Little advise on Nutes.

Hey guys. I just finished my first grow successfully. I've had a complete DIY set up.
I've been using some Nutes of a local garden shop.
I'm growing very light feeder sativa strain. Under full spectrum LED rated as 600w 200x3w, the actual consumption is unknown. I am happy with the results.

My Nutes for veg were 8-5-7 and my Nutes for flower were 4-4-9 with micro elements. I also use cal and separately mg. I am missing silica as additive. At end of flowering I went up to 700 PPM.
Anything above seem to burn them.

I've just put my ladies back to reveg for a second round. Do you believe getting a proper Nutes will give better results? And if so what Nutes would you recommend.

Thanks in advance!

You are a little isolated there arent you?That is clone strength..Def check on different suppliers.Envy kicks ass with only a two part system...Order seperate goodies from amazon.Always upgrade until you find what works..

I was considering GH flora 3 part but then i saw these PH perfect ones. Are they worth it at all?

That is clone strength..
I am aware that this is clone strength. This is the reason I needed advice at first place. I believe the higher NPK ratio, the more concentrated the product is. Which means the concentrate which is being released overtime is burning my ladies and that's why i cant boost it to the max.
Also the other reason is, I run DWC and I have lack of silica in the system and my plants cant build the huge stems I've been expecting.

I'm not familiar with these PH perfect ones. Are they worth it at all...
How are you measuring PPM? When I ran a dwc I vegged around 1200 to 1700 and I don't remember flowering PPM but I think it was lower but not 700 and I used guano and compost teas during flowering to boost growth...
