How this plant has drink all that water and left the nutrients is completely beside me. I've been running a sterile reservoir with a chiller at 72°I I had given up on this plant it was all droopy and stuff and I turned off all the pumps everything let it sit for 4 days in the dark and I came back and it was thriving and I just don't get it this is just a few pictures of me leaving the reservoir for a week not topping it off every day weekly I've been going back and changing the ppm's 2 about 150 increase every week just until I can see some slight burning and I'm at 1100 now but this plan is literally drinking all the water and the parts per million were 700 using Maxi bloom straight from seedlings and clear Rez with chiller.. this is gelato og.and this is the reservoir right before res change and the canopy before low-stress training

1100ppm is too high for hydro. Your roots can end up with nutrient lockout. I usually don't go above 700 in my RDWC using MaxiBloom.

Your plants will definitely drink more water in flower, but if your environment is really warm, or too dry, the plants will perspire to counter this.

Think of nutrients as vitamins. You take a vitamin each day to help you maintain your health. But taking two or three has no effect on how healthy you feel. You might even get ill from taking too many. Same with plants. More is not better.

BTW, when I said that your plants will perspire to counter heat and/or dryness, I meant it as why your plants might be taking in a lot of water, if you hadn't gotten that. It'll make your grow space really humid. You want to try for 50% or higher RH during veg, and somewhere around 35% for flower. Really, anything below 50% during flower is good, but 40% is better, etc...
