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

Should add any nutrients to these plants?
The plants don't look hungry, but since they are autos I don't want to stun them by not being one step ahead I like to keep it organic, should I emend her soil, add some wormcastings/nitrogen? I also 100ml of GH micro, veg, bloom 👽

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

phosphorus and boron anomaly
Could someone please explain the precise mechanism underlying the phosphorus anomaly? As anticipated, availability decreases with increasing pH, yet it exhibits a sudden surge at pH 8.5. What is the exact (bio)chemical rationale behind this phenomenon? Boron has a similar pattern

Super soil concentrate
I am using autoflower concentrate by living soil which in my opinion works pretty good. I've added cal/mag and flora bloom to feedings. My question is is there anything else I should add to feedings?

When changing the weekly water, do you refill the basin with regular, then add a 1/4 cup.of water with the grow formula? Or, do you fill it all the way with the grow formula water? It's says to top off with regular water between changes, but nothing about the refill.

Math check.
Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?

Flush duration in DWC
Okay, so here's the deal. A lot of people say that flushing should take a week or two. BUT flushing DWC could take only as little as 2 days. Is that true or does the medium really not matter at all? THX :)

1100 or 1500 PPM Co2
Do I keep this 1,100 PPM - 1,500 PPM level for the rest of flower (of course stop 2 weeks before harvest) and is it worthwhile to bump up to 1,500 PPM?

Can I use this as a top dressing ? If yes, do I put it on top before or after watering ? Sorry if this seems daft, I'm used to bottled nutes
Great white shark Can I use this stuff as a top dressing ?? I've been thinking of doing so, but I'm worried it may affect the pH. I've been adding it to the water before feeding.
