Might that be causing the ppm to rise?
Nute lockout in DWC?

Flushing with pure water will not 'flush' as well as having some nutrient in the water

youre thinking of coco grows. dwc grows flush better with plain old water.

Ppm stayed the same again (320) overnight and i think some of the yellow leaves seem to be turning green. Am I good to increase ppm to say 500? (my water is 120)
What about the additives (Rhizo, Cannazyme, Boost), when should i think about using these?
Any thoughts appreciated!

Theres me getting all excited i had some replies and its just you guys squabling 
I went up to 500ppm yesterday and she didnt like it - it had risen to 800 this morning so back down it went, to 500.
But she still looks very unwell. Im trying to take on what youve all said about reading the plant, if i do this she seems to be saying "feed me!!!" but if i read the ppm meter its saying "dont feed me, i tried 500 and it shot up to 800". So im confused. She definitely looks like she needs something!!
I reckon im over the worst of the nute toxicity but i really helping getting her back to health!
Cheers!

I run my nute between 800-1900 ppm in cycle for mature plant with no adverse effect (no sign of deficiency or toxicity). It seems to me your plant is showing manganese deficiency...have you tried starting your ph at 5.5-5.8 and let it swing upward?Theres me getting all excited i had some replies and its just you guys squabling

Cheers Xs. Interesting you run high ppm, lots of people saying much lower, around 600 or so. Im at 500 and i expect it to go up cos she looks really hungry for something.
No ive not tried that. How would that help? I keep it around 6 but wonder if it would help nute absorbtion if i went higher or lower...?
Fresh rez and up 100ppm a day seems to be slowly working, fingers crossed i find the right ppm (and eliminate what deficiency she has) soon ...

Your plant problem indicate problem with micro elements(immobile nutrients). It does look like problem with Sulphur and or iron deficiency but at ph 6 you shouldn't have problem absorbing those elements. However, at ph 6 and above you lockout manganese. Manganese absorption is from 5.8 and below. Check out what Manganese deficiency looks like.
As to high ppm or low ppm, it doesn't matter what's your ppm (IMO), what is important is the right amount of the individual elements at the right time. So, if a plant requires a high dosage of each element at such period of time then obviously you will be feeding it with high ppm. The trick in feeding is knowing when to give it full strength and when to lower the dosage. A lot of people feed in a constant ppm, I don't, I feed in a cycle of high and low.

don't be in such a hurry.
if it's eating at 300, it's not going to eat more at 500. it doesnt work that way.
if you have 4 hamburgers on your plate, are you going to eat faster if there is 8 hamburgers instead?
