Should i let them droop

Should you wait until your plants droop a little to give them water, or should you do sooner than that. One person said 25% water in the pot, but I don't have a way to measure that. Two of my plants will need water soon. The pot is getting lighter, and the soil is definitely dryer than the other two. Prob. In the next day the two pots will need more water. I gave them around 1,200ml of water on Friday of last week.

Using fox farm happy frog, they are a little older than three weeks, in 2.5 gallon pots. Unknown temp and humidity.

Dry & droopy is a clear indication of needing water. Some growers do wait.. but I rather not. Personal preference. I let them dry. I use their weight as a sign if they need it or not, but I won't let them droop on purpose.

Ya i did more research and found that out. The pot went from feeling like a weight to feeling much lighter in 4 days. My other two I think will need a watering tom. I've gave them 1,000ml this time. Could have done more, it didn't run off, but ehhh it feels heavy now.
