Ok so i know people hate on advanced but I have used jungle juice 3 part ph perfect before and here I am again. I'm in week 2 of flower tang dream. Having minor tip burn maybe 3% of the leaves have more than minor. Ppm is at 500 should be closer to 1000 but I always stay under recommended (just not that much) should I bring the ppm up to 1000. Also have to add the rhino skin now that in flower..any thoughts on result of low ppm
Ppm too low?

More nutrients does not mean more buds or growth. If the tips are getting burned then no you shouldn't raise the ppm. Force feeding them won't make things better, it will make them worse. Some plants just don't need as much feed as others.
i have only 3 grows under my belt (DWC) with auto's but what i do is set my (500 ppm tds scale) at the start of my grow at 200ppm and as the weeks go by u will see if the plant is taking up nutes by ur ppm dropping slowly thats a good thing i add 50ppm to next bucket change to keep in Rhythm with the growing plant....your aiming for a constant ppm thats the ultimate end result for me...if your ppm is going up the plant is not absorbing the nutes for sum reason and a build up of salts will rise the ppm and cause either nute lock out or tip burn,this is not for everyone but it's just what i have been doing and the grows are just getting better and better.dont love it to death it takes a tender touch its a weed and will grow hardy if it left alone(most times)..goodluck....diffrent strains react to different ppm as well ive noticed..i hit grow diary's and see what others are running(ppm/ec) with that strain
Thanks for the words. It makes sense. Sometimes a simple answer is more valuable
