I recently switched from a GH Ecogrower top feed Deep Water Culture system to a Current Culture Under Current Solo Pro without the top feed.
I had been getting severe nute burn gold spots on leaves in late flower, even when using EC=0.7, or ppm=350 on the 500 scale.

There is an astounding difference between nute recommendations between these two companies.
Not only does Current Culture (https://cch2o.com/cultured-solutions-feeding-schedule/) recommend a MUCH lower ppm than GH (http://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-REC_03216am.pdf), but they also recommend far less phosphorous than GH.

Here are the PPMs recommended by each for 8 weeks of flower, GH average values listed first:
1100-210, 1125-250, 1150-300, 1200-325, 1200-350, 1225-300, 1150-225, 950-200
The GH ppm recommendations are about 4 times as great as the Current Culture recommendations.
The same pattern also holds for veg, where GH recommends 5 times the ppm as CC, which averages about 110.
My last grow using ecogrower had some huge plants, including an almost 6 ft mephisto sour bubbly, while never exceeding 350 ppm.

My tentative opinion is that GH and most other nute makers recommend too much nutes to sell more nutes, and that CC's 350 ppm max during flower, and max 160 during veg, is correct for their DWC.
It's likely that DWC is so powerful, that the nutes are more efficiently used than expected.
But I won't know til I try the CC recommendations for a complete grow.
