They look great but look a little hungry, or maybe some nutrient lockout.

Hungry yes. But may also be seeing some light stress. How close is your light?

Thank you I’m currently feeding the GH cocotek. My question so I was inform to focus on the EC and not to worry about the PPM. Currently on the schedule it states the EC should 2.0 and the ppm 1000-1200 however when I do the mix the EC is 1.7 but the ppm is 1140. When I add the extra nuts to get it up 2.0 the ppm increases to 1440. What should I do
 
Tagging brother @Bill284 he has lots of wisdom! He is a bit busy with his harvest. But he should be on sometime soon!

Good morning my friend.
Hope your having a nice day.
Ladies on a light schedule get a memory and at lights out they will relax their leaves and stop praying.
Usually when the lights come they start transpering and face the light to absorb energy.
Feeding them every day full strength nutrients at 5.8 ph to runoff always kept my girls happy.
Keep up the good work.
Take care.

Thank you I will lower the ph to 5.8 currently I have it at 6.1. Should I focus on the EC or the PPM according to the schedule it should be 2.0 with 1000-1200 ppm but I get 1.7 1125ppm so I add the nuts to get to 2.0EC but now the ppm 1450

Thank you so much

Your in early flower?
Looks like pistils in the pic?
If so follow the flowering schedule for your nutrients.
By the week.
Make sure you always put calmag in your plain water first then micro grow & bloom then lastly set ph to 5.8.
Feed every day keeping the coco wet at all times.
But no plain water.
Always nutrients according to the schedule.
What's the ppm of your plain water?

I use distilled

Ppm I find can be strain dependent.
But following the recommended volumes gives you a starting point.
See how she reacts then adjust if need be.
1200-1700 can be appropriate depending on week of flower & strain.

Those are two different numbers that represent the same thing. EC measures how much electricity can be passed through the solution in the res. That's the "electrical conductivity" piece and it's measured in small numbers up to about 2.5. At 2.5, there's a lot of chemicals in the water.

Once you know the electrical conductivity, you can convert that to an equivalent value to explain how many parts per million ("PPM") of total dissolved solids ("TDS"). One conversion is to give PPM on a 500 scale and you can also define it on a 700 scale. The two different scales represent the same EC levels but just express EC differently.

The conversion?
An EC of 1.0 is 500 PPM on the 500 scale and it's also 700PPM on the 700 scale.

In your situation, EC 2.0 is a good slug of nutes and that makes sense because your plants are hardy and mature. You report that your EC is 2 and your PPM is 1450 which tells me that your PPM is using the 700 scale because 1450/700=2.07≈2. If your meter was using the 500 scale, that would be an EC of almost 3 and your plants would be suffering.

EC or PPM?
EC is the universal description so you can never go wrong with just using the EC value. If you prefer to use PPM, make sure that you write whether it's the 500 scale or the 700 scale. Safest way, though is EC.

Thank you the scale currently using is 700.
