So I have a target ec of 2.7
A little over a week ago I had ec runoff showing 4.3 so I flushed with Athena cleanse, got it down to 1.3 or so . I water every morning and check runoff , my ec keeps going up 1.0 point or even 4.5 on some plants each day I check , what are some ways I can fix this? Feeding half strength doesn’t seem to do a thing. My plants look good but like I said I’m in 70/30 coco

I'd rinse with florakleen or clearex to reset the cec. Why is your target ec so high? How much light is on them? What stage of growth? Co2 enrichment?
Is florakeen same as cleanse? (Hypochlorus acid) I run Athena blended and my ec is higher because well the plants are wanting it, whenever I cut my nutes down they show deficiencies even in veg I have a high ec because of the same fact, no added co2 I’m curious how much it costs to run and refill tanks , I’m in week 5 and week 3 of flower in 5 gal pots watering once a day …
