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

2181PPM!! What to do!?
2181ppm! My run off ppm got very high at the water at the end of this week. I boosted them with 7ml/gal of earthjuice big blooming guano + 2.5ml/gal earthjuice meta-k. The initial water ppm was 176ppm. Should I flush it off immediately with plain ph water? Please help guys!

Flushing or feeding
Im already flushing the plant for 2 weeks but as the Trichomes are not changing much it will need some more time to fully develop. I want to see some (10%) amber trichomes.What should I do now? Continue flushing or give some organic nutrients again? Probably need 2 weeks more.

Cheap Bennies?
Looking for a cheap alternative to Orca/Recharge/Mic. Mass/Tarantula or something to make crazy root growth in DWC and keep root rot at bay. Would toilet compost microbes work? Pond sludge remover has helped me but I'm hoping others have ideas - I want roots like in the pic!

PH measuring for Organic Growers
If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
