Hi lads am perparing for my first grow, From what i,ve read i am better off to feed the plants through out their life span when the top of the soil in the pots are dry maybe every second or third day depending on the plant right? as the soil shouldnt b soggy or too dry but nicetly moist..i also guess the plant has enough water + nutes once i see the first drop emerging from the holes underneath the pot? i shall keep all pots on a saucers . also im goin to be usin bio bizz -bio grow, bio bizz-bio bloom and canna rhizotonic. will it be ok to mix the rhizotonic and bio grow in the water for veg stage for each feeding or should i use seperatly? i'll be using a ec meter though out aswell.. opinions please..thanks

Unless it specifically says do not mix with other nutrients it will be fine to mix rhizotonic with your other nutes.

What sort of soil are you growing in? If it has nutrients in already it will not need feeding until it is much bigger, if it contains no nutrients then just start off at 1/8 normal strength and work up very slowly.

Soil should be allowed to dry out completely inbetween waterings. Not stay moist. Yes, stop watering when it drains from bottom of pot well. Note weight of pot after watering. If you use drip pans, make sure water is not allowed to collect in them, or the plant will use that excess. You do not want to not water again until your pot feels light and totally dry, not just the top few inches of soil.

I had the Bio-Bizz line a few years ago. You yield @ an Ounce less than using chemical nutrients.
It is a good nutrient to start out with, less pH problems than chemical nutrients, and you don't need to flush at the end of flower.

Don't water/Feed on a schedule.
Only water/Feed when the plant needs it.
Get in the habit of picking your pots up. when they are light in weight water/Feed.
You have a saucer so you can water from the bottom up.
Fill the saucer with water. Let the plant absorb as much water as it wants. Dump out any water in your saucer.
Feed from the top down, like you usually do.

Remember "Little plants need little attention" "Love Kills" don't over Love your plant with water/food. You'll kill it.

Good Luck on Your Grow
