looking ok there, ive found its not a good idea to use the pot saucers as it tends to build up excess salts quickly, just let your fluids run straight through to waste, how much water you ask? i lift the pots by hand to get a feel of moisture level, i never let them dry completely out, but try not to overwater/too often them, but when you water them let it run out the bottom before you stop, that way you will be flushing the salts out with every time you water, when i say water i mean nute blend, never clear water

some people recycle their runoff, but it needs to be closely monitored, if you have only a few plants its no real great cost to let it run to waste, it doesnt have to be a huge amount of runoff...as long as its runs out approx 10% of what you water, coco is great if you keep within its boundaries, if you try to cut corners and get imbalances it can be hell to try & save your plants, PH, PPM & EC are possibly the 3 most important things to keep under control with coco, of course light & temp all play their role too.
im really still a novice with coco and struggled the last few years getting it to a usable level, i think things will be ok from now on, below is a link to some coco grow threads, there is lots of info on coco here on RIU, but it can be spread around in lots of different threads & a bit hard to find

pure coca can stay wet for over a week depending on pot size
after pulling my plants the pots stay moist inside 3 weeks later
1 feed a day is more then enough i think in pure coca
