So it really depends on what grow medium you are using to grow in. If you use soil, dont feed until its been 2-4 weeks from your last transplant and the plants are looking a little hungry. The reason for this is the soil has nutrients in it and transplanting gives fresh nutes. Once you've gone 2-4 weeks since your last transplant the soil nutes will usually be used up. Once you start feeding nutes people tend to feed every other watering but it really depends on what your plants want. My buddy that grows in soil has done feed, water, repeat some grows and feed, water, water, repeat on other grows that didnt want as much food. You should also only water once the pots feel light. Lift the pots every day and once the weight is significantly lighter then its watering time. Dont water on a set schedule in soil as thats a sure fire way to over/under water. Also make sure you water with a ph around 6.5-6.8. If you grow in coco coir or rockwool, they are hydroponic medias. This means you want to keep them wet. I personally grow in coco and you want to feed nutes every watering after they sprout as coco/rockwool have no nutrition in them. I personally water 1-3 times a day depending on what my plants want, but as long as the media stays moist you should be good to water a little less if frequent watering is too much work. You also want to make sure to suplement with a calmag in hydro. With hydro media its a lot harder to over water and if the media does dry out it can cause problems with dry pockets in the media that can damage roots.

Yep like @jef79 said It depends a bit on what medium you use,choice of genetics,there Is even a big difference in watering between led and hps lighting. When your ladies are healthy and have a good growth rate the consume more water then when they endure stress But there is always 1 thing you can check..the plants themselves..if they turn a bit pale and your a light feeder you know you can up the feed..if they are starting to look dark green cut back the nutrients for a bit Hopefully this is of some use to u ✌️ Happy growing and stay safe 🌱

Hello.. Hope you are well.. In soil or coco the idea is to just give water ph6 whenever plants are transferred for 2/3wks as soil already has nutrition in.. I think if u heavy feeder then water in between feeds but if ur light feeder then feed most times.. Either way is ok i think.. Just try each way in wot suits ur regime n strains will b cool.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀
