PPM in flowering

I have a healthy plant, no deficiencies. Feeding at 730 ppm in early flower. Recommended ppm from what I see is much higher, above 1000. Using Gh nutes. Should I raise the ppm by 300 or not?

I would continue feeding as is. 1.5 EC is good.

Would you say that if the plant is healthy and growing well then whatever ppm is being used is good? I just don't want to waste potential bud development in case raising the ppm would grow more bud.

I’d be more worried about keeping a healthy plant.

If you plan on cloning and rerunning the same plant perhaps you might want to experiment and try to push the feed.

IMO 1.5 EC is more than enough for almost all plants to be close or at their full potential. I think people often get caught up in the mentality that more EC and additives means more weight, which isn’t true.
