Soil should be watered til run off, then only water once dry and light to lift, about 3-5 days.

Totally dependent on numerous factors that only you can know.
I water my plants daily with about a gallon to gallon and a half everyday and I water about 5x a day just a few cups at a time.
But I am in a 25 gallon fabric pot in living organic soil that has more aeration and a cover crop plus worms so my soil tilth drains very well and the cover crop drinks water and worms keep the soil porous.

FFOF which I use for my veggies outside seems to hold onto water quite a bit.

If you're in flower, plants are vigorous and those 3 gallon pots are fabric then you could easily go through that much water a day.
You could also just as easily drown them.
You're going to have judge for yourself what your conditions are.
Most here are going to tell you to let your pot dry out almost completely, depending on your soil tilth that may be needed.

3g pot will take at least a gal to saturate til runoff.
Your most likely underwatering pot.

when you said plants are vigorous in 3 gal fabric pots..VERY TRUE, next grow I am using 5 gallon pots.
worms in gardens, ...that just brings back memories when my dad had worms in his garden, he used to take my moms coffee grounds and had a mound of coffee to collect worms. fun times.... never went with out worms

If you go to the fox farm site and look at the directions on using there soil they never mention to let your soil dry out but they do say to water thoroughly.

If a hydro farmer can keep his or her roots wet so can a soil grower in fact the same reason that a hydro farmer would not let there containers go dry are the same reasons why soil should never be fully dried out. Dry soil equals dead dry roots.
