Jacks321-COCO-Higher PPM Run Off Then What I Put In?

so I'm pretty new to the Coco hydroponics world I've been grown organics for a long time as I've mentioned in previous post.

I have 3 + week old plants and all Coco using Jack's 3-2-1 at full strength and tap water in part cups. my parts per million going in to the plants are ~1300ppm including our tap water. I noticed even when using RO water that the PPM would be around 1,000 my tap water is around 300 so that adds up however when I test the runoff water the ppm's aren't around 1800 I water twice a day once when I wake up and wants 10 hours later I've been doing that for the last week since my plants all had 3 + notes on them.

even though I have a high PPM on the run off the plants still seem to be responding gray and seem to be very happy. Should I be concerned about the high PPM or is this normal should I be watering three times a day what are your suggestions.

Pics are from yesterday and 2 days before that.

If your plants are happy and healthy why the hell are you worrying about runoff? If you start chasing runoff your plants will likely go to shit. Keep doing what you've been doing and forget about the damn runoff.

Its normal for the PPM of the runoff to be higher than the fertigation water. 500 points higher is ok, but you can lower it by watering more often. Coco works best when it does not drop below 90% saturation.

Coco? Almost certainly you will encounter this at some point in your life.
Yet, some growers claim to never have problems with cal or mag in coco.

Actually I don't have problems with cal or mag and I grow in coco and have never used calmag in my life. The trick to growing in coco is to use calcium nitrate as your nitrogen source and continue through flower. Because even in flower a plant needs nitrogen. I find it ridiculous that some nutrient lines yank out the nitrogen for their flowering nutes but then have you add it back with their calmag. They just want to sell another bottle for $20.

Jack rocks it because the formula uses calcium nitrate. Jacks formula is great. The only thing I would do is decrease the strength by about 30%.
