When you type this out and I am reading it I get the impression that you are watering every day.
You need to get your watering more regular...doesnt make much sense that you water on sunday, and then water again on monday with feed??? then wednesday feed again and friday not? Seems all over the place and too many waterings! Otherwise, i say, like someone mentioned..lower your N, and no, nitrogen from these bottled nutes will not lockout other elements besides sulfur, and adjust your waterings/feedings to a more stable schedule!

Go flush your plants.
It's going to tell you how much fertilizer you have built up..if done properly. If you know what you started with, and you know what you've been adding throughout the grow, then one should know, from experience, what the runoff should be close to. If you start with 300ppm, and give feedings every second watering at say 500 ppm, and after a month you're up to 2000ppm runoff..you know something isn't right!

Thank a mill.... I checked my run off this morning an it was 1045It's going to tell you how much fertilizer you have built up..if done properly.

That should be ok, but it depends on other variables. It also depends on how the runoff water is taken. Size of your container, size of the root ball of the plant, how you watered/fed in the weeks leading up to testing. Sometimes salts can build up on the bottom of the pot at first, and the root mass isn't affected yet. If roots are growing around the bottom of the pot, then it will cause problems as the roots are sitting in it. However if the roots didn't develop all the way down and instead are concentrated to the middle of the pot, then you can getaway with it for longer. At a ppm of 1000, the medium should contain what's needed for a decent sized plant.
You're deep into flowering, nitrogen should be cut back. Maybe more pics of the plant from farther back..the yellowing isn't consistent with potassium deficiency, it resembles it, but the leaves should burn/yellow at the edges uniformly..yours are not doing that. Once potassium doesn't get through..the leaves can't keep themselves cool and start to burn equally from the edges in.

you state you water four out of seven days. might want to get that down to once every three days ....maybe get a bigger pot so you have more medium to deal with holds more water more roots dries out in less time.
