You work your way up to full strength in increments of 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 strength applications each week. It depends on the line-up & what strain you are dealing with. Some strains are heavy feeders & can handle a full on administration of nutrients whereas other strains are only able to handle 1/4 to 1/4 strength max during feedings all of the way through flowering.
If your plants begin to slow down in growth & seem stunted then that's a sign to bump up the feeding. If you see the leaves are yellowing around the edges then you have overfed them. Over time you will learn to do what is called "read your plants".
General rule... follow the nute schedule.. they all start low........ building up to flowering...... then lower from there to harvest.
Some strain are touchy and may require a percentage reduction in feed. Either way they all still like it to biuld up and then lower.
To state as above that "if you seen yellowing at the edges your over feedding" is vague to say the least. There are 100 reasons for yellowing.. over watering just being 1.

Yeah, that's what Ive been doing for the most part, but Ive just gotten a little scared when I upped the nutes yesterday cause like you said, growth had slowed down a little and I wanted to stick to a more professional type feeding program. I've never really gone crazy with the nutes before. I'm growing in soil so I don't think a day is long enough to see the plants response, but right now, they look good. Btw, sorry about the lack of pics. I lost the only camera I had for posts.
