That's normal and what it's telling you is you have been over feeding which is pretty normal and why you start lower on nutrients than the nutrient maker suggests. Hence why I never worried about GH's nutrients mixing lower/weaker than what their measurements forecast.
About every 2 weeks I flush my relatively inert substrate to empty it of too many retained nutrients since I don't bother checking my run off EC. Flushing as done by many when they starve a plant a week or two prior to harvest isn't useful. However in hydro unless you have your nutrients dialed to your plants uptake you will retain salts.
I'm lazy and since I never run just a single pheno or strain I can't dial my nutrient reservoir. Therefore every 2 weeks I run a lower osmolar solution (roughly .3 EC) through it at high volume. I don't measure the amount but I get significant run off. Your run off EC should drop back down to no more than what you're feeding it. Then when I've finished I immediately reset the CEC by feeding it with the new reservoir that has just been mixed and pH set.
Also this retained salt in an inert plant substrate is why if your substrate dries out you can end up with an odd burn pattern that resembles K deficiency but isn't.
I hope that helps.

Opinion time:
I've got these blueberry cupcake plants that are still stretching a bit almost 2 weeks post flip. The Cinderella Purple up front are still stretching, but not near as much as the BBCC. If these were your plants, would you
1. Start tucking the tallest shoots of the BBCC like a scrog
Or
B. Just let them continue straight up and add a 3rd layer of netting if needed for support?
I can still push the netting down a bit in the front to accommodate the 2 CP plants if they don't get stretched up all the way to it.

Good morning, happy Friday!!!
34.5 oz. Damn @TCH that was close guess. Last time @Metasynth nailed it to the gram. So 1kg is still the goal. I'm running seeds this run so I likely won't have another chance until I run clones again.
I'm going with 500 if I'm right or wrong that looks so good congratulations just keep doing what you are doing can't help myself would love to see one of those buds hand trimmed

Is it too late to guess 978 grams?
Yeah she's like .6 of an ounce away from a nice even kilo!! Way to go @Laughing Grass

Lol, never too late.
Thank you! I was aiming for 1kg close but not quite. We can't do prizes unfortunately only sponsors can. I did ask.

We probably smoked a couple grams before it was weighed too.
There's such an awesome story behind that plant.
@curious2garden gave me seeds from her reversed Josey Wales cut and a couple other strains.
The seeds arrived pretty much decimated. Canada Post is rough on the mail
I tried a bunch of the GG and only one seed managed to pop.
It grew it's first node properly then self topped! Lol I've never seen that before.
I figured it was a goner but I let it continue to see if I would get a new shoot at the node.
And boy did I... I got four nodes. Never saw that before either!
So that one little mutant seed has made me 1,074.5 grams of killer weed and I still have the mother going.
