I’m the opposite. I water once or twice between each feed.

so you would water 4 times a week in total?

so would you just split a whole weeks worth of nutrients between two waters? if thats makes sense

You should only water based each plants wet/dry cycle to determine when to.
Not by a set number per week.
Autos require simple methods ( for about 90 days of life average ).
Feed , water . Feed , water .... if Using nutes and at more reserved levels than photos. Autos can be overfed too easily.
Or if running a good soil like FFOF ..... First 5-6 weeks ( ph water only ) , week 6 topdress more soil water in , then water only to finish line .
Pretty god damn simple right ?

There’s really no such thing as a weeks worth of nutrients. You aren’t supposed to feed constantly unless you are growing in coco or hydro. I feed basically once a week. When I feed, I mix the nutrients at half the recommended nutrient solution to water ratio, and feed the plants until I get some runoff. Many growers feed way too much and a lot of the issues growers have are a result of over feeding.

This.
I tried light feedings every time but I always had build up. I switched to water at least once and if my run off ppm is still high then twice.
