These days horticultural soil are well oxygenated enough to be watered daily, but it’s better to follow plants need by lifting the pots and water again when they aren’t heavy anymore. When you use nutrients, the minerals turns into salt (NaCl, KCl, ...) by crystallization after a while when they’re not used by the plant. Adding nutrients everyday must be done wisely, using an EC meter and very low amounts of ppm’s, if you don’t have the experience in mineralogy it will lead you to over feeding where you will diagnose symptoms like tips of the leaves starting to become clear and burned. I would suggest you to get an EC meter to track and control your plants nutrition.

I don't always feed with every watering in soil. Find that I get salt build up when I just feed with every water.

You have some drooping / wilting, however also some dark green shiny leafs. This means also a bit heavy on the nitrogen. So a flush might not be a bad idea!

Ok so your pots are not too big, So you want to water the first day with feeds (maybe only half to 3/4 ltr per plant), let the soil dry again (some let the plants even ask for water and only give again when drooping) so after 2 or 3 days in your case, depending on temp and humidty, airflow etc. you do another feed. Again letting it dry (top inch dry to touch), under here only moist. You can choose (especcially if you have saltbuildup on top of the soil), to do a flush with just PH water. It depends how rich the soilmix was that you started with... Good Luck!!!
