I water my soil plants every 2-3 days...pour water in pot until it overflows 10-15%...don't water again until top is dry and you have to poke your finger in topsoil to find a bit of moisture.

root bound is when you have let your plant outgrow it's little pot...It won't kill your plant, but will stifle growth and yield...
so, I repot 1-2 times depending on whether or not I
am using clones or seedling...Clones 1x---seedlings 2x

1st you have starters or small 2-4" pot...after you get 4-5
sets of true leaves, you can repot into 1 gallon pots,
(if seedlings you pot in 4" pots as soon a roots begin to show through...)

Just before bloom stage. than I repot to a 2-3 gallon pot...
clones 2---seedlings 3 (they generally take longer to finish)

The rule of thumb is simple. Use as many a gallon pot as months you are going to grow...

hope this helps
