Just water thoroughly, until the soil is saturated, you can water over the course of a couple hours if you wish but eventually you should get some drainage (run-off) coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot(s). You can tell it is time to water when the containers have lightened up considerably (lift them if you have to), and the soil is visibly drier (not completely dry).
Larger containers are typically watered less frequently.

simple when ur medium is dry water till u see a good amount of run off but not to much..........then wait till its dry again, every plant will suck up water at different rates depending on it conditions, i use 5 gallon smart pots and about 1 gallon thru each gets the job done bout every 4 days

i use 3gal pots, and use roots organics soil, i water fridays and tuesdays, and only use 1 gal per 8-9 plants, and its loaded with organic bat guano and molasses 
Best answer. This person's right on the money.
It's usually best to add the water slowly. Adding too fast sometimes makes it run down the sides of the container and come out the holes in the bottom leaving dry spots in the soil.
Myself, I slowly water until I get a little trickle coming out the bottoms. If you get too much coming out you're actually flushing out nutes also.
