Watering after transplant

So I just transplant my plant from 0.5L to 12L air pot and I was wondering how should I watered it in the first stage. Should I water until the soil is saturated and start dry wet circles right away?

So, if the soil is humid i don't even water and just let them expand the roots into the humid soil as it dries out, if the soil is dried at first you sould water just enough to get the bottom portion humid at most, so for a 12l you might need just 400ml to 800ml of water depending on your soil's water retention capabilities. And yeah start wet dry cicles right away, check any of my latest diaries to check how i did on the transplant if you wish to. If you don't wish to i will just say, i watered the initial pot on lets call it day 1, then transplanted on day 2, then only watered again on day 4 as the soil was still humid and my soil mix has big water retention capabilities, therefore when i watered i had to go from 75ml per plant per watering to 750ml per plant per watering, i wet the whole soil because as the roots expand they drink the water retained in the soil that is in direct contact with the roots first, and as they expand they drink the water in the soil that was not in contact with the roots, so your gonna want to have the lower portions of the pot wet so the roots feels compeled to move there. I hope it helps, keep it up, nice grow. C ya around growmie.

I agree with @Pmsl027, I wouldn’t give that more than 500ml. Easy to over water in soil. Can always add more but can’t take away👍 There shouldn’t be any need to water to run off for a fair while yet
