Water more....perform a heavy flush of the substrate to bring the PPM down. Only way to help your high levels. Good luck and happy growing

I ran out of pH down buffer last week, so I haven't been lowering my pH in the last few weeks. The water I'm working with has a 7 pH level. Would this be ok until harvest or should I get more buffer solution?

EC and PPM I read about EC and PPM. I have a meter that reads both, and it says my PPM is too low, and the number it gives for EC is like 1200 and the charts all have numbers like 1.2-2. WTF. I ran out of pH strips but I know my pH is good, I used distilled water. What's everyone's thought?

When to start flushing Should I stop adding nutrients and just give the plants plain water now? I'm in Week 8 and many of the FastBuds Pineapple Express Auto grows I've seen harvest around week 10. Would switching to just water be a sufficient flush?

Yellow leaves The lower leaves turn yellow Is it due to a lack of nitrogen, or is it self-defoliation of the plant? (photos at week 5) I look forward to your advice) Should other leaves be defoliated or left as they are?
