What Does Once a Week Mean

I am growing in super/living soil. My first two harvests in this medium were good as far as quality but not so good as far as yield. I recently learned that two producers of this type of soil say that is okay to supplement with nutrients to increase yields. I only wish I had known this at the time of my first grow. I have heard or read that you should only use nutrients once a week. This seems to imply that one is 'watering' more than once a week. So if one is only watering once every 5 - 7 days does this mean that one should only apply nutes with every other 'watering'. I am using Medi One nutrients which are OMRI certified as organic. FWIW OMRI is a higher standard than 'Organic'. My understanding is that by virtue of my nutes being organic I don't need to be concerned with nutrient lockout.
 
If I waited 5 days to water all my plants would be dead and dry. I am outside and organic, I may add a tea every other day as I may water 3 times a day if they need it.
 
Thank you Rwise. I used to overwater. The people at kindsoil.com recommend watering every 5 - 7 days or more often if needed. I never argue with success and thankfully I don't think I know everything so am willing to learn from others' successes. So out of curiosity are you in a desert type climate?
 
Many types of tea for plants, compost tea, poo tea (pick your poo), banana tea and on and on and~~~
 
Hi Canuck147, I did not frame my question very well. Also we may be using the same nutes as my Medi One is from Green Planet. I should have asked if forum members are alternate between watering and giving nutes on a periodic basis?
 
I did not frame my question very well. What I am wondering is if other forum members using organic nutrients and living/super soil are giving those with every 'watering', every other watering or some other schedule?
 
I am one state east of you. It has been a dry summer here as well. Glad that you guys have some form of legalization. Not sure if you are full legal or just medical.
 
Thank you Canuck147, I guess I am kind of thick today. I understand now that you answered my question in your first post. Like you I use molasses. Before I started using nutes again I would alternate between pH'd water, our water here is normally 8.2, pH'd water with Mammoth P, and Earth Juice Hi-Brix molasses every 4 weeks. Then I changed to giving molasses every 2 weeks.

I am thinking I might alternate the Medi One and water with Mammoth P and molasses every two weeks or just alternate between nutes, water with Mammoth P and molasses while upping the percentage of nutrients from 25% to 50% to 75% to 100%.
 
I hear you Canuck147 but the developer of the soil I am using said, "you'll want to start out at 1/4 strength and work your way up from there so as not to burn the plants by over applying nutrients." I figure better safe than sorry.
 
It is sad. Cannabis was made illegal based on lies and to provide jobs for government employees who had previously worked for the Bureau of Prohibition. Now this government is acting like it has done us a favor by allowing us to grow a plant that should never have been made illegal instead of being honest and admitting their wrongdoing.
