Here in NC, when the temps hit the high 80s plus, I water twice a day.
Once in the morning, and once late afternoon. As I use potting mix, and the pots have good drainage, there's no concern of "over-watering" as the extra will just flow out. The bigger the plants get, the more water they will need, so you may have to adjust as the season progresses. As already mentioned, keep consistent with the watering to avoid BER. Added Calcium or sprays will not make up for poor growing conditions. Lee
