it’s a solid question—there’s no one-size-fits-all. I usually go by how the pot feels and how the plant looks more than a strict schedule. Early on, I’m giving like 0.25–0.5L every other day, just enough to keep things moist without overdoing it. Once they’re bigger and into mid/late veg, it’s more like 1–1.5L every couple of days. In flower, I’m pushing 1.5–2L depending on how thirsty they are and the pot size. The key thing is to wait till the top inch or so is dry or the pot feels light before watering again. Autos don’t like to be overfed or overwatered, so I stick to light feeds more often and adjust based on how they respond.

I understand your question. Everyone deals with watering differently. I personally know that cannabis does not like excessive moisture and certainly not overwatering. That is why textile flower pots or Airpots should be used, because they aerate the roots beautifully. Likewise, the substrate should be aerated using coconut fibers and perlite. If the substrate is light, I water - that is, according to the current weight. I water 2 liters of settled water with nutrients for an 11 liter flower pot. I have never had my plants have a water deficit.

I watered mine yesterday, 12L pot, light mix soil, watered 5L over a few hours, got 0.8L runoff, and I'll do that again in about 3 or 4 days depending on how light the pot is.

about 8 cups every other day. a good rule of thumb is to water 5 or 10 % of the volume every 2-3 days. so in 5 gallons i would do a .5 gallons of water

It really depends on the size of the pot. I use 19L pots and water anywhere from 0.5L to 2.5L depending on the growth stage. As a general rule, I find that watering with about 10% of the pot volume is a good guideline.
