Keep an eye on the ground and the air.

For example, I turned off the irrigation last week. The ground arounf my plants was dry 2 inches down, but moist lower. However, we had a breeze today that was quite drying. I watered this afternoon just to be certain that respiration was continuing.

I probably won't water again for at least a week, maybe longer if it rains......you just have to feel that it is needed, if you do not have a moisture meter in your ground.

Keep an eye on things and you will do fine!
