I think I might be over-watering my indoor container garden, but I want to make sure I'm not under-watering it either. Can anyone help me figure out when's the best time to water and how to keep track of it?

The best way to know when to water is to check if the soil is dry. Establishing a watering schedule can be helpful, but make sure to feel the soil first. Watering needs can vary based on temperature, humidity, and the plant's growth stage. Pay attention to your plants and adjust your watering routine as necessary!
Every plant has its own watering needs. Some plants prefer moist soil, while others like it drier. For instance, I've got some plants that I only water monthly, especially in winter, while others need it almost weekly. It’s usually safer to underwater than overwater—you can always add water later! Do you have a list of your specific plants?
Honestly, your setup might be holding your plants back. Most of those plants need good grow lights to thrive indoors, especially if they're not getting enough natural light. Trust me, once you get grow lights, your garden will flourish!
