I have to admit when u say feed them once-twice a week im shocked its that low...but at the same time I realize the advice i was given must of have been very shotty...I was told to feed them every day!...but the person who told me this also keeps the temp at 85 on purpose....so yea...I think Ill try twice a week...starting whenever the top 2-3 inches are dry...I just called two hydro stores to back up your info so im definably going that route...

you the man
it's pretty much common practice to feed plants in soil once/twice a week as described. a good way to tell if you ladies need to be fed/watered is to make a diamond with the thumb and forefinger from each hand. pick up the pot this way and lightly bounce it up and down. do this when you know it's dry and then right after you water. you will feel the difference. when it feels empty again it's time to feed/water.

use plain, pH'd water in between feedings. if you use reverse osmosis water you must use a calcium/magnesium supplement or molasses.
