If your medium has food in it, feed lightly, or more sporadically. If your medium has no food in it, feed every time you water. Water when it’s dry.

I feed once a week and usually have to water twice by the time the plant is of a size to flower. Usually about 1.5 gallons to 2 at a time. However, since the week is not properly divisible by three, the 2nd watering, right before the next feed, will be the lesser of the amounts.

Once you get this you got it.
Totally depends on what type of grow you’re doing. What is your medium and will you be feeding synthetic or organic??
When I started, I used soil and was intent on feeding synthetic bottled nutes.
I ended up w/ 15 bottles of this and that, with plants that did OK, but hardly worthy of a magazine cover.
My luck changed when I decided to move to an organic grow. I amend my medium at the start and only “feed” a couple more times until harvest. I simply water when needed and sprinkle some more dry organic fertilizer on top 2-3 times over the course of the grow.
Works for me.

And the difference between the two processes for you? I use advanced nutrients and all these bottles can be aggravating. What do you use and are you aware of a similar process for hydro? Thank you in advance
Use something like Jacks Fertilizer. It's 3 powders. Mix them once or twice per week and use it to make a dtw auto irrigated setup.
Can't get simpler.
