Feeding schedule during flowering...E&G

Just wondering what you all think about this topic. I was currently feeding 6 times a day during vegging--only when the lights were on. Now that I am going 12-12, what schedule is right and proper? I am using General Hydroponics nutrients on a transition formula from aggressive growth.

Thanks in advance for the tips... =)

Tough to answer without more details, but the important thing is that the medium/roots not dry out. What's your medium? Rockwool? What size? Or coco or something like that? In what size pot? What is the climate like where you are? Is it very dry or not? That would affect your feeding schedule. Is it very warm/hot? That would, also...

I used to feed 6" rockwool 4 times a day, at 6 am&pm and 12 am&pm. That was in flowering; in veg, they rarely to never needed watering more than once or twice a day. It was very dry where I lived, and at high elevation so it rarely got very hot.

Whether the lites are on or not should make no difference; the important thing here is to KEEP THE MEDIUM WET/DAMP. As long as that's done, the plants will take what they need from your nutes, which are nestled snugly in your medium, when they need it.

That's what I think, anyway.
 
I have a basement grow--temperature is not an issue. Hydroton around small rockwool cubes in the normal pot for the ebb and grow system. I have 3 grow lights--a 400W, 600W and a 1000W. I just don't want to over do it. =) The plants (12--a mixture of packi kush and skunk) for the most part are around 2.5 to 3 ft tall. Should be an excellent harvest if I flower correctly...
