Nutes Question

So i wanted to know how much Fox Farm Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom i should add to my 5gal res. to get the TDS to around 1200-1300ppm's AND avoid any further damage?

Im growing 6 blue dream clones in 3gal pots using fox farm's ocean forest soil in a 6x6x6 grow-tent and one 600w hps air-cooled reflector (digital ballast).

Im starting week 2 of flower (avg. temp. 68-77F@57-64% rH)

I fed them 3tbsp of Big bloom in 2-3gal of ph'd r/o once during the last week of veg. and the leaves started showing uneven dark green and yellowish tones (TDS meter read error, meaning 2000+ppm's!)

Last watering on 2/17 using approx 3.5gal R/O water total(6.5-7.0 PH @10-20ppm-TDS)

Sampled and tested soil:
Plant 1 results: PH 7.1, 250 (TDS P.P.M.)
Plant 2results: PH 7.3, 250 (TDS P.P.M.)
Plant 3 results: PH 7.0, 350 (TDS P.P.M.)
Plant 4 results: PH 7.4, 250 (TDS P.P.M.)
Plant 5 results: PH 7.2, 320 (TDS P.P.M.)
Plant 6 results: PH 7.0, 340 (TDS P.P.M.)

Well, i guess im on my own...

I went ahead and added 9tsp-Big Bloom and 6tsp-Tiger Bloom to 5gal res. (340ppm-TDS/5.9 PH, R/O water)

Any further insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There's no way that three teaspoons of Big Bloom alone applied to 2-3 gallons of water brings the tds over 2000ppm, no way. Tiger Bloom maybe, but not Big Bloom.

i premix my nutes in di water. test rez first to find inital ppm and ph. add nutes slowly until u get to about 1000 added, but never over 1400 total to avoid nute lock. buffer to pH 5.8

To wolverine97: Your right...I failed to mention that i had just flushed on 2/13, then transplanted from 1gal to 3gal pots (w/o pre-watering new soil). [FONT=&quot]Replenished res. With R/O water 5.95[/FONT][FONT=&quot]PH [/FONT][FONT=&quot] at 10 PPM (TDS) and added Fox Farm Big Bloom (3 TBSP.) and 3-5 drops of Superthrive. Final PH after adding nutes, 6.5 P.H. Final TDS 100 (PPM)[/FONT] When i tested the run-off & soil...the ppm's were too high. Then the leaf discoloration started to happen shortly after. The following week is when i posted my question in hopes of getting some pointers from someone familiar with my problem. Wanted to know more or less what caused the yellowing. **Does that make more sense?**
