I figured out my light is a strong one.
Spider Farmer Evo SF1000 with the LM301H EVO LED'S and Far Red LED's.
Feeding question.

That is a 100w light. I use something similar in the hlg 100 for veg.
Totally usable for flower, especially as a beginner, but you'll find 300+ to be standard for flowering with LED lights.

I don't think a 300w LED light will fit in my tent.
My tent is 24" x 24" x 56".

There isn’t a one fits all answer
It’s more like when the plant requires food than feeding on a schedule unless your using bottled nutes and are feeding via a chart even then you may want to feed less than the amount on the chart
if your in coir you probably want to feed daily
I haven’t tried hydro/dwc but it’s probably the same as coir to a point.
if your feeding with top dressing and the like you would more than lightly feed when the plants want it.
yeah even a 100 led can be intense and burn them if your to close.
for one plant a 100w will suffice it’s not a massive tent as you say
by the looks of your temps a adding more would be to hot for your tent as well.

Once a week then get different stuff for flowering want more phosphorus and another overall you should use at any stage is liquid seaweed/kelp spray all over leaves not buds add to soil for that. Every couple weeks.

Feeding is really dependent on the plant itself and what the soil is telling you. Get an EC meter and water with plane RO water check the run off PH and EC. once you know that you can start to adjust im using Promix HP and my run off i keep it right around 3 but this number could be way to strong for your plant.
Use what ever fert you want just just your EC if you end up getting a super high number in your run off you could be burning your plants. If your ph in soil is not between 5.8-7 then you need to adjust the water ph to help get it there you can also put buffers in your soil if you need too.
But generally no you are not going to feed every time you water. depending on the size of plant you could be watering once a day or once a week there are a lot of variables. I tried to feed every time and my plant wasn't consuming it fast enough and i started showing signs of N toxicity so I backed off and now I just do Feed, plain water, Feed, plain water etc

Am organic so ec and ppm play no part in my growing method as does ph-ing.. I use seaweed extract as well but only in veg and not as a foiler Spay you can add it directly to the soil. I used to use it in flower until I had a debate with uncle Ben back at overgrow. He explained it to me in detail something about auxins & cytokinins I can’t for the life of me remember basically it’s was something about seaweed telling the roots to grow when you want the plant to put it’s energy into flowering. Wish I had access to it rather than posting 1/2 of what I remember. seaweed has a lotta heavy metals as well so that is another reason to back off on it during flowering
