a good rule of thumb to water is when the soil's first inch or so is dry it is time to water---later you will notice the weight of the potted plant. Pots are about ready for a t-plant get 3 gal nursery pots for your set up plenty big. When you water if you do not have a meter chances are the water is in the high 7's a 1/2 oz of white vinegar to a couple gal of h20 should bring it done a touch might even need a full shot glass of white vinegar to get teh ph down. Dont worry about getting into the 5's on the water the soil will straighten out.
That water should run out the bottom about 15% extra You put in 1 gallon water you should see about 16 oz run out the bottom and not sit in it let it run out and off---I use those trys for mixing morter or cement any Plastic tray that you can throw a few peices of something to get her off the bottom of the drain off area. I water my girls that are in a 5 gal nurse pot with 2-3 gal of water a shot then 4-5 days later pending on the weather. Again. you Def need to buy some Epsom salt for plants and flush 3 times the amount of water per container at 1 tbs per gal of salt or Mag Sulf. That will help wash that root ball full of yellow bile nutes that have been leaching in there with the slow death of over watering. Now get some sleep LOL!
