Ppm on first feed high!

A bit confused so I’m in week 2 on my 2 plants and I fed them once (half dose each) so it can ease into the feed ! But my ppm is reading 800 already! I read you want 300-450 for first half veg what should I do to bring it down safely or will it fix itself just watering over days?

Just water them... you can run some water through them right now if you want and measure the ppm of the runoff.... Be careful, btw, when you transplant... do it as gently as possible because autoflowers do not like to be transplanted and it may interrupt their schedule... autos are best germinated in the pot they're going to finish their lives in... Good luck!

Plants this size if started in half decent soil do not require feeding for 3-4 weeks........

I think you should've give them no nutrients at all at this time of their lifecycle. and on my research I have found out, that you should start with even less than half the dose for autoflowers, maybe 1/4th of the dosage that's recommended. But it will fix itself with watering... I'm not experienced enough to help you with the flushing like granny adviced.. I would be scared to drown them immediately after that too 😂
