I always deep water, every time I water I at least water until some drains out the holes. every 2-3 weeks or so I'll "flush them" over about 15-20 minutes, by deep watering 3-4 times with straight water, since I use so many nutes I flush excess out incase I'm over doing it.
The pots are 5 gallons, the baby bells are together, and have around 4.6-4.8 gallons of soil, the Jalapeno is alone and has around 4-4.3 gallons of soil, just the cheapest potting soil I could buy, and I regularly hit them with half strength granual 10-15-10 nutes that is mixed in the water.
Btw I was thinking I was over watering, but today would be my "normal day to water", and I would have done so earlier in the day, but when I got home from work, they7 were looking real sad, drooping way more than normal (and its only 87 outside), I checked the soil, was bone dry about 4 inches down! So I went ahead and soaked everything REAL good, repeatedly. I was offo n my calculations, thought I was too wet, looks like I was getting too dry! My plants are SOAKING up the water now that they have tons of fruits (around 90+ on the jalapeno plant)
