I bottom water and yes, I remove pots after the very top of the soil in the pots is damp -- usually 30 minutes or so and it changes color. Then I don't water again until the soil in the pots is almost dry. If you use the same size pots and same or very similar potting mix in time you'll learn when to water and when to remove the pots from the watering recptical by weight change.
