It's better to feed your plant every time and let the soil dry a bit between two. When watering, you push the remaining used water and liquid nutrients to the bottom of the bucket, to drain out. So, if you alternate nutrients and pure water, it's may lead to instability because the plants may starve a bit each time you only use water. Or you can go to the Super Soil team, where you add low dissolving nutrients, amendments and bacteria directly into your soil (or buy ready-to-use one) before putting a seed on or transplanting. So you only need water and, some times booster and bacteria.

How long is a piece of string? Without knowing which growing technique you are referring to, answers with any accuracy are incredibly hard to give. Soil? Hydro? Coir? DWC? Indoor? Outdoor? They all have different needs, hence the string comment. Then plant size, strain, temps and the plants actual requirements, will all cause different water and feeding schedules. Growing outdoors in soil that I blended myself, I may not need to feed for 6+ weeks and might need to water twice a week or twice a day, depending on plant size and summer temperatures. There are really no hard and fast rules when it comes to watering and feeding, unless you are growing hydroponically or in a DWC system, whereby the plants have a constant source of water and nutrients. Remember too, under watering or under feeding is very simple to correct. Over feeding and having to rescue burnt plants is incredibly difficult to remedy. Hope this (vaguely) helps,..... Organoman.

BioBizz recommend to feed every single time and their reasoning is that it creates stability in the grow. That said, they're a nutrient company with an investment in selling as much of their nutrients as possible. It's not a terrible idea to go water > feed > water > feed to start and watch how your plant responds. If you need to add more nutrients, step it up, less, then cut it down. Genuinely, I know it's annoying to hear, but the answer is "it depends". There are so many variables it's impossible to really give a one solution fits all answer, you need to watch the plant and she'll tell you what she needs. The best that can really be said is that as a rule of thumb, you can start by alternating feeding between plain water and nutrients and tailor from there, it would be fine for the plant and be a good balance between initial nutrition and being cost effective. I say this assuming you're growing in soil.

In soil? feed, water, water, water, feed. Lol Really it's all depends on what growing medium you use.. Your nutrients.. Even using extra Microbes and bacteria there should have considerations about timing and medium saturation.. Soil comes with nutrients in it and generally I lean towards people learning from growing rather then just following some set schedule or parameters of my own design or opinions. Live a little don't be afraid to make mistakes.. Anyone can do what someone else is doing and have success if you wanna push the envelope and learn.. Do things different and learn, forge your own path and don't forget to love Growing.. It's awesome :).

Generally doing something like feed once or twice a week, every 2 waterings. But it depends on the dosage, what medium you're using, the brand, the type of nutrient, the plants health. Etc. But generally feed, water, feed, feed.
