bad water schedual?

Hello, the main question I have is if I have a good watering schedual. My plants are about 5 ft tall and are in there 5th week of flowering. they are in 10 inch soil containers. I have a bucket i mix water with nutrient solution, pure grow bloom 3-1.5-4 at full strength. I feet my plants a qrt of that about every other day. That is the only watering/feeding I do. I have a feeling that is to much, is it?

thanks.

Depends on how much they are growing. If they are that big they should be pumping out white hairs now and as long as they are filling them out, keep them up.P.K 13/14 now keep feeding then prepare for Molassass then a nice clean flush with pure rainwater. If pots are still damp then you are watering too much but if they are dry water some more. My wife dont want me growing in our house.

yea if the soil is still very wet and doest drain to well then stop watering as much , find a nice medium when you get around 15% of the amount you pour drain out the bottom...
if the water just pours through your soil with no problem then you probably are fine with what your doing ,
 
Ok, I think I have been watering to much. Barley any water drops comes out the bottom of the pots when I feed. I feed them about a quart each time, 0% of that comes out.

thanks for your help

a qt of water for a 5ft plant? dude thats not enough. i use that for my 6in flowering plants in less than 3gallon pots. that plant is probably soo rootbound from a 10in pot. if you water and it comes out the bottom then your watering too much and could be flushing out valuable nutes. water until a little bit comes out. my plants are soo much smaller and my plants take a quart every other day and if they dont they get wilted. huge root systems need lots of water, exspecially in flowering! good luck
