If my ppm were coming in hot (around 1750 early flowering) in just one pot and I just watered last night and I am having some droop on one of my plants. Am I supposed to let things dry out a bit? Do I wait until the next watering to flush in a few day? Or do I essentially just force a flush now even though it could Potential be some overwatering involved. Would it be more dangerous to leave a hot medium for a cpl days longer or overwater now? I had a little droop before this feeding at its dropping even harder now. I was leaning more forwards giving it another day or two until the next watering

My gut says to flush. I posted a link in live stoner chat to your question, so hopefully someone with the experience will stop in. I think you may have something else happening like nutrient lockout, and that is why the ppm's are so high.

@Thedogfish :welcome:Welcome to AFN:welcome:Before you do anything radical lets get some more information.

Please fill in this form: (copy and paste part is below, this first one tell what specifically to include)

-Problem: (brief description)
-Medium/grow method: soil; soilless-- coco, or peat based like Promix, etc. (please provide the actual product name); DWC, NFT, etc.
-Feed and supplements used: include brand, dosage/strength, frequency of feeding and watering (alone); method-- by hand, drippers, rercirc' or drain-to-waste,... N-P-K #'s too if you can!
-Water source: RO/DI; tap- dechlorinated-?..... EC or TDS reading; pH (don't bother with this on RO/DI, do bother with TDS/EC though to confirm it's working well enough)
-Strain and age
-Climate: night and day ambient T and RH%; res' temperatures; any extremes in T/RH% exposure
- Light used: HID, LED, COB, combo of,... wattage; light cycle hours (20/4, 18/6 , etc.); distance to tops....
-Additional info: PH in the root zone. How long have the plants been affected?...How fast did symptoms appear?... Anything else you think might be relevant..

--Pictures including WHOLE PLANT PICS, and troubled leaves.. use normal light or flash as other light sources ruin color rendering, critical for diagnostics! Turn off the grow lights.
