These are your basic heavy duty 25 gallon Nursery pots with 6 1.5" drain holes around the bottom edge.
Thanks in advance,

If you are using a peat moss pine bark perlite mixture your soil is going to drain adequately due to gravity every time you water. If you have some sand and peat you might want to back off but generally speaking potting soils are designed to leave plenty of airspace even when at capacity.
