What about this super high EC runoff doing organics?

Hello RIU.

This is being my best grow until now, and today i got some run off on one of my trays.
"PPM" were 8.000-10.000.

I normally dont achieve i runoff, first time doing in this way. I use a drip system.

Plants are healthy and developing well.

Soil has 20% earth worm castings, and is amended with blood and bone meal; also did some bat guano and EWC top dressings.

Things i added to the water in no particular order:
Molasses, compost teas, water soluble calcium and FPJ taken from KNF recipes, kelp extract, Epsom salts.

So…

Should i care about that super high ppm reading? Or it doesn’t mean nothing in this context? I guess the ec meter can be excited by a few things, right?
I put the EC meter on the compost tea and it was about 850.
