YOU SHOULD NEVER WATER YOUR PLANTS ON A DAILY BASIS. N E V E R.
you should water when the plants need it. mine are in a pretty advanced stage of root binding and there's really low % of soil without roots so the water really doesn't hold for long. I water once every 2-5 days. if it was hot in there for a day probably they lost more water. if it was high humidity and pretty low temperature it can take even 5 days until I water them again.
in normal conditions where the roots aren't bound so badly you should be fine watering every 5-7 days. just like in the vegitative state.
also you need to give the plants some clean water every now and then to clean up build up salts.
it might not be written on the fertilizers but with marijuana you usually give way more fertilizer than to other plants so you should treat it differently.
if you'r still unsure about when to water just check about how much the pot weights when its dry, water it, weight it again and then water again when you feel its closer to the weight it had when it was dry.
40cm is a great size to start flowering.
Northern Lights doesn't strech too much during flowering, you should expect a final plant size of maximum 1m. probably about 80cm.
Anyhow, if a plant does strech too much you can LST it at the first 3 weeks of flowering without causing too much damage.
