the numbers mean nothing without knowing how strong the nutrients are the ec is kinda high in my world but thats my world need to know the ppm of the run off, the number you posted say nothing about the strength and only how alkiline or acidic and the electro conduction or salt content of the run off

again those numbers mean jack each one means something entirely different, ppm, parts per million means the amount of nutrient content including the bad shit as the ec goes up usually that means the salts are building up or the nutrients are depleted, if you think about your post you might actually solve your problem yourself , here is a example of the the right set of numbers in a healthy plant, ph 6.0, ec 1.1, ppm 700 for a run off reading, going in it should be ph 5.8, ec 1.4, ppm 1230, i could just give you the anwser but then you will not ever learn on your own, im already giving you the missing data needed to figure out if you need more nutrient, i will say this you dont get the issue resolved i promise your ec will rocket like its on crack and you will lock-out your grow
