Feed with every watering. Let your plants tell you what they need - watch them they will tell you. How much to water depends on pot size. I usually roll with 3.5 gallon pots. They get a gallon of water and food when it's time for their feeding and watering. And no, don't ever up the strength when feeding. Always give them the same amount, unless they are having problems. And if they are having problems, check all the variables before adding more nutes. Remember, this plant is a survivor, it will do ok without being "overdosed" with nutes. The organic soil you have them in will work wonders as well.

Watch your waters PH, it will drop when you add nutes.

good stuff, yes, i been battleing PH since day one, no matter how long i let the tap water stand its always at around 8, i added nutes to the water and seen them drop to 6, im more than happy with that alone...as for watering, i know my way around house plants and general gardening, so i usually let the plant dictate when to water, as most nubes would do they try to do too much, i killed many plants in my day from over watering and root rot and such, thanks again
