i let mine almost dry out before i water them.

i use a bamboo stick in the soil, if it comes out dry, i know they need a drink....

see what others say, also once you have watered them keep an eye on the weight of the pot, you will get to know when they need water and when they dont.

also, weed is just that, itll find every last drop of moisture in your pots , so dont panic !

ur probably ganna need to water every 2-3 days and each plant should be watered till u get some drops or a little flow of run off..with that size pot it would probably take 2cups of water..after u water pick your pot up to feel how heavy it is then in two days pick it up and if it feels really light then water it again.

Be a good idea to feed them, that mix seems gutless. Just follow the directions on the bottle and start at 1/4 str. Saturate the pot when watering ferts in , no need to measure.

He said gutless. Lmao. Sand is unnecessary I found. You use too much perlite by volume.
Top soil is good for lawns. You need a nice composted manure or worm castings to give em some life.
