It's hard to put a unit of measure on how much water you should be using I normally tell by the weight of the pot, I know what it feels completely dry and I know what it feels wet and I judge my water intake like that.

As for nutes, that depends on a lot of factors as well. First and foremost there should be instructions on the bottle on what to feed, use 1/4 to 1/2 of the recommended to start. As you know it's easy to burn, and a very small deficiency it easier to correct than a burn, and less traumatic to the plant.

Does your soil have nutrients in it? My advise would be don't overdue it, keep an eye on them and if you see slight deficiency correct it with the appropriate nutes.
 
yes the soil feeds continuously for up to 2 months but i wanted to use the big bloom or guano to boost the buds up some....fox farms says for general feeding to use 4 tblspns every gallon of water then supplemental foliar feeding is 1 tblspn per gallon of water...but i only use 2 quarts(1/2 gallon) when watering....do i just use the lowest amount and see how it goes from there?

I would stay away from Nitrogen at the moment just my opinion. From the pics in your other thread it looks a little burnt. I would feed some VERY little bloom nutes. Guano is high on Nitrogen and who knows how much is in your soil. You can add an additive like Bud Candy that will dense up the buds but I would not do that until you actually are closer to flower?

How long are these in from seed, about a month and a half?
 
not even a month n a half....maybe a month and 5 days at the most....and do i need to follow the general feeding chart on the bottle of fox farms? or foliar feeding? stephenscar 045.jpgshes doing a lot better after i flushed her....and you can somewhat see the small buds on her, they are all over....
