My plants are ready to flip soon about 6 weeks old and I just fed with 856 ppm. What are your thoughts, too much?

Post a pic of a plant with HID lighting off for us to see. That seems awfully high to me but I have no idea the medium so assuming soil?

Did you use tap water? Nice job so far. Very nice looking plants. I ask because you can cause lockout very quickly. Actual salts buildup around the root due to a low EC in the plant and a high EC in the medium. The water will be drawn in more quickly than large molecule magnesium and especially calcium in tapwater leaving those salts precipitates around the roots. Jus wondering is all. Obviously you have it going on.

I used ro in the beginning and had issues. Seemed like calmag ph issues and I believe it's from my ro being alkalined even though I ph'd. So.I've used tap since then until today. I tried with my ro again. Thank you for the kind words

I think you're fine. Your plants look healthy, and that's the most important part. You can find post about growers who are upwards of 1500-1600ppm through flowering. 856 is fine. To be honest, it looks like your plants are asking for a little more magnesium and possibly some more N. Your plants look healthy, so keep on! :bigjoint:
