I allways water for the size of the pot .... why???As long as im sure that drainage is good, the time between waterings will be longer and the work of carrrying lots of water will happen less frequently...also i´m not saying that if i have plants in 3 gallon pots i´ll water them with 3 gallons i´m just saying that the size of the pot is my reference...also i find that since i started using this method the plants roots have grown not only across the areas where usually water and air pockets can be found but in a very well distributed scructure all around the pot...i do this NO MATHER THE SIZE OF THE PLANT!!!!!!!!!!.....but when i say this i allways add......POTS MUST HAVE EXCELLENT DRAINAGE!!!!!!!!...and of course that many other stuff is related to the watering issue...heat, humidity, airflow bla bla bla have a huge impact on a how u should water ur plant...imo u just need to pay atention to the plants, before all this high tech grow gear that we have today the growers had no more that the knowledge of experience and they did just fine....well im :stoned: :stoned: so ill check back later to find out more about what goin on in the water world..Peace and Pot
