Like I said, it's complicated so the short answer is...it depends.
Total ppm isn't as important as the amount of each nutrient and the ratios that they're found in.
If you're using RO or water that's nearly 0 just use the total ppm. (We'll call RO 0 ppm)
If you're using tap (Let's say 200 ppm)
If the feeding schedule that you're using suggests 800 ppm, that's minus the ppm of the water. (You added 800 to the 200 ppm water for a total of 1000 ppm)
So what's the difference between RO and tap? Whatever is in your water and that varies greatly. It could be good stuff you need or bad stuff you don't. 200 ppm of chlorine isn't going to help your grow.
If you're shooting for say 900 ppm of nutrients based on a formula on the bottle or on the web then I would add 900 to whatever the water is.
PPM is a guide not an exact nutrient formula. A good formula would have certain ratios of the desired nutrients (NPK, etc). For example, I like to use the Lucas Formula (or a modified version of it depending on needs) but ask a dozen people what their ppm is in their Lucas filled res and you'll get a dozen answers. The Lucas formula doesn't say what total ppm you want it's says how much (in ml/gallon) of each thing to add. In the case of Lucas he wrote the formula to use GH Flora 3-part series of nutrients but only the bloom and micro, not the grow. 8ml/gal micro + 16ml bloom + RO. The result is a profile that you can plug into a nutrient calculator to see about how much of each nutrient you have.
Another grower named Mel Frank proposed that you need a certain ratio (in ppm) of desired nutrients but you can look up his work and the Lucas formula for more details. Of course, Lucas and Mel were talking about cannabis not cucumbers so YMMV...
If you really want to use your tap instead of RO; get your water profile and plug the data into a nutrient calculator so you know how much of what you have and subtract that from what you want the levels to be. If you want to use tap water, adjust the Lucas formula. Maybe you'll need a little less bloom or micro, for example. If you're shooting for a certain amount of calcium, for example, and your water has none and your nutrients doesn't have enough, you may need to add something else to raise it up. If your tap water has more than enough calcium you may need to use a different nutrient that has less so your total ratios (not total ppm) are good. You can't just blindly add 600 ppm nutrients to 200 ppm tap water and expect that the ratios will be right unless you know what's in your tap water.
Yet another reason, for me, to use RO water. The PPM meter doesn't care what particles it finds; it just counts them so a total ppm can be misleading. RO is less confusing and good nutrients should have all of the micro nutrients but if it doesn't that means adding a little cal mag (etc) might be needed. There are nutrient calculators that you can type in all of the data like how much of what is in bottle X,Y or Z if you wanted to see what adding A, B or C amount of cal mag (or tap water) to your specific nutrients would do to the whole profile.
Hope that helps...
