Well there really is no standard... everybody has an opinion just like everything... I personally just do a lift check to see when they need watering but I never let them get too dry. Every other watering I just use plain PH water so its like 3 to 4 feedings per week. The bigger they get... the more frequent they get nutes. Once a month I'll do a flush... or sometimes I go too months if they seem happy. It may be a little different in soil. Going to use soil for the first time in the spring. My first outdoor grow.
Right, whatever works for you! Wet/dry cycles are not good for growth, sounds like you're doing it right. Frequent watering also provides more o2 to the roots.Well there really is no standard... everybody has an opinion just like everything...

See I never knew that thanks... I hear a lot of people saying you need to let the medium get dry ...at least the top 2 inches... but in hydro nothing dries out. Coco in my mind is kind of like growing hydroponically so i never paid those tips much mind.
