My plants are drooping pretty bad. I'm using roots organics soil with just a layer of perlite at the top to ward off gnats or anything. I wait a week or more to water usually and when I do I get the soil pretty soaked but don't usually see runoff. It's been 5 days since I last watered. How much water should I give the plants when I water? 6oz, 8oz, half a gallon...?
Am I overwatering?

You should be seeing run off. I assume you are watering somewhere around a gallon each time?

If its been 5 days the soil should be dry.

Those are very large pots for pretty small plants. The problem your going to have is if you feed till you get run off it's going to take a long while for the plants to absorb all the water out of the pots as they haven't developed the necessary root mass. You should gradually increase the size of your pots instead of going to something so big so quickly
