PPM's are jumping up by themselves? I think that MIGHT mean your plant is drinking more water, and not absorbing as many of the nutes. I was led to believe the roots have the ability to somewhat regulate the amount of nutrients they uptake to a certain degree...So your plant is thirsty, and not so hungry...Try cutting back a little maybe and see if it stabilizes?

Also, did you recently switch to flowering nutes? If you've only been in 12/12 for a week, and you switched to flowering nutes cold turkey, the plant might still be looking for nitrogen for it's stretch period, and not digging the bloom nutes.

Need more information...lol

what you described is exactly what happens in hydro and should not be a surprise. keep the rez topped off and the ppm's will actually lower a bit everday. the reason your leaves look deformed is because the ph is too high. get it back in range and you will be totally fine.

Topped off means between reservoir changes, you need to add plain water every now and then (usually once a day for larger plants) to keep the water level consistant.

I will actually add a small amount of nutes as well, but iw ould only do this if you think you know what you are doing, you'd hate to mix it too strong in your rez and have to dump everything.
