For a bluff that size, your villain only has to fold 1/3 of the time to make it profitable. But by definition, a weak-tight player will fold at least 2/3 of flops (and some will play even tighter), making the play very +EV against the right opponent.
In this situation, the villain is going to fold to any reasonable cbet with most of their hands, so make your cbet just large enough to be believable by the villain -- which I usually find to be 1/2 pot.
Yah this is good and real important for micro limits. We don't need to balance our range vs most villains so we can simply c bet the minimum amount that enables us to get folds from his air or whatever weak hands he's folding on the flop, and bet more with our strong hands for value since a lot of the time these differecnes in bet sizes wont afffect his continuing range.
The same can be applied not just for c-bets but for bets later in the hand, no sense in betting pot when 2/3rds will achieve the same amount of folds, although, since you're usually trying to fold out a range with more stronger hands in it, you need to make sure you aren't offering irresistable odds to a station.
