Skittlez auto (soil) amnesia (dwc) first grow

Hey all newbie here just few questions on these plants I have 2 named above and am wondering can anyone tell me how long they can take ? Il pop up few pics they are on week six and been under 24 hr light since seed ( read loads about pros and cons etc ) this is a trial run hence soil and dwc and 24 hr light , Iv tried to have everything as to what people rekon on various sites and that ie dwc: following ppm ph etc same with the soil , the skittlez is doing ok I think but the amnesia seems to have to many leaves for the buds to get light ? They were under led for germination and then 400w hps for veg then turned up to 600w at start of flower , all help greatly received Ohh il put up pics of amnesia tomorrow the 2 pics are the skittlez first one is close up of top of cola

These are the amnesia

I understand the ppm but I have a ppm/ec pen and I’m reading the ec is done with decimal point but my reading as as follows with amnesia auto in dwc I don’t understand the reading the pen is giving me , pics attached

Could someone help with ec readings please ?

2000 EC on the .500 scale is 2.0 EC/1000 PPM

So, I'm currently feeding 900ppm which comes to 1.8 EC.

Thanks so much for your reply , I was worried it was way to high , I’m hoping I’m in right area so

Can I ask you I check my ph of my water going in but on the run off it’s coming out at 4.9 -5.2 ec is 2980 and ppm is 1450, is that the norm or am I over feeding them ?thanks again for your reply

I'm assuming that's in soil? If so, you can't judge what's going on in soil by the runoff as it will always have higher EC coming out.

No that’s in DWC (amnesia) auto , the skittlez is in soil also auto , that is small but full of buds the amnesia is taking off now bud wise , I’m just worried about the water in the DWC as I don’t want to mess up this late in the game , I will put up another pic or two tomorrow ,this is the main cola on skittlez

Amnesia she’s not looking as yellow now though
