Pot size Veg, water 3-4 days

[pakist0ned]

Hi guys!

Been trying 1 gallon pots for Vegging my greens.

It's ok, but I have to water them every (max) 2 days. Which is kind of annoying for me. I would like to have at least 3 days.

I was used to 5 gallon pots which I watered every 5-7 days.

So, will 2 gallon pots probably last for 3 days? Or which size would you recommend?

Cheers!

What medium are you using?

If you find watering every 2-3 days annoying.........don't try coco.

Yeah I'm aware

How much water are you using? It should take at least a full liter in a 1 gallon container.

Yes, that's the average. 1L

The term gallon is so ambiguous. Is this a US gallon (3.8L) or a Imperial Gallon (4.54L). How are you determining that they need watering?

No chance to go for 3 days in 1gal when plants are getting bigger and more thirsty. I think 3gal is safe choice. Depends of course how long u veg, lighting etc.

You could have a giant plant in a 20 gallon pot of coco that drinks daily, there are too many variables for anyone to give you a remotely close answer.
