hello, i as well love fat girls... more cushin for the pushin
anyways it depends what size your plants are, seedlings dont need that much water, neither does the adult plant but it needs more than seedlings do, of course. its very common to over water your plant, so remember you can always add but you cant take away
a good rule of thumb is to water your plant till you get a little bit of runoff coming out the bottom of your pot
let your soil completely dry before watering again, the top will look dry alot earlier than the rest of the soil so stick your finger check if its damp about a knuckle to half a finger in.
youll probably be watering your plants every 4 days or so and feeding every other watering
anything else you need help with?

The only thing I don't like about watering until you see runoff is if you let them get completely dry, the soil isn't going to soak it up as fast (depending on soil). I'll usually
water until I get an inch or so of runoff then check back in an hour or two to see if it's all been soaked up and add some more. I also do the lift test to see if they need water - after a while you'll get to know how heavy (or light) your pots get.
