucket getting air? I had a 4 line lump lose pressure in one line before.
Hi, I saw your other thread as well and I think your plants are fine tbh. Perhaps the nutrients are a little wacky, if something is really wrong. If anything, I might try simplifying. I don't do much to my plants, and while I'm no professional I am using the same method, looks like even the same buckets as you.
If you are still having problems, I would start from the top. Change out your water, make sure you start with very low ppm/ec, fill those buckets to about 1-3 inches below the netpot. Use the lucas formula. You can also put a few capfuls (read: tablespoon) of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the water when you change it. This can help curb disease or bacteria that may have gotten into your water while you were working with it. However, I have read that too much h202 exposure is bad, so given the half-life of h202 adding a small amount once weekly is safe.
You need to be sure no light is getting into the buckets. Make sure you pebbles are covering up all the holes of the net pot. Also be sure that your air stone is positioned as close to center of the bucket as possible and cranked to max. The roots love the air.
Finally.. don't touch your plants too much. They don't seem to like too much handling. Especially if you are having any issues with your plants, you shouldn't be topping or training. From what I've read + a little experience, topping and training can really hurt the growth of a frail plant. Leave that for the healthy babies.
With a clean reset I'm sure you'll be able to eliminate any problems.. if that doesn't do it then something else is going on and it is way beyond my area of expertise, and you should always consider the advice of the more experienced before mine anyway.
Good luck to you, friend!
You might try some Z7 by Flying Skull. Great for hydro grows and really awesome product in general. Keeps your buckets and media clean, improves nutrient uptake and many other benefits for the roots. ALso can reduce nutes by about 25% when using this stuff. For $25 it treats over 400 gallons... Google it and check it out. Solves most root problems usually before they can happen. This stuff really works, not just a gimmick....
