Recommended ppm for all stages soil grown

OK so I read that the desired or recommended ppm for seedling stage is like 700-800 but that just seems like too much for me what are your recommendations for the stages for soil grown ? Right now I’m at 441 for seedlings. And when I say seedlings I mean they’re at their fifth node.
 
Don't go by PPM for soil, run 25% strength when they go into the pot. Raise to 33% after a week and raise a little each week.

Look for leaf tip burn and if you see it back off the nutes a little for a week or two.

Literally PPM will differ from plant to plant harvest to harvest.
 
ppm is better in my opinion and yes I would not run a fifth node seedling at 700-800 but if you are at 441 that is a very good starting place for the plants age. However you say soil so some soils are heavily amended so try measuring the ppm of your run off to make sure it needs the food. However, as mentioned if no tip burn keep upping the feeds by 100ppm weekly until tip burn and back off to the last weeks feeds. What soil?
