Has anybody ever had to give over 4.0ec to keep their princesses happy?

Seems like a wild lot of nutes for week 2 flower but if it keeps them happy and stops the leave twisting effect it has to be done... right?

The water even looks filthy

havent flushed in a week odd now and just wandering should i flush and reset the Ec to 2.5 or first
Am using an Ec metre for the first time and wander also does the EC rise when the lights are off them drop in the first few hours of lights on with the feeding so i'd be better to test the Ec after lights on a few hours and them raise or lower ?

is that measuring your runoff or your nutrient solution? i have never heard of anyone going that high, i think the highest i have ever gone is 1.9 in soil.

*an EC of 4.0 is deadly for hydroponic applications.. unless your using 100% all organic micros/macros ..then an EC 4.0 wouldnt really be an issue..

--so if your using synthetics, id advise you to drop your EC to (800-1.2)

The plants where at 1.2 Ec and the leaves were twisting and yellowing

Yeah its synthetic nutrients, Ive been putting in 25 of a and b every night for about 5 days, between that and adding benificial fungus and what do u call it salts, the plants really do seem to want the higher Ec
