different nutrient levels for certain plants

I had started some new plants in rockwool cubes. Beans, Peppers, Squash, Swiss Chard and Basil. I started them off with just water and then after the first true leaves appeared I added nutes to 300TDS. I bumped them up to 650 and then eventually to 1000. The Beans, Squash and Peppers are doing great but the chard is just kind of there and the stems are weak, The basil totally died off.

I guess that the basil and chard cant handle high nutrient levels.

whats your experience with this? suggestions?
