You have two problems. Money is tight and you don't know what you are doing. It's not a great combination. If you have the money to buy ready made nutes, you dont have to know much about what goes in them or why. Just buy and apply. But if you are broke and want to DIY, you have to know something about how it works. I suggest you do some reading on soil and nutrients. Education is a powerful weapon against poverty.

Basically the way I see PPM and soil is this..

If you consistantly overwater and don't have good drainage, then yes having too high of a PPM you'll get salt lock...
If you have light airy soil, and keep your watering to the correct amounts, and your soil isn't craptastically full of nutrients already, then yeah you can feed it like hydro :D

wrong. i have two problems. money is tight and ive never done this before. ive done my reading, trust me. but theres a difference between reading something and putting it into action. bought some 15-30-15 and applied a 1/4 str feeding today. transplant to a bigger pot on monday/tuesday when the soil dries out, hopefully shell pick back up.

BING...dude saying 536ppm is too high LOL...jesus man then I guess I'm frying my plants with the 1200ppm i'm shoving down in the soil at the moment...oh wait no I'm not...its working great :D

The 2-7-7 shultz cactus food should say it includes 7 micronutrients...been working great for me...and when i said 10-10-10 i meant fertilizer....there are some cheap water soluble granules at walmart that have either a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 rating...if you've got good soil to start with you shouldn't need anything for veg...and when you start getting into flowering using the shultz feed + the 10-10-10 is a goodish ratio of nutrients and cheap for flowering :)

shes about 1 week into flowering. i picked up some plant-prod ultimate 15-30-15 + micro nutrients. i have a pretty decent soil (50% MG potting mix, 35% sphagnum peat, 15% pearlite)

15-30-15 should be applyed at a ratio of 2.5ml per gal. as a soil drench.
