probably more like 8-10 ... lol, and I add Earth Juice Bloom 0-3-0 at about double the rec. dose. But I do go back about fifteen to twenty mintues later and give it another serving of fresh pure clean 6.8 Ph water that is half the amount of what was fed to it too. Example: I mix two gallons of water with the nutes, then spread it out between the three largest plants at about 9-11 am, then about 20 mins- 1/2 hour later I go back and spread 1 gallon of the PH'ed water out between the three plants.... and I give them each about 2 more gallons around 2:30 - 4:00 pm depending on how they look... hope that helps... but I just pour strait from the nute bottle into the watering can too... so its like I said, I just watch the plants and the way they grow to see what they need, and when they have more than they need of some things... I build up to larger feedings over a week and a half, then a couple heavy feedings, and a good flush every two to three weeks. On days that I feed them I also go in at about 6-7 am and give them a good couple gallons each strait from the hose. On days I don't feed I usually water twice... a good 3 or 4 gallons in the morning, and another two or three in the mid afternoon (about 1-3 pm). I test the PH and PPM of the run off water on the days I do heavy feedings, and the waterings in between... this tells me how much lemon juice to add to the water when I flush (because the PH is always high for some reason), and I usually give them a little superthrive just after a flush, transplant, and when I first start giving them nutes, I also give them good amounts of B1 during the vegetative stage... hope that helps explain it a bit better...
