I mixed in dr. Earths 5-5-5 organic vegetable garden fertilizer when I repotted my plants. But I doubled the dose to make it 10-10-10. Not sure if thats correct how I did it but my question was… How long can I expect this fertilizer to last in my potted plants. They are in those 6" pots just shy of a gallon (maybe a gallon of filled to the top) I water them once my first knuckle stops hitting moist soil i.e. 5-7 days. And water till about 10-20% runs off. That’s roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of a 16.5oz water bottle. Thanks!!
There is not enough info for anyone to even give you a wild guess like…
1.) What stage of growth are they in ?
2.) What strain are they ?

I use a water feed water or a water feed feed schedule but there is no set rule aside from trial and error feeding your plants is a case of observation using a less is more thinking watch your plants. As their growth slows feed or lightly feed every other water they look to be healthy if you see signs of nutrient burns reduce dose or how often you feed.

Hey Donald thank for jumping in.
I agree with Donald here less is better. I have been preaching that for some time.
But ya, your plants look awesome.
