How do I flush with a trellis? 4x4 tent

This is my second grow and I was wondering how I am supposed to flush the plant when they're all caught in the net. This is my tent currently. The largest is Incredible Bulk which is a few weeks ahead of the others. The far left corner is Night Terror OG from clone, far right is Purple Envy, close left is Amnesia Haze, and close right is Honey Suckle. I don't plan on flowering for another week and a half and I'll most likely put the smaller plants on milk crates for even lighting here in the next few days. Any and all help about anything would be deeply appreciated.

Simply don’t flush. No need to do so.

Is that net for scrog or for support?
If its for scrog you want those plants weaved under that net and trained with a node through each square, more time in veg.

You would flush the same way you water, patiently with some devise like a pipe and funnel, shop vac to remove the run off, rinse and repeat.

Just like @coreywebster says. Personally I like to use a pond pump to water, they are really cheap at harbor freight or on amazon.

Is that one of those that suck through a little tube rather than like an aquarium pump? Because someone was showing one off last year but I didn't know what they were called.

Advice for lurkers - don't SCROG or screen different strains together.

I wasn't originally planning on scrogging but I had the extra PVC and string so I just made one.

What do you mean by something more effective? These pumps come in all sizes, they allow you to literally move as much water as you want. In the past I hooked up a hose and a garden water wand water thingie worked like a champ but I had a huge workload back then, now I just do it without the wand.

Effective wasn;t the right word to use, I think I meant simple. Thank you, I'll most likely do a small aquarium pump and get some tubing at lowes or something. Is there a specific pump you recommend? I'm more worried on getting the water out of the tent.

A shop vac is a needed tool in almost every grow area. That's what you'll use to get it out like Corey an I said above.

For a water pump you'll want at least a 200 GPH pump, a 300 GPH is better. Look at how many vertical feet it can pump the water, small ones can only push a couple of feet before they are down to a trickle. Remember you have to stand there holding it, if it takes 3 min to pump 2 gallons it can be a real pain in the ass!
An ya I also got the tubing from lowes it's cheap by the foot. Wider tube costs more but gives better flow at lower pressure, so think about that angle. You can always get a smaller one connected to the pump then a bigger one sleeved over it for example..

The 20$ harbor freight pump works well btw.
