PPM or TDS newbie question

I'm little confuse of those. I heard people say ppm should be at desire range. Let say week 1 at max 400 ppm. Does it mean my nutrient solution always at that range for whole week or every time a water that ppm range. I grow in soil and water plant 2/week. 2×400=800 ppm/week.Thank you

are you feeding every watering? With soil it works differently, you feed only every few waterings, say water-water-feed-water-water-feed. What fertilizer and soil are you using? Most ferts are mix and go no need to worry about ppm, that's mainly a concern of hydroponic growers

I do feed, water, feed with GH 3 parts and bcuzz root. Promix hp with nothing added. As you say i should do 2 water for each feeding and no need to check for ppm.Am i right

you'll find out as you go, every situation is different, if you aren't having problems with that feed schedule stick with it. If you have multiple plants you can play around with the feed and see if you find a better outcome. I'm not a soil grower but I'm fairly certain ppm isn't necessary to know.

Thank you so much for your help
