Start of week 4 of flower in fox farm ocean forest soil. Haven't gave her anything but water and Cal mag since she she broke though the dirt. I gave her some molasses and water two times since she began. Ppm runoff started out at around 1800 first watering but it just keeps going up every watering, the ppm runoff was around 2400 last watering. I don't understand why it keeps going up with no nutes being added. Is the okay or should I do something?? Plant looks great btw.

As organic nutrients break down, the PPM goes up
As long as they look well, I wouldnt worry yet. Its easy to get anxious and feel like we need to do something but, i.m.o just wait. Also giving your plant molasses doesn't do anything for the plant itself, it feeds the microbes in the soil. But, if you put in too much your soil can become anaerobic, which means you have more bad bacteria than good which is a result of not enough oxygen in the soil. The true goal in growing is to feed your soil and the plant will take care of itself. Use the plant as a meter (so to speak) on what the soil needs or doesn't.
