Yes but when a feeding schedule tells me to have a nutrient ppm of 300 do you add 300 or have a 300ppm total?

Two things;
first off, i noticed that this thread has over 1k views; either the 5/0 is on the hunt, or people are very interested but have nothing to say
second; what wattage HPS should i use given the current setup i have. I currently have a 90w, 250w, and 400w HPS setupi can use; but considering im only growing one plant in a smaller space; what would be ideal choice?

Finally an update everyone:
Day 19/20
Well i had a slight speed bump earlier this week, came in to see the beginnings of what looked like a slight nute burn. So I checked ppm and it was at 500 flat; i figured that was okay but i still pumped out quarter of the res and filled the rest with pHed RO water. PPM came to 312 so i left it as it was. The next day i came in and it seemed the plant was now having another problem; looked as if she was having nitrogen deficiency. After checking ppm on the water i was still around 300 so i knew the only thing left was the pH. Surely enough somehow the pH managed to raise up to 7.5 and was causing a slight nutrient lockout as a result. So after all that and putting the pH back down to 6.0 +-.25 everything seems to be okay and the new leaf sets are now back to being darker green with no signs of nute burn.
and of course; here are the pictures for you lazy people who don't like to read all my nonsense : P
On a side note, sorry for the crap picture angles; couldn't see what i was doing without the grow lights on
On a further side note, i can be a few inches away from the leaves now and smell the delicious "skunk" odor everyone raves about

Check out that link and you might be convinced to put up the 400

sorry for being away for such a long time everyone, been dealing with some private matters.
and Marlowe, im actually going to keep the 250 on the entire grow; light was only 8 inches away and i was getting some light burn so i moved it up to about 12 inches away; one problem i may see in the future is that ill run out of room vertically because the waterfarm takes a good 2 feet up right there alone. It may simply just be the reflector i have on the system is magnifying the light too much in one particular area.
