Im not sure exactly how those aquafarm units work, but if it’s anything like DWC you are going to want to follow the nutrient guide but cut everything in half for hydro. This should bring your Ec back in range. I would flush with strait water ph’d to 5.8 for 24hrs then reintroduce your nutrients back into the water at half strength. Adding your nutrients will drop your ph again though so make sure you adjust accordingly. Check your ph and Ec every day. You wanna see your ph drift from 5.8-6.2 over a 24-48hr period and have Ec drift the opposite, slightly down. This means your plants are up taking slightly more nutrients then water and everything is balanced. If the opposite happens and ph drifts down and Ec rises, you are over feeding and need to dilute your water and feed less next time. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

5.8 is your best setting for ph in veg and 6.2 to 6.3 is best for flower. Feeding in hydroponics, start at 400ppm for seedlings and eVery week increase your ppm by 100 until you reach 800, 900 ppm if needed. Try to keep your ph from 5.5 to 6.0 in veg and 6.0 to 6.5 in flower. Lower your bloom nutes ppm when starting flower to 1.4 ec or 1.5 and work your way back to 800 to 900 ppm if needed. Try to keep your water cool with frozen pop bottles. The nutes recommend on the label are specifically for professional growers with all the proper environmental conditions. If feeding by the label always go half what the label says. Happy growing..

Drop your EC to 1.2, make sure your starting water is at least 2-300 ppm calmag if using RO water. Lower pH to 5.8 and make sure it's reading accurately.
