@The_Bearded_Grower, yes, but more than just the blanket answer regarding TDS which measures how much salt is in the water, it is more important to be within ideal ranges of every element. At higher concentrations of everything, the user is much more likely to encounter lockouts which always express themselves as deficiencies, so instead of correcting the feed to account for giving too much of "A", the user is ramping up the "B" to account for a non-existent deficiency.
Here is a tutorial I made about creating your own nutrient solution so to better understand the concentration of any one element. My personal aim as a grower is to produce absolutely perfect leaves and branches. I believe I am about 95% there. When I mix my own personal custom regimen, it settles to about 750 TDS, but more importantly, I guarantee the range of every element in my feed. I don't want to overdrive the plants, I just give them what they need for each growth stage and they do all of the magic.
