Sounds like the soil you have is good quality and the roots arnt getting drowned.
That also means if you have good drainage that the soil will dry out very quickly too.
Sounds like you've got a good plan tho. Don't forget to let the pot dry out before you add anymore liquid tho. Alot of people forget that roots need oxygen as well as water.
Keep checking the weight of the pot today and tonight, that gives you an indication of how wet the soil is. If it still feels heavy tonight then leave the next watering until tomorrow night.
Without being cantankerous, my next liquid would be around 750ml, I reckon that will give you around 100/150ml run off.
To much run off has the opposite effect with soil. To much run off will start to remove the good stuff in the root zone as well as all the shit.
Takes time to get these thing bang on because there is so many factors to include, some plants might be hungryer at different times, temps and humidity also play a massive part in the amounts of liquid your plant might need.
That's the main reason I document all my grows on here in diary form. That way if something happens or changes, I can look back at my previous grows and see how to fix it.
Keep us updated tho mate, it's always nice to see the end results when you help a new member
