If i understand correctly, the only nute you are putting in your system is PBP grow right?
Total Nitrogen (N): 3.0%
Total Nitrogen (N): 3.0% Water Soluble Nitrogen
Available Phosphate (P2O5): 2.0%
Soluble Potash (K2O): 4.0%
Calcium (Ca): 1.0%
Magnesium (Mg): 0.5%
Magnesium (Mg): 0.5% Water Soluble Magnesium (Mg)

No FRIKKIN MICRO NUTES MAN!!!

You have ZERO iron (should be 4-6 ppm), zinc (.5-1), copper (.2-.6), Molybdenum (.2), boron (.4), manganese (0.2ish)

No sulphur!!!
should be 40 ppm

Buy this:
GH flora nova bloom and CaliMagic. Has ALL micro and macros you need in one nute. Perfect for hydro begnners. The CaliMagic you need because you are using filtered water.

Remember:
3:1 Ca/Mg
1:1 Sulphur/Mg
2:1 Iron/zinc + manganese
Keep calcium above 130 ppm once out of seedling stage. It must stay constant throughout the grow.
Keep iron above 4 ppm.

You only need to flush twice during your grow, unless you are having problems. Once in between veg/flower, and once VERY close to chop, like 2 days. Don't listen to people who say you have to flush for weeks. This deprives the plant of critical nutrients it needs mainly immobile like Calcium.
With a 600 HPS you will have very high nutrient demand. If you have low humidity in your tent aim for about 1.8 EC at the most during late veg and mid flower.. you have to check your reservoir at least once every 2 days if you want to avoid problems by catching them early.
