I would do 3 times a day for an hour at a time. It all comes down to you what you think is best I'm using coco chips with air pots, I chose coco chips because it doesnt retain as much water as coco coir and I can flood it like I would hydroton, but I recently changed it up and made it a top feed system watering the ladies 3 times a day for 1 hour at a time.
