it truely depends on how much you water or for outside how much it rains, fertilizers get washed out every few waterings before you replace them, i would say its good to fertalize every 5 or 6 waterings.

Less is more when feeding alot of the times, giving them more than they can handle just makes it harder for them to uptake the amount they have already available. That stuff doesnt look good at all. the slow dissolving shit like that just makes nutrient lockouts all the more likely and make keeping the ph in control nearly impossible, if you were to get a nutrient lockout, which you probally will from that stuff messing up your ph, you will have a huge problem getting it back in check with those time-dissolved nutes still in there cuz they will keep messing the ph up on you, over and over again.
 
holly shit .. good to know .. then ive been overfeeding ! but there taken it like champs . i think ill slow it down a bit to make them more happy
 
I am currently Growing in potting mix but under a 400 WATT HPS Light i know i asked in a out door thread but i can find a soil Forum

ive been making the 2 scoops per 10 litres of awater and then ph ing the water too 5.9 i was told its better to do it like that so the plant takes up the nute
