Plants need what they need.
Currently, My plants get fed 2 times a day outdoor in 3 gallon pots. I'm running a bunch of tester plants untopped and made the mistake of trying to flower in 1 gallons, and the wind kept blowing them over because they are around 6 ft tall, so I ended up transplanting mid-flower to make them more stable. I was feeding 4x a day when they were in 1 gals.
