tips on how i should water

my setup is 10 plants in 3 gal buckets with holes drilled in the bottom of those buckets for drainage and those buckets placed in 5 gal buckets to collect the drainage. my medium is clay pellets. my question is what are some suggestions, tips, etc. that I could put into use for my watering? I have a tub for my water and nutes with a pump, airstone, and digital readout for my ph, ec, etc. my plan was to build a table over the tub with a hole cut out for the 3 gal bucket to be placed in so it is suspended over it. which will leave me watering one plant at a time(which is fine). my concerns with this is it seems as if the first few plants will get more of the nutes and the plants towards the end will be getting a lot of run off from the plants before. any suggestions or tips would be appreciated

also I would like to add how often should I expect to water. everyday is what I would expect. my nutes schedule is twice a week. so I water everyday with water and twice a week I mix my nutes in. is this correct?

A picture would help. Where is the hole in the bucket? Are these Hempy buckets or is the hole in the bottom? An E&F using hydroton requires watering at least three times a day. I don't see why your system would be any different.

If I were you, I'd set up a top drip system with a pump and hook the pump to a timer which could be set up for several times a day;
