Brand new ppm meter.
RO water at 6.5ph
6ml calmag
12ml pbp grow
6ml silica
6ml liquid karma
2ml Hydroguard
2ml rhyzo blast
2.4 ppm
4.2ph
Ph'd to 6.4 and just watered
Just ppm'd the run off

im confused by what you've written...are you measuring PPM or EC
you have a new ppm meter but your giving both Ec and PPM numbers and im not sure why there so high

2.4 ppm ?????
(huh!)?????
4.2ph
so after you add the nutes and silica your ph is down to 4.2 and then your adjusting the ph up with what??

do you have you pen set correctly..are there options for different standards in the pen??

this one is good ..it might be slightly low on Mg but its very close
this one the EC is likely too high.. the addition of the extra calmag drove your N up put your calcium up and magnesium to the point it might affect your K uptake
with your run off being higher than your source nutes I would consider washing some 1/2 strength nutes thru it and later feeding it again lowering the calmag down to 6mls or maybe 7mls max

NO.
NEVER FLUSH COCO WITH WATER.
Instead, use standard strength nutes and water to 50% runoff or more.

Cuz he didn't water to runoff, so the salts built up.

ya but hes claiming the starting EC of his solution is 2.6
the mixed solution shouldn't be but half that

You're operating under the assumption that he knows what he's doing. This is never a good idea, lol

2.4ec not ppm.
I have no idea why my EC is so high either. I do water with 20% run off every feed. I feed the two smaller girls ever 3 day they in gallon pots and the large mom ever 5 days as she is in a 5 gallon smart pot.

im not referring to your run off
the solution your mixing adding the nutes as you say you have shouldn't yield an EC of 2.4
it should be almost half that
so either you got something going on on your end or my math is off... and I verified my math
you got a brand new EC pen? or are you still using the same one?
what is the EC of the source water from the tap before you add any nutes

the small bit of yellow most of us have on the newest growth that tends to disappear as the leaf matures
well its been driving me crazy... heard it said that its normal!
had to find out for myself
so I did a little experiment
I took the extra clones from my last batch, the ones id normally throw away and will end up tossing in another week
I set them to grow in bloom and I waited for the yellowing to appear that I usually see the first 2 weeks of flower and later disappears
I sprayed half of them with zince edta and half with iron dtpa
iron with aminos.....over night the entire plant was darker including the yellowing new growth
zinc with aminos..... although it didn't make the impact that the iron made and the yellowing didn't improve the over all look of the plants was happy
which I suspect was a result of the aminos
so im adjusting my iron up a bit more... I may also change my feeding schedule to feed veg nutes for the first 2 weeks of flower.. it is possible the high P in my bloom nutes are affecting iron uptake in early flower but subsiding as the plants need for P increase
so ive dropped my P fractionally
I also seen a tiny few rust colored speckles on the lower fan leaves so im going to bump up my calcium a wee bit also
