i started my plants on 1/4 strength and built up to full strength then i started feeding them nutrients every day. no signs of nute burn the plants look good . i am using foxfarm grow big for veg and fox farm big bloom for flower i have enough nutrients to feed them every day this year. i only have 3 plants so why not.DSCF3118.jpgDSCF3119.jpgDSCF3117.jpgDSCF3115.jpgDSCF3116.jpg will it effect the taste more if i feed every day what other reasons are there to not feed nutrients every day any advice would be appreciated

there's really no need to feed them every day.. although you're not having any burn issues yet, if you feed them too often it's pretty much a sure bet that you'll run into problems sooner rather than later..
plants can only use so many nutrients, so by pumping and pumping them full of nutes, the unused nutrients, ie, salts, will build up in your soil and cause problems like burn or lockout even, both of which aren't ideal..
i and many other growers like to follow the schedule of water, water, feed. or water, feed water.. i like to go every three myself though as i find the added day of just water allows more of the built up nutrients a chance to be flushed out of the soil before my next application..
