If the temps are hot enough then yes its ok. Just because the soil looks dry on top doesn't mean the middle and bottom of the container are dry too. Your plants will generally tell you when they need watering especially in containers. Say if they look slightly wilty or the leaves start to curl and brown at the tips can be signs they need more frequent watering. Also another thing to consider is your soil structure. Peat and vermiculite tend t be very water retentive ingredients.Bark fines not so much. I use bark fines as a main ingredient in my container soils. Just something to consider, good luck and welcome to TV.
