What would be the most efficient ppm for G 13 plants that are 15-19 inches tall? I am currently running 806 ppm.

Exactly! Do it in small steps, once you see a little bit of tip burn back off. People can tell you "safe" ppms but everybody's garden is different the only way to really know is to find out for yourself.

the plant ppm is 800 and about 20 % of the leaves have very minor tip burn. I am thinking 770 next cycle will be better. Also about 1 inch of just 1 leaf is turning lighter shades of green. Is that a deficiency or due to the nutes?

It's rare to get much more than a slight mg def in hydro if your pH is in line and your strength is right.

I completely agree with what Japanfreak has posted in all three of his posts.
