which ff you using? Some of their stuff already has some nutrients added, doesn't it? What are you setting your ph at?

I’m using happy frog and ocean forest,I didn’t think any nutes were added.Should I just give water until the number goes down to 1500 or flush and use sledgehammer?Im ph’ing tapwater down to 6.8 or less.

yes just use water. Also your PH is to high. FF is a soilless mix meaning it uses peat moss or coco as the base. You should PH your water to 5.8 to 6.1. If you want to uses your nutes and can get it I use Promix HP. It really doesn't have any nutrients added. I've been growing in the same Promix for 5 years
