Might want to re-think that strategy. Giving smaller ammounts more often, doesn't allow the water to penetrate deep enough to reach the lower root zones. I nute twice a week (mondays and thursdays) till I get a slight trickle of runoff, and during the winter I might not need additional water till the next scheduled day. During the summer, I often have to water (no nutes) daily as the moisture levels drop enough to justify it. (I flower in an outdoor shed, and I live in the desert where temps hit 115 f. and 8% humidity daily for months on end)
Since it's an organic blend, and organics are a longer-lasting nute source, likely the nutes will last a while. However, nutes already in the soil will still exhaust it's effectiveness within a couple/few weeks, requiring you to start adding fresh nutes at the lower dilutions. Wish I could help more than that, but it sounds like you are geting the idea.
