You dont want to drown your plants, so make sure you have a few drainage holes, but I'm sure you've done that.
I'm in the process of flushing my plant, so i saturate the soil fully and let the excess drain out the bottom. Yes it takes a good week for me to water (saturate) again, but I do a small test of sticking my finger 3 inches down into the soil, and if my finger comes out clean, Ill water, if there is 'mud' stuck to my finger, I'll wait longer. But yes typically a week depending on how big the plant is, and the root system, and even how thirsty it is.
Also, I'm using 3 gallon pots.
Hope this gives you a better idea.
