First time growing

My first ever grow, currently on day 40 (since I switched to 12/12).

3 Kush clones in Canna soil, vegged for 8 weeks.
Veg nutes were FloraNova Grow aiming topping PPM @ 900 in the later weeks.
Veg light was 600w HPS, 18/6.

Switched to flower and continued to use the 600w HPS on 12/12 and FloraNova Grow for 3 weeks along with Big Bud.
Week 3 of flower, stopped Flora Nova grow and continued with Big Bud and Bud XL.
Lollipoped at the end of week 3, 12 Monsters also taken.
I plan to start using Overdrive this week and will run it for the next two weeks.
I have really struggled getting the PPM up (I wanted to aim for at least 1000PPM by this stage), but following the mixing ratios on the bottles my PPM is currently finishing at around 500PPM. The FloraNova Grow really bumped my PPM up, but my flowering nutes don't seem to be doing it.

Apparently this is a 10 week strain, so about 4 weeks to go.
I will stop the nutrients in two weeks time and finish the cycle off with pure water (PH'd) for the final two weeks.

My first ever grow and first ever thread, so just wondered what people were thinking!
Any advise / feedback appreciated. We are always learning.

They look pretty good from what I can see with the blurry pics lol

I'm seeing tip burn, I wouldn't take the PPMs any higher.

Lets see here..your using now -

Overdrive 1-5-3
Big Bud 0-1-3
Bud XL .4-0-.2

Well, you have not enough N so your going to see yellowing of the leaves from too much P and not enough N.
Bud XL is over rated/over priced snake oil...

You stopped using -

FloraNova Bloom - 4-8-7

P is too high! And if you add any of the above. It only gets worse.

I liked the FN line. I ran Grow (7-4-10) till week 3 and mixed the grow and bloom 50/50 for 2 weeks and then bloom at 100% till done.
This worked the best for me!
I did supplement S (sulfur) in the form of my home made Sweet Raw formula made from Mg sulfate (Epsom) and dark Brown sugar.....Use my name for the filter and search that here for the formula - with feeding chart.

You don't need all that pricey AN and HG Bull shit! Your way off on N needs! Try the way I did it - Skip the PPM shit for soil and follow the feed chart amounts per gallon and use the Grow and Bloom as I gave you.

You'll do a shit ton better!
