Just flipped my girls to flower and am starting to have some yellowing starting in my bluenana and I had a nutrient lock out cuz of salt built up on my frosted apricots plant my jeallylicious is fine tho last feeding I watered on day 41 0 ppm water at a ph of 6.74 and my run off was 6.14 and ppm run off was 2240 more then what I fed in the last feeding so ik that my frosted apricots plant had nute lock and I flushed and got it down to 940 ppm then the next day I watered it and the ppm run off was 1050 on day 46 of watering it idk why my ppm are higher the next day after I flush and get them down to about 600-700 ppm I water and check the next day and they went up I'm not adding no more nute I'm watering with distilled water no ppm shouldn't my runoff be lower. I'm using fox farm ocean forest soil in 3 gallon pots a few days ago in day 48 of veg I fed them a little more. I fed each plant 680 ppm at 6.41 ph of nutes i used 1.5 ml calmag 1 tsp big bloom and 1 tsp of grow big. Then I water in day 52 of veg and run off was looking better my jeallylicious was 380 ppm and 6.33ph runoff. The bluenana was was 1150 and 6.03ph run off and the frosted apricots the one I think I had a lock out on was 520 ppm and 6.28 ph runoff then I waited two days for them to drink the water and watered no feeding either in between and checked runoff again and the jellylicious was 6.83 and 720 ppm in my run off, the frosted apricots was 6.73 and 810 ppm run off and bluenana was 6.49 ph and 1090 ppm can someone tell my why my ppm goes up the next in my runoff and I don't feed them any more I just don't understand. Also I just flipped to flower it is day 53 since starting and day one of flower I'm uso fox nute line how much should I be feeding them in the beginning of flower I don't wanna over feed and I don't want them to get hungry til I flush could you experienced growers please give some advice.

Thanks for all the information, but it's condensed and hard to read. If I'm understanding correctly, you are feeding and getting a runoff PPM measurement. You're then watering the next time and your ruff PPM is higher than before. That is because FoxFarm has organic nutrients in it and microbes break them down.
Oh ok so today I'm am flushing with tap water and 1 tsp sledge hammer my flush solution had 460 ppm and was 6.42 ph I just ran it through my first plant and checked my runoff and it was 1520 ppm minus the 460 ppm I had in my flush water the runoff was 1060 I assume I'm washing out assess nutrients and salt build up after I flush each plant I wanna give them their first flower feeding around 900-1000 ppm. I'm feeding once per week with two watering in between and a day between each watering to let the pots dry should I be feeding less? I just wanna make sure I don't over or under feed especially going into flower
On the second watering I'm gunna give it great white and molasses the help the feeding and soil quality let dry for a day then I will feed let it dry for a day then water then dry and repeat the cycle I just would like to see my ppm go down in the next waterings and they don't. So I can tell if my plants are locked out or if it fox farm organic nutes breaking them down making my ppm run off go up from the other day I fed ?
@Michael Bass Ok, some phenos can take that range np. You said let it dry for a day; It may take several days for the medium to dry out.
