Don't bother with runoff if you're growing in soil. It's really only useful in hydro and soilless growing, and even then it's not vital information, just one piece of a puzzle.
That being said your plants look healthy, don't sweat numbers. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Your plants look fine. No sign of tip burn, not dark green, just a nice healthy green color. Nothing wrong with them they look healthy. Leave them alone.
Too often people start checking runoff, panic when the numbers are not what they think they should be and start doing things even though their plants are healthy without any signs of issues. I've seen many good grows go downhill because of the grower trying to adjust runoff values because they think the ppm's or pH is off based on the runoff. Flushing tons of water through or dumping high or low pH solutions trying to get the runoff to where they want it usually end up doing more harm than good.
Your plants look good. Let them grow.

So it’s safe to start adding my Flower nutes? I’m switching in about 2 weeks to 12/12

Stay with what you are doing till you flip then add small increments of flower nutrients less is better in soil to avoid lockout

Why would you add flower nutes now? Slow down. Don't be in a hurry to start dumping stuff on your plants. They're healthy now. Keep them that way. They don't need anymore nutrients right now. Happy Frog is a pretty rich soil and you mixed in some additional dry nutrients. You shouldn't need to feed anything for weeks.

Well this past week I’ve done 3 reg Ph water feeds. Haven’t given any nutes this week due to the high ppm

So just stick with the PH water?

That is why i use down to earth amendments. No need for liquid nutes.

I would. You already added nutrients with the Down To Earth All Purpose. That's still adding nutrients everytime you water.

I’m going to switch to dry nutes once I use up all my GH nutes.

Yeah but are they gonna tastes great and not burn your throat due to all the nutes left?

Why would left over nutes in the soil effect the smoke?

It doesn't work that way. But I'll leave that subject out of your thread.

I thought that’s why you flush before harvest

I figured that’s why you flush to get all that stuff out for a smoother smoke
