I always water with the same rule of thumb: each watering is with 10% of the container size
So for your 12l pot I would use about 1.2l every time my pots feel really light..in early veg I sometimes water only once a week,depending on the weather outside..if it’s a really sunny day they dry out quicker especially in airports..if you water next time you can pick up your pot to feel the weight..still a bit heavy wait a day longer,feeling light just add water,this way you get a nice wet/dry cycle So oxygen can get to the roots so they don’t suffocate
✌️And happy growing,stay safe 🌱
