Watering Everyday???

I water my plants every night, not too much, just enough to saturate the soil. It's been getting up to 95 F outside everyday with no rain and lots of wind. I check the soil every night and its dry as bone, I was thinking I might be flushing the soil a little so I've been giving it some weak organic veg food (8-4-4) every 3-4 days, kinda smell like boiled down animal shit and rotting vegetables. I was wondering if you guys had better suggestions or ideas, Thank You!

get some good nice rich, organic soil and get some NPK nutrients. What I do is that I check them 3 or 4 times a day and if I stick my finger in the soil and it isnt at least moist then I water it. Haven't had a single problem so far.

im no expert but im pretty sure u wanna water till if comes out the bottom of ur pot then let it dry and repeat...if ur using organics ignore this as ive heard organics is a different ballgame and ive never tried so get some better advice

PS i got a rapitest for like 30 bucks and it tests moisture,ph,light and fertility big help if ur still learning like me

I assume you're growing outdoors, yeah?

you want to water tell 30% runs out the bottom. the reason for this is when the soil drys up sometimes the water wont penetrate all the way through. also it acts as a flush and keeps nutrient from building up in your soil.
