So what's the deal with pH up increasing the PPM of my nutrient mix? I've been using pH up from General Hydroponics with no problems. Just curious.

Before pH up = 845 PPM.
After pH up = 1020 PPM.

The pH up is made, according to GH, using Potassium Hydroxide and Potassium Carbonate.

I'm assuming this adds more K to the mix, correct me if I'm wrong. Could this cause K toxicity?
