Looks thirsty or too much watering?

Outer fans are dropping down to the soil

About 2-3 cups every two days.

I get runoff off of that amount, but the pot doesn't feel all that heavy before I water.

I’m thinking the soil is having a difficult time retaining the water.
You may want to get some yucca if you don't already have it, it will help the water be able to actually hydrate your substrate as its a surfactant. General rule of thumb is that the roots typically span about as far as the above ground growth, so while you should be watering the whole pot, I wouldn't concentrate it too close to the plant itself.
 
With a plant that size, if you're watering the whole pot you should be able to go more than 2 days in between right now, so the yucca would more than likely help quite a bit if its a matter of your substrate being hydrophobic.

I ordered some when @Mañ'O'Green recommended it. Just waiting for it to arrive now.

Thanks for the tip.

Do you have any experience using the mosquito dunks?
How often is that mixed with the water?

Having run off at this stage in growth is too much watering imo. Like the saying goes less is more. Specially in early growth and with autos
