I normally water using earth juice to see blast the dry stuff and I rarely get any run off they are in 7 gallon fabric pots the plants are starting to get light in color so I checked my run off and it’s sitting at about 1300 talked with my grow shop and they said I should be using Cal mag plus with my nutrients every watering which I have not so now I am flushing some of this salt build up and using Cal mag plus while I’m flushing dumping about 8 gallons or so of water in each pot dose this sound ok at this point
Run off is 1300

Runoff means nothing
Flush to clean salts, and focus on what goes in not out

Rite on. so should I not be looking for the ppm of the run off to drop during these flushings

Nope
You can hit salt pockets, it's high, miss them, it's low

Very true I don’t ever worry about the runoff but ur numbers are right.
So what is your guys feeding regimen I’ve only been giving my plants 400 to 550 ppm of earthjuuice seablast bloom every watering giving about a gallon and a half per plant in 7 gallon fabric pots the plants are getting lighter green after this flush I’m going to up the ppm to about 700 with the cal mag added every watering and continuing soluca from here on out. and every watering I plan to increase ppm by 100 and maybe straight water with cal mag and silica every few waterings

Personally don’t have a schedule. I check them everyday and I go off how they look, soil texture, weight and a water density meter it’s like 2 bucks. Nutes twice a week and if they look dry just ph’ed water

Ok understood its hydro I do, all the best sorting the issue.
Been hitting my plants minimum 1300ppm to 1900ppm max. The only issue I have currently is my GH side. Kinda light got some rust spots. Wont go away at all. I'm speculating it's the GH itself. Because my H&G side is fine. Some friends of mine using GH are also having this issue.
