I would say most people don't event pH their nutrient solution. They don't know how acidic something like Tiger Bloom is and feeds their plants a nutrient solution with a pH of 5 because they don't use pH up to balance it back out. I've been growing 3 years and still learning. Doubt I will ever know everything. Nutrient lockout is a real thing most people overlook. Apparently doesn't look like the case here but don't be so quick to judge me as a complete noob for posting a plant problem post.
I appreciate your advice, because I’m only here when I’m hitting a wall, nobody here would believe I’ve been doing this 25+ yrs.. with out guidance.. lol

If you are selling fertilizer you don't want to warn of it becoming ineffective with high levels, rather let the people think they just need more.....

The pH build up comes for the soil drying out and no runoff when using excessive nutes, IMO.
I totally agree. My bad habits of on 1 gal to 7 gal pots wasn’t getting any run off.. I go by the gh chart for feeding on the pro scale, so over dose isn’t likely.
