I've been adding nutes as I described in the T-Form but how SHOULD I do it?
Are you really using all 6 of the nutrients listed? That's two different 3-part series' isn't it? Make sure to use the series formulated for soil. I looked-up GH feeding schedule on thier website, and it's a mess compared to what I'm used to. (Fox Farms schedule) I'm guessing it's a weekly feeding schedule, but it wasn't overtly specific. (plus, I haven't had my coffee yet)

I feed once a week in the winter, twice a week (but half-strength) during the summer. Same weekly nutrient total per manufacturers recommendations.

Never-ever add nutrients directly from the bottle. Always add to properly ph'd water.

On feeding day...I mix-up a 5 gallon batch of nutrient mix.
In my 3 gallon pots, I'll give a tad more than a quart of nutrient mix. 5 gallon pots...about a half gallon of nutrient mix...5 gallon bucket (7 or 8 dry gallons)...about 3 quarts.
Might be a tad more or a tad less, depending on the strain I'm working with at the time, the weather, (ambient heat and humidity)

Nute feeding schedule? Not finding it.
Can you give me a link or do you know the answer to feeding (like they do for hydro)
Quantities listed on bottle are usually a weekly recommendation, added to a gallon of water prior to giving to the ladies. Start with a weekly schedule, and adjust quantity of nutrient mix you add to the pots, not the nutrient:water ratio. The ratio of nutrient solution to add to a gallon of water should remain very constant, and that should not be dicked-with till you know the product.
Feed your ladies once a week. Plain, ph'd water inbetween if necessary.
After you add the nutrient mixture, do not add more water to 'evenly disperse'. Soil is like a sponge, and will do that on it's own. It will also flush-out all the nutrients you just added. Never re-use runoff water.
