DWC PPM First feed

I used rainwater with ppm of 15-18 and mixed 8 gallons with 18 ml of GHE Bloom, Gro and Micro with 4 ml of CalMag. Both buckets have new PPM of 350-390. Is that too aggressive for day 9? Or can I push more? New to DWC and growing and hoping for some applied knowledge. Thanks

Hey bro! 👋😇 Rainwater in DWC? Dude, are you sure you didn't skimp too much on the base - the water? Are you sure it's free of any unwanted organic life? Because that could become a problem in DWC. You could water soil or even coco with rainwater, but this is DWC, the roots need to be in sterile cleanliness! Did you check that water? It doesn't bloom quickly? I don't know what to advise here, bro! If you have indica - up to 400ppm in the first week... if sativa - up to 350ppm in the first week... Once you grow 3 pairs of leaves, you can go up to 600ppm and up to 500ppm (indica or sativa). PPM with a factor of 0.5! That's important! 😇👆 Good luck, buddy! 😇✊

Thanks @Bloombuster . I have two indicas running so my PPM sounds like they should be good being between 350-390. I ran water quality checks on the rainwater and adjusted pH to make it the appropriate 6.1 for the bucket. I figure if folks use tap water with fluoride and chlorine additives..... rain water would be just fine?

Thank God you went with mineral nutrients instead of organic ones! 😇👌 Some people have already made an organic "mix" in DWC here 😱
