@donnie700, Its hard to say specifically what to look for to tell if your ppm is too high or low but common things like leaf curl, color of your leaves, rate of growth...I make a living soil and I never have to feed my plants check pH or ppm (unless I see a problem). everything the plant will ever need is in the soil and I create a environment for microbes to thrive, which in turn feeds the plant. This is how nature does it. From seed to flower all I do is water and use compost tea every once in awhile. Ussually when people think they dont have enough nutrients it is actually the opposite. Too many nutrients will cause them to become "locked" . Depending on whats in your soil there is only so much space for nutrients CEC (cation exchange capacity). I would take bulbis suggestions, maybe use a compost tea and top dress some worm castings.
What kind of nutrients did you use that you said you over did? are you using bag soil?
