For plants in soil, it can take up to 3 weeks to uptake all of the inorganic mineral nutrients, and then a few weeks to assimilate them. So even though you may notice a quick response from a plant from some of the constituents, I see no point in applying more frequently than once per month for plants in the ground -- unless you have a fertigation system. Then I'd feed them continuously.
