You need to read @Emilya Green’s thread on how to water a potted plant. It’s prolly saved thousands of plants from being watered incorrectly. CLI normally do the wet - dry cycle. The big container is too heavy so I do have a dip-stick to check with, the 5 gal bucket is easy to tell. The square 8 gal container is a bit tricky when she has a full grown plant in her, so again the dip-stick comes in handy, my problem has bee in order to not over warter I've been trying push it to the limit. But then end up having a seizure and in the hospital and they get too dry
