Got a few plants from a friend for my tent. He used remo so I took a batch he stirred up at 50% to hold me over for the week. Feeding about 1000-1500ml each so far. First week of flower. Checked ppms of run off and it's 1600 meaning ec is double that.i know your ec shouldn't be that high. Flushed with ph'd water. Made a batch of remos nutrients in a 4 gallon at their recommend full strengthformula. Checked ppms it's in the 4000s lol got worried to feed them that so now lights are off and must feed in the am. Have to figure out what I'm doing b4 lights on. Any help is appreciated. This is my first time using nutrients.

You need to spend some quality time mixing up a gallon at a time and checking the ppms. What is your starting tap water EC? Figure out how much to use to get an EC of 1, and start there. You might have seriously stressed your plants with the high ec + flushing. Feed them a conservative ppm to start, let them recover and once they are doing well again, slowly increase. You don't need a high ec, and you really don't need to feed full strength according to their recommendations, ever. I almost never go above 1.4, but that's in coco, so I multifeed throughout the day.

Starting tap ppm is 170.
How big of pot?So just take 4 gallons water, add some of your 4000 mix to be 400 .feed till runoff is down below 1ec.

edit; 500 ppm is 1 ec.screws me up this ppm ec thing lol.
