Need advise on PPM.

Let me start out by saying I appreciate any feedback & help on the matter. I have not used any nutrients Fox Farms Ocean Forrest in my last transplant (5 weeks or so ago, right before flip) which was from a 5 to 15 gallon smart pot. I put down a layer of soil. Then a thick layer of clay hydration pellets. Then the rest Ocean Forrest again on top. I'll start by saying I've never fed any nutes on this grow. For I've learned F.F.O.F. is already pretty damn hot right out the bag. Plus I forgot to rince pellets with water. So I think alot of excess clay dust settled in bottom. The thing that's bothering me is when I water her with runoff. When tested she's still sitting at 2500 PPM. *she was at a little over 3 K. last time check. So atleast her #'s are slowly going down in the right direction. My plant is healthy (pic attached). SO, should I leave her be.. or would yall advise using something like G.H. Flora clean, mid grow? *I dont want to strip too much away. for she's already flowering. & I would like to bulk her buds as much as possible. Should I just not worry about PPM being high, if all else seems well? *sorry, it bothers me being that high. & I'm trying to understand all this better. What would you do if your run off was sitting that high mid flower but plant looked fine??

Sorry, I hit the post button on accident before I could finish editing this. *after the "I have bot used any nutes" . The next sentence should read "I used Fox Farms Ocean Forrest... "

If it ain't broke...

Also, I just noticed a little burn on the sugar leaves. This is new. & concerns me. See attachment

Definitely don't do anything drastic like flush with flora kleen. High PPMs are pretty normal in this type of grow, and your tip burn is minimal and not uncommon in FFOF. Everything looks fine for now, keep up the good work and let it ride until the plant shows obvious signs it needs more food, then feed it an appropriate complete nutrient. Good luck!

The slight burn I'm getting from the soil. *I think this is why Ive read some peeps cut the Ocean Forrest with Happy Frog. Like half & half.

THIS is what I needed to hear. Thanks man. I'll let wr ride & keep an eye out, in case I need to drain to waste towards the end of cycle. Thanks man.

Rurumo speaks truth.
All normal

Oh, no need for pellets
Use vermiculite instead if you want to lighten the density of the soil.
