I have a firm belief that you should not mix nutes when you're high or have had a few drinks. Well this evening I broke both. 
An old friend stopped by and I made a batch of margaritas and rolled up a joint. 
After my 4th margarita (not sure how many hits I had) I remembered I was out of nutrient solution and needed to make a new batch for tonight's watering. It's a good thing I stopped at 4 margaritas. I can maintain normalcy when high but alcohol is uncontrollable.
I made up a new gallon batch of @Prescription Blend Veg formula but the final ppm was about 50 ppm too low. Now I am pretty sure I measured right but decided to add an additional .5 ml additional of Core A and Core B to bring the nute ppm to 500. This time I also added 7 ml of Terpinator to the 1 gallon batch.
I also planned to measure the EC of the run off water tonight. With Coco you can build up excess salts from the nutrient's if you don't have sufficient runoff. This is why I measure to make sure I get around 20% runoff. But what is also important is to measure the EC of the runoff water. Ideally you should have <200 ppm additional to the runoff water from your base solution ppm. My base is 650 (500 net when subtracting 150 base from tap water). My runoff needs to be under 850 ppms. If its higher I may have too much salt building up.
When measuring, # 1, 2 and 4 came out near perfect but #3 was 350 ppms the over base (150 too high). To lower the EC, I added an additional 60 ml of solution to #3 to produce more runoff. The final reading was around 750 ppms so hopefully all is well.
Well back to my margaritas and
