I THINK i hay have had a momemt of UN-NOOBNESS

ok I'm going to begin by saying I am a COMPLETE NOOBY NOOB, NOOB... and to make matters worse... im Trying to run a "vegan" Hydroponic DWC system with bubblers. but i had a thought and need some help in correction .

I have a Pineapple express photoperiod and a cream cookies auto , both are in week 4 of flower . Pics below.

I went to check on the girls this morning and I noticed the my pineapple lady is drinking almost 3/4 gal a day... humongous root mass in 5 gal bucket.. actually pushing the lid up.. she's now 2 1/2' w, 2 1/2' deep, 3' tall. I won't leave my next photo in veg so long (Very noob mistake... would be one of many ... lo lol lo).
So I had a thought ... if my PPM' rise, (higher than when I made the nute water...) but she is drinking a ton of water... isn't this a signal that I can cut back on my Nutes??????? It would seem that the plant is telling me that... "IM THIRSTY... NOT HUNGRY " ???? please correct me here b/c i feel like.
If environment is #1, then Nutritionals are 1b. , if our plants ingest light... Co2...(environmental) at the foliage level ... its the same at the Root level... nutes ingested. But still environmental...(corrections here plz)?? but I digress, b/c it would seem easier for me as noob to measure my nutrient water in terms of volume and PPM'S to let me know if I should / could add nutes .. or even better dail nutes in even tighter using the nute water vol/ppm... IN THAT BOTH SHOULD FALL TOGETHER relatively speaking of course. Any opinions????
Also, plz tell me THAT IM SUPPOSED TO BE SEEING THAT WHITE STUFF AND IT NOT MOLD... ITS ON THE FLOWERS AND LEAFS CLOSE TO IT... LOLOL see pics ( ANY HELP HERE ONLY ADDS TOBMY LEARNING ... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR RESPONSES... loool sorry for caps... i got excited lolol
