Latticed bacon is always good.
I try to feed enough to keep plants growing vigorously but no more. I can't wait to go back to a recirculating hydro system so I can monitor the res to make sure they're getting exactly what they want pretty much in real time. Feeding more actually stresses the plant because they need to use energy to absorb water. Overfed plants need flushing.
I do leech my medium by running 2-3x the volume of the pot through it periodically and then doing a normal feed. But that's about preventing salt buildup. I guess if you don't do that you should flush as well.
