i have never measured the water i give a plant at any stage, i simply
water a plant until water starts to drip out the bottom into a tray all my pots sit in, then i leave them until the top two inchs of dirt are dry, and do it again. PH 6.5 is correct,

Plants perk up very quickly when under watered.

20% of your container size is a decent rule of thumb for watering established plants, but phenos vary. I make 'em wilt and whine before I water them and they seem to love the neglect.

Hi,

As long as you let the top inch or two of your soil surface dry out well between thorough waterings you won't run into problems. I think weight is a very easy method for checking smaller plants or for any plant that you can easily lift for that matter. If you're don't have a feel for what the wet and dry weight should be you could always keep a couple of extra containers with soil in them, one watered until slight runoff and another that is mostly dried out to compare with your pot with the plant in it. Within a short time you'll get a feel for when they need to be watered.

Happy Growing!
