Synthetic nutrients

How important is following a feed, water, water schedule for synthetic nutrients?

I can use my usual organic line of nutrients every water but since being forced to switch to a synthetic brand for the time being, I was wondering if I can keep pushing nutes or should I follow the schedule with two rounds of pH'd plain water?

No.

No to what?

I run Jacks 3-2-1 and feed at every watering.

Soil or hydro? Multi day feeds?

Soil, feed every 4 days normally.

I run feed, water, feed water when using FF trio. Never tried feeding every watering with a weaker strength, might have to try that once and see what happens. I typically use calmag, molasses and silica on my plain water days.

It all depends on the feeding strength. You can feed every watering, every other or every third day. Doesn't really matter. I usually feed-->feed-->water but that's just my personal preference.

Think of what's actually in the medium instead and how you can keep things at optimal values. In the beginning it can be a good thing to take readings on your runoff just to get some data on what you're doing ie how much the plant eats.
