The best thing for you when trying out new nutes is to use half strength or even 1/4 strength. Pay attention to your plants and see how they react. If you burn them you know that it is too much or from the color of the burn you can tell your problem.

There is no real answer here..... you will find people that tell you to feed, water, water and then repeat and then the next post will say "BS" "You need to feed, water, feed and then repeat. The point I am trying to make is follow the directions on the bottle and if you feel uneasy about that then just go half strength.

Learn the science and the hobby becomes real fun! Good luck man!

i do once every 3 waterings myself approx, if your going to do it more you need to watch very closely for the leaf tips starting to burn and the leaves getting dark green, thats a sign your plant has as much as it can possibley take and adding more would hurt it. i could probably frrd every other water since i do a miniflush almost everytime i water. like someone said above drainage is very important. look up riddleme's thread on his i make it rain technique, i dont fuck with my ph on purpose like he does, its never seemed to help anything, i was noticing some of the same things riddleme was saying about giving a heavy watering each time and it made sense of why it seemed my plants did so much better, ive tried his fuck up ph on purpose idea and have had nothing but problems from it, no benefits compared to the method i use imo. he explains it better than i do, go check his thread out.
