Feeding Chart(s) Question!

Fellow Farmers,

I am sure this question has been asked before so forgive me if it has. All feeding charts tell you to use a certain amount of their product each week. Lets use Humboldt Soil for example, they say "GROW WEEK 4- Humboldt Grow 4ml, Humboldt Micro 4ml, Humboldt Bloom 4ml. Here is my question, can I water every time using these products OR should they only be used once per week?

On my first grow I used the Botanicare Pro line products every time I watered, going by the recommended dosage on the bottle with no ill effects. Being a rookie I didn't even think about it and still really don't know the answer, so I guess I'm still a rookie...

Any experienced user advice would be much appreciated, especially Humboldt soil growers. Thanks in advance!!

I've always watered my plants, with my nutrients mixed in the water. I do throw in a plain watering near the switch....don't ask me why, i have no reason....and then nothing but plain water in the final two weeks.

i would think just once a week. you might want to just contact the company themselves with any particular question you may have. you would be suprised how good some of these companies customer service is. ive contacted many companies with questions about their products either by phone or e-mail, fox farm,aurora innovations,advanced nutrients,maxicrop and many others. every time i seek info about a specific product i try to go the source. you would never think it but their is usually someone willing to help on the other end.

I am a newb too. I have been nuting every 4-5 days on fox farms no flush, but just did my first flush in 2nd week of flower.
Keep a log of nutes and watering for future reference.
I prefer to be safe and not burn my plants with nutes but for some reason my blue dream just absorb everything i give them.
Keep an eye out for yellow leaves near the bottom (lack of nitrogen)
and too blue tops (too much nitro)
but am on fox farms feeding schedule with jsut big bloom and tiger bloom no cha ching or open sesame.

from what i also understand is your pots have to match your soil bro. I have 4 foot plants in 5 gallon buckets, they take 4 -5 days to dry out.
It lets roots get wet then dry nice.match your plant to your pot, no pun intended
