PPM too low?

What's up friends. I use r/o water with 30 ppm. After I add all my nutes the ppm is around 300 to 600 (around 1 - 2 ec I think, I like ppm) (the later stages of the cycle have a higher ppm unless it's flush time). Is this chill? I'm on my iPhone but when I get to my computer I'll throw up some pics if it will help so lemme know. Plants look good besides a cal mag issue from r/o (being corrected now). I use nutes at about %60 of what the nutrient calculator says (house & garden). The plants are looking good but the ppm just sounds so low to me now that I'm using r/o and I don't want any probs (I also can't really tell any ppm problems because of my cal mag issue). Also, how much do u water your hydroton, i water every 5 hours (day)? Thanks for the help bro's. Good luck!!

I tried Lucas and had issues starting using GH 3 part after that and have been having far more success. I am at 21.5 days 18/6 and my ppm is 280 @.5 conversion. I always keep them low, Less is more!

Hardly the place to challenge my growing techniques your gonna confuse the learner; Sorry backnine theres alot of this nonsense on here.
 
Oh for sure it's all good bro. House and garden rocks, I love it. I'm gonna throw some pics up now and show u my 5 ft moms and stuff. Everything is good just was iffy about that low ppm

IMG_1362.jpgIMG_1363.jpgIMG_1380.jpgIMG_1355.jpgnIMG_1394.jpgnah not challenging anything. just saying my nutes are fine, my only question was my low ppm. i pull 1-2 for every 4x4. veg plants are two and a half weeks (they have been topped twice, you can see the freshley topped ones) and are kinda limpy cause they were just sprayed with neem before this photo. moms are like 2 and a half months old with like 300 cuts taken and topped who knows how many times (there are six 10 gallon pots in that forest and a couple small plants for experiments). flower are 2 different trays like 2 weeks apart (i think the oldest ones in the pics are 6 weeks on a 65 day strain). and the close up bud was a day from being pulled
