Default Feeding/Watering in S/H

Maybe I'm too concrete. (I've been accused of that before!)

I've read until my eyes are bleeding. I suppose everyone who has been successful with S/H has their own basic techniques while following the foundations of culture.

What I'm not understanding is the general rule of thumb for feeding/watering. I know you want to keep the reservoir maintained...not allowing it to dry out. I know you need to flush rapidly (all the way to the top) and allow the water to drain several times in order to clean out debris and mineral buildup.

I feed EVERY time I water a plant. It's weak but it works well for me. In addition to that, I feed different things to different plants dependent on what stage of growth the plant is in, what it's doing, what it's NOT doing, time of year, and what I want it to do. (amongst other variables) In my arsenal, I have 20-20-20, high nitrogen, a bloomer, KLN, Superthrive, MgSo4, lime, Pro-Tekt and Kelp.

How do you manage (or do you?) the KLN, SuperThrive, MgSo4, Pro-Tekt or Kelp in S/H. What confuses me is that you have to be careful with these and you can't give too much...and certainly not all the time. In S/H, they would be getting a constant dose over a period of days wouldn't they?

So my question is....How do I apply these various "add-ins" to the culture using S/H? Does anyone have a schedule they use? Please be specific!
