Remember the rule of thumb with nutes is just like with cooking man,
You can always add to the mix, but you can never take away from it.
If i was you, n i was watering every single day, i would wait to feed them nutes until every third day just to be safe. Especially if they are still in early stages, its better to underfeed them, then end up with a case of nute burn thatll just make your babies look all fucked up. Stick with using your nutes sparingly until you get a feel for what your plant likes. Once you know how much it can take, then your free to do with it as you please, but be careful at first.
Good luck bro!

yea, that would have your pots drying out everyday. to answer your original question you can feed as often as you want, you just use more dilute nutes if you feed more often. take the recommended amount of nutes, divide by 4 and plan to use that much nute every week. you can do that in one dosing or the sum of all of the watering.
but the reason i asked you about watering schedules is that its probably better to water enough to have a little water flowing out of your bags, then waiting to water until the top inch or two dries out. you;ll end up watering every three of four days with a lot more water. for instance, my 3 gallon pots take 1 gal of water every three days.
the reason for this schedule is that as the medium dries out roots spread to where the moisture remains creating a stronger and larger root system = stronger and larger plant.
