Watering from below ~ How much, how often?

I tried it once a few years ago, and wasn't effective, then I saw it suggested a few places on here. I tried it yesterday, and all of my small seedlings, indoor morning glory, and lettuce drank RIGHT UP! =) It's like I could tell which plants needed more water than others by who soaked up the water fastest. Some took a minute, some up to 10-15 mins.

I really liked it, and am thinking of continuing to do this, however, how much is "enough" water when watering from below? How often do you do it?

It's easier to see the effect when you wet the top soil. I thought I had put a lot under my lettuce container yesterday, but it was a very sunny this morning and they looked dry (not overwatered) on top.
