That sounds about right, I'm using the techiflora line (Haven't tried advanced line), and it's FEED WATER WATER, I allow the soil to almost completely dry before watering or feeding again, then water or feed until runoff.

I also stage my waterings, I know ruffly how much water it'll take, so I will water 1/3 let it soak in, then the next 1/3 soak, then the last 1/3, and typically about 1/4-1/2 of the last stage will be runoff. I feel that doing it this way prevents dry spots in my soil mass, weather or not that's true I don't know,... but it makes me feel better and the plants don't seem to mind! :hippy:
