Fertilizing every day?

I am two weeks into flowering and am currently watering with fert every day and my plants look fantastic, huge growth and beautiful green leaves!.
My question though, can you over fert even if your plants look great?
I water with 24 degree celcius, ph 6.5 distilled water (1.5 litres per plant every day). Adding 5mls each, part A and part B of Coco Bloom organic fertilizer under a 400w Hps at 31 deg C. I also have a medium sized lantern running 12 hours when the light is on for Co2.

Thanks for any answers you may give

are you feeding them with a small dose? If they are looking good I wouldnt change anything..I only feed my plants about once a week. Ive over ferted before and some of my leaves have turned yellow at the tips.

Im feeding them the recomended amount on the bottle, probably not supposed to be every day though. I figured I would wait untill I started seeing the tips yellowing and then back off and just water?

mate, I wouldn't wait until the leaves turn yellow. Your plant will be a lil shocked by then and you'll lose a feww days growth while it recovers. When I over ferted, it took around a week before my plants returned to normal growth rate. My plants are around 5-6 week now, flowering for about 9 days. I water with ph 6.5 water (about 1/2 - 1 litre / plant every 2 days. I use half strength nutes every other feed, and occassionally every 3 feeds and I seem to have found the balance. It's all about the balance mate. I just think it's better to predict the problem rather than wait for it to happen then solve

I use BioBizz organic nutes and they too recommmend 2-5ml / watering which in my case was every 2-3 days.
Are you allowing your plant to dry out between waterings? most people don't water every day.
You cant really over fert with organic, so, if they are looking good and healthy, keep with your current nutes program.

Hmmm, not sure it doesnt say. Just add 5ml part A and part B to every litre of water, no frequency.
