Day 31 flower and super high ppm runoff!

I have an issue here. I am about mid flower right now and I started noticing a few clawed leaves here and there and some burnt tips. A few plants have some leaves dying/falling off from the bottom up and yellowing. A lot of them also have purple/red stems and petioles but I believe this is due to the plants being root bound in their 3 gallon pots.. they were growing absolutely fine up till about day 24 of flower. I have multiple strains in the room and queit a bit of plants. I am in a soiless (promix) and coco mix. A few days before I switched to flower when I transplanted from the 1 gal to 3 gal pots, I mixed in some jobes organic granules in the mix which is a lot like the espoma products.

So the other night I was feeding/watering and decided to check the runoff of the plants. Some of them were showing anywhere from 1900 to 3600 ppm!! But ive read in other places not to really worry about the runoff readings unless your plants are exhibiting problems (which in my case they are definitely starting to).

Basically I'm just wondering if I should maybe give ph'd water and a clearing solution (I have house and garden drip clean and also a gallon of GH FloraKleen) for the next few waterings. Or should I actually flush the plants out individually which would be a pain in the ass considering I have around 40 plants and not much room to work around. But ill do it, if it will save the grow! The only thing I worry about with flushing is stalling multiple plants and getting waterlogged/overwatering as we all know they go down hill from that point, which is terrible during flower.
 
I'll have to wait till lights are on tonight before I can get any pics brother... Last pics I got were from day 26-27.

A few are a bit droopy in that pic because I had just watered them before the lights went out. The one in the middle is a lighter shade due to the light directly above it.

Not root bound
No need to flush either

Sometimes slow growth is just a condition of growing in soil
 
It sounds like you are getting ready to trash your grow over a few yellowing leaves:wall:
Not necessarily, a flush is the absolute last thing I want to do. I'll just have to get new photos and show you guys what I'm talking about. A few of them are looking pretty ruff.
 
I think i just got carried away feeding extra (bottled) nutrients when they already had food in the medium to begin with. I think I'll just feed ph'd water and add a little recharge for the next 2 or 3 feedings and see if that helps the ones that are showing problems.
