I would use only a portion of the recommended dosage and add more only after a water change, enough to treat the replaced water. There is no sure way to tell when you need more - the plant health is a balance between light, water nutrients, and soil nutrients (for rooted plants), as well as available co2. If you find your plants lacking in health or growth, it's best to research the problem and try to narrow it down, rather then randomly add a fertilizer and hope it helps and doesn't cause further problems.
