Hi everyone, I am starting my first grow soon and I was planning on following Nebula's watering schedule for the "Just Add Water Super Soil Organic Grow".
For those unfamiliar with it, Nebula used the following schedule below for 5 gallon pots, and I have been searching around to see if there's a way to convert it into a schedule for 10 gallon pots as I don't think it's as simple as multiplying it times 2 (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I know the schedule will differ a bit for everyone based on their setup etc, but I think having a rough sample like the one above would definitely be useful as I will also be using Nature's living soil.
I read that plants in bigger pots need to be watered less frequently because they retain water for a longer period of time. Does that also mean we have to give more water at a time?
I wouldnt want to gamble and overwater my plants because the runoff would carry away nutrients in the bottom 1/3rd of the medium.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for reading.

- Day 1 – Give 2 cups (500ml) water per plant (you should have done that in the above step when you installed your seedlings)
- Day 3 – Give 2 cups (500ml) water per plant
- Day 6 – Give 2 cups (500ml) water per plant
- Day 8 – Give 3 cups (750ml) water per plant (every 3 days after this)
- Day 11 – Give 3 cups (750ml) water per plant
- Day 14 – Give 4 cups (1 liter) water per plant
- Day 17 – Give 4 cups (1 liter) water per plant
- Day 20 – Give 5 cups (1.25 liter) water per plant
- Day 23 – Give 6 cups (1.5 liter) water per plant
- Day 26 – Give 6 cups (1.5 liter) water per plant
- Day 29 – Give 8 cups or 1/2 gallon (2 liter) water per plant
- Continue giving 1/2 gallon (2 liters) per plant every 3 days. You may need to give more at a time or more often as plants get bigger. If you ever get any significant runoff out the bottom, it means you should be giving less water at a time. If plants get droopy before being watered, you should give more water at a time, or water more often.
