Question about liquid nutrient solution's PPM??

Ello shroomerites I'm wondering if i can mesure a nutrient solution like lets say grain water with a ppm meter and determine approximately the amount of "nutes" in the water? And if so what would be the "optimal" range? Would it be also species specific?
I'm wondering because i make granola bars and maybe i could use some of this for cultivation..
..I want a certain precision in my randomness

Ok so after some research online i found one sentence that have to do with ppm.. I meant tds/ppm.. sorry didnt specified
"All of your beneficial fungi and bacteria go dormant after about 1.6 EC or 800 ppm/TDS."
From this website : https://www.maximumyield.com/how-to-gain-control-of-your-gardens-ph-ppm-and-ec-levels/2/17578
Its not really answering but i will start looking in this direction.
I just made some Potato Dextrose Yeast Agar And before adding the agar i took this reading

What i want to know really is just how much it need to be saturated.. Does it make sense?

Tds total dissolved solids. For fish tanks you want low tds. Standard treated water is like 100ppm for fishtank. I dont know that tds would indicate nutrients. I guess it would include that. They say over 500ppm for fish is really bad.

I dont really want to calculate nutrients i want to know how much dense the solution is acceptable for growing mycelium in.. My fkn english is rusted

Specific gravity would be a better measure than TDS for LC/agar stuff. Since we use starchy/sugary growing media
