Didn't get it right where it should be. Will it work? Or do i need to bring it down more? When i mixed the nutes i added the difference that it took to get to the veg amount. How did i mix it so strong?
Bring it down more. Half of where it is now. 1 EC or 500 ppm. Let them recover and adjust higher if needed.

More nutrients than water = higher EC
I'd suggest following the nutrient companies suggested dosing and using either half the amount of nutrients (half strength) or use the amount suggested and double the amount of water (also half strength).

Im using advanced nutrients and the schedule they provide and the dosing amounts.

Hey Im curious about the water you're mixing with(source,ppm,ph). And which base nutrient are u using? Is it ph perfect? I'd like to learn why you haven't burned yet, I dont understand, if I had that ec my plant would be toast. But yours are looking pretty good.

Tap water. Its probably at 160 ppm by itself. I just use advanced nutrients jungle juice. Not the ph perfect kind. Then when i mixed my nutes originally it was over 2000. I am using advanced nutrients schedule all the way. I had seedling nutes in there for about 2 weeks. Then i just adjusted them and added the difference.

No they're asshats and dislike their nutrients. Just keep the ec low and ec roll with it. The terpinator and perpenator are useless.if you're not using ro water the cal mag can end up locking things out. There should be plenty in the the part.
So just the 3 part nutrients is good? Till i run out and i would like to switch.

Jack's 3-2-1 would be my number one suggestion. Gives fantastic results and is cheap.

Mega Crop makes an almost identical 2-part and you can add epsom salts to copy the Jack's program.

Mega crop professional 2 part or their one part are great and cost effective, Athena's pro line, dakine 420 three part is super clean. These are ones I like and use.

This is all that i use then? Its powder obviously. Will it leave sediment in my resevoir?
That and Part B. The Part B is your calcium source. I've never used the MC 2-part nutrients just their all-in-one 1-part which didn't always mix well. The 2-part should be fine as longer as you mix you nutrients in the correct order.
