Guides can be a good starting point for new growers, but what is needed is to learn to read your plants for signs of over or under feeding, and then adjust nutrient strength accordingly.  That's when an EC or PPM meter comes in handy, as it allows you to accurately measure the strength of the feed to match what you know the plants need, and that leads to much happier plants that perform better.  At that point, PPM or EC,  doesn't matter which as you know what number you are looking for, it's only the reliability of your meter you need to worry about.

 

Ignore manufacturer directions as they are usually way too strong, start low strength and steadily build it up, and as soon as you see signs of nute burn on the leaf tips you know it's too strong, so back it off a bit.  Learn to predict the stages that the plants need more or less food, and combine it with this sort of approach, and even an idiot like me can do alright.
