Adjusting nutes in rdwc system

I'm currently running a pair of shallow water culture plants sharing the same 30L res. I start off with some nominal strength like 20ml each of Micro and Grow and 15ml Bloom. After a couple of weeks I'll bring the strength up to around 1500ppm and that stays there till she's starting to flip. if ppm drops below 1000 then I'll at more nutes to the res in the same ratio to bring it back up a bit. top up with plain water as needed.

After she is flipping I do my first res change using the new ratio of 60ml micro 40ml grow and 120ml bloom, and that would last another 4 weeks topping up with plain water as needed. Adding more nutes in the same ratio if the ppm starts to drop too much.

I don't believe it's worth obsessing over micro adjustments but that is just my take that works for me.

This is the type of info I've been looking for, albeit liters instead of gallons. Thanks man!
