Trying to see what this is telling me.
My tap water runs around 180 ppm
added base nute(csn17 grow) 600ppm
So I put in 780 ppm
30% run off 350-400ppm
is this ideal???

Next thing tho Botanicare website list 10ml(csn17 grow)=750ppm but yet I get around 450ppm. I check my hana meter and its dead on 1382 base soultion should I just keeping adding grow ml till I get up to 750ppm or should I just stick to the 10ml it call for even tho my ppm is under???

also if my ph rises from 5.8 in run off to 6.+ dose this mean its hungry and if it falls under 5.8 to back off nute becuse its over feed????
 
I've never checked the ppm of my run off, and frankly, really don't see any reason to. As long as you've got a good number going in and the plants are doing well, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. pH is what you need to focus on.
