I guess if this is working well for you then you should stick with it, but it seems to me that you are wasting a whole lot of nutrients when you water. Four gallons each watering, each plant? :wtf: Wow! I have coco in #5 pots and when I water with 1.5 liters/pot I get about 20% runoff. Of course, the coco isn't as dry as your soil would be when you water. Nevertheless, it seems like after the first 3-4 quarts you'd just be throwing away nutrients.
