do your plants looks hungry, or healthy? Forget ppms. Read the plant and adjust accordingly, you can't force feed them, they only eat what they need.
 
you kidding on the lights? i got 2000W 1 1000w hortiflux hps bulb and 1 1000w mh bulb, when i switch to floweirng, going 2000w straight hortiflux hps

I was just stating that it's not more nutes that makes them bigger. It's better lighting, bigger pots,better environment that makes them bigger.
 
im not really sure what each of those numbers per week means?? im in the exact same situation tho. I run an ebb and flow recirculating system, and have dryna-gro nutes. I just recently started feeding 2 weeks ago. I have Gro, Protekt, Magpro, and bloom, and I have some GenHydro flora kleen for later. Anyway, im just using their recommended rates. http://dyna-gro.com/Website pdf Files/DG Hydro Feeding Chart 2014.pdf.
Im well into week 4+ of vegging, and im using the recommended week 2 quantities. I haven’t really found the sweet spot yet. I tried to give it some more Gro when adding water back, and the plants didnt seem to like it. So i started fresh again using week 2's dosage, and things seem fine after 2 days. PH was set at 5.4-5.6 and the EC topped out at .6-.7 about 320 ppm on my gauge. The numbers didnt change much yesterday, I will be checking todays results a little later.

From what ive read 900+ seems kinda high for dryn gro? but not by alot, seems like ive read people reaching into the 900's at the peak of growth.
