For me and in my very new to this opinion,
for germination of the seed and for saoking the RW cubes ive used a very very small measurement of ph-, as my buckets and medium were all new i felt it prudent to prove all my equipment, my thought process is that if my seeds crack im pushing forwards with 12/12 any way so im starting of with a minute nute mix, then when relevant nodes show i will be increasing nute levels to 5% then 10%, once im at a specific growth level i will water change and increase nute level to 25% then 50% etc etc, im not going to get to full level nute solution until ive cloned a mother, moreover i have 2 differing strains in 2 seperate buckets but both running from the same res so im looking at general patterns of growth and recording how they react to the changing levels of nutritional feeds, speaking to some well established hydro growers im reliably informed that the levels stated on some products are more about quantity usage in mass production so im trying to be very careful with the amounts im using, i believe it to be easier to add nutes if they need them than try and clean up the damage caused by over feeding at such young ages.
This is obviously my own theory and im sure that someone will be giving me a straightener any way.
maybe im confused but that post has the exact problem every other post ive ever read has, you gave a bunch of percentages, but of what? When you give % there has to be some kind of a baseline. Lets use your 5% as an example... is that 5% of the nute manufacture recommends? do you have a given nute ratio and ppm that is "100%" and your other figures come from that? Are you just going purely off trial and error from a random base number?
This is my issue, a percent is meaning less without the rest of the calculations.
