juiceyfruit.... welcome to RIU. there is no set schedule as to when you should water your plants, or how much water to give them. to know when you should water your plants, simply push your finger down about 2" into the soil and see what conditions are like there. if it's moist that far down, wait another day and check again. if it's dry, water. when you do water, it's best to do a little at a time. i usually mix up a few gallons of water, bring them into garden area, and then use a regular sized cup to water plants. pour a cup in, give it 20 sec or so, then put another in. you want to give it sometime before adding more water so that you can check for runoff. the pots your using should have drainage holes in them and as soon as water leaves the container, you stop watering. also, make sure your water has a ph of 6.2-6.8 good luck.....
