PPM Question

Ok so I'm pretty sure I found I have a MG def...

I added a Tablespoon of epsom salt to my res which has about 12-13 gallons in it currently. My PPMs were at 550 and shot up to 720+ from just a tablespoon which seems high for 2 week old plants.

So while looking at recommended PPMs/age charts I saw that Fox Farm recommends a PPM of 1120-1260 at 2 weeks old on their hydro schedule?!
Maybe I just diluted the nutes too much in my RO water and that caused the deficiency perhaps?
Everything I've read said to hang around 200-400 PPMs week 1 then gradually increase to about 1200-1400+(depending on plant response) by peak flower.

Hitting almost 800 in week 2 may burn/lockout my plants then right?

Should I just leave it then since I'm way below their recommendation or dilute it some to drop the PPMs a little or just flush out the whole res and start at square one?

Thanks!!!
