Should I go up?

I have 4 plants in a RDWC under a 400w hps, nova grow nutes. 20 gallons.
My question is @ early to mid growth, how high should my PPMs be? Took a minute to get them to eat, but I have it balanced with PPM's coming down fast. My concern is hitting the bottom to quickly. I'm @ 400. The bottom is right below 300.
