750-950ppm early flower?

i got a rez with 8 gallons of purified water. The water alone sits at roughly 50ppm, so this means I compensate the remaining 700ppm missing by adding nutes? if so, if the directions say 1tsp per gallon, does this mean add 8tsp to the 8 gallon rezavor... I have been adding 3tsp to the 8 gallon rez recently but the ppm was at about 450 does this mean i need to add nutes... I believe my plants are suffering a potassium def because the lower leaves are crisping at the tips and curling... i think i may need to boost my nutrients intake, any thoughts??? also this 8 gallon rez is on a drip system supporting 4 plants (3 in hydroton 1 in coco)

feed them hoes .. them numbers work for early flower.

Like this 750 + 50 = 800 ppm 50 does not count toward the targeted ppm......and If you are certain it is potassium def. then bump up 200 ppm give it a couple days and see how they take to it ....I see that you mention purified water and I am assuming it is Reverse Osmosis water ....if so are adding a calcium magnesium additive ?? or does the nutrients you have already have them in them??

why doesnt the 50 from the tap count.. thats racist.

yeah its reverse osmosis.. i have been reading up on calcium and mag being more common with coco so i am trying to pick up some calmag to add with the nutes.... so I am safe to give them 8tsp to the 8 gallon rez if the recommened dosage is 1tsp to the gallon?

no... what nutrients are you using?

What nutrients are you using..........and you need a cal mag additive if your nutrient doesnt already provide the the extra needed when using Reverse osmosis water.....and the ppm of your water does not count because more than likely it does not contain a properly balanced amount of nutrients usable to a plant...that 50 ppm could be any salts that could be usable but since 50 ppm is not very significant and we are not sure whats in there
we go by what we know is in there....
