Many gardeners believe it's better to apply fertilizer more often at a lower rate in order to ensure the nutrient levels in the soil are consistent all the time. Full strength fertilizer will give you a bigger burst of growth, but it only lasts a designated amount of time. Toward the end of that period it's either used by the plant, evaporates or percolates deep into the soil.
Some bigger growers have installed fertilizer injectors into their watering system. Every time their plant stock is watered it is simultaneously fertilized ensuring a more consistent growth rate. Consistent nutrient levels are also vital for certain kinds of plants that often drop their blossoms or fail to produce new buds when nutrient levels decline even for a short time.
