PPM is driving me crazy ....

As I've posted before, my reservoir will drop ppm instead of going up like everyone else. Most people have to add pure water to it, while I keep having to top off with more nutes. I assumed they wanted more nutes. By the time I raise it to where the it's at least the same every morning, I get a little leaf burn on new growth tips, so I back off. I use GH flora series, recharge, and mammoth P, top feed recirculating in 7 gal pots of rockwool. Other than my plants are taking in way more nutrients than water, I can't figure out what's up. Is this a good or a bad thing?

I add water to mine then pH. After a few days of it chugging down, I switch the reservoir water out with fresh nutes.

Your TDS should be dropping almost daily, especially from a few weeks into veg. It's a good thing :)

It's a week into flower. My plants do this in the veg and flower room. I think I just have my shit really dialed in.
Yeah, when your girls are chugging nutes at a high rate, they're putting all that into growth and energy, along with the light they're soaking up. With RDWC, they grow like they're supercharged :)
