Hydro PPM too high

What would it make the plant look like?

Dark green leaves, droppy, curling in on themselves?

pH 5.5-6.5 (2 day fluctuation)
65-70F temp
1000ppm

They're about a month old, about to flower, but still in veg.

I think it's getting better...I dumped 2g RO in the res yesterday, brought it back down to 800ish, I THINK they're looking better...?

If the leaves look waxy or too shiny and hooking.....more than likely your ppms are too high.....only up your ppms when your plants are showing visible signs of deficiencies.....that way you don't over feed......it is better to under feed than over feed......remember more is not better.....I used to try and push my plants to the limit when I first started growing hydroponically......secret to a tasty hydroponic harvest is to not over feed......
