Yo carlin sorry to hear your dead but if your still growing right on! You should really invest in a tds meter ( check ebay they are cheap there) that is way better than just guestamating your total ppm. Your max ppm varys by strain and how long into flowering the plants are. I would say to be safe, keep it at 1800ppm and then take it up about 100 ppm a week until you notice any sort of stress or deficiantcy( cant spell sorry) I havent used floranova before so cant tell you with that. If you switch to Advanced nutes i would say to try and take it to 2200ppm as i can do that with most strains problem free. Good luck brother hope i helped.

your fan leaves will feel dry but no worries this is normal you should trim the lower 1/3 of the plant as this is worthless. You dont need to cut back that far on nutes 3/4 strength should be safe. What kind of grow medium are you using .... along with what sorta system you got,......? The more ou explain your set up the more i can help you !

I would say to keep your nutes way under 1800, especially to start--I don't grow any strains that I can take above 1200 without nute burn.
