How much water per 5 gallon bucket

Hello all I have a simple question. I'm on my second grow with a re-vegged plant. I was feeding before the harvest 1 gallon every 3 days and she only grow about 15 inches in total. Now after the harvest and Re-vegging I'm feeding her 2 gallons every other day with 1/2 tspn of nutes (Jacks Classic 20-20-20) per gallon. How much water should I be feeding her every watering If i have her in a five gallon clay pot? I have noticed her gorwing rapidly on 2 gallons per feeding. Below is a pic of her re-Vegging.

She is now about 5 months old now from the day she sprouted. and has been re-vegging for about 3 1/2 weeks since she was stripped and only left with about 10 fan leaves and a few mini buds from the bottom and has exploded since and has about 15 tops!!! like if she was fimmed. And yes I'm gonna LST her again since shes blowing up.

watering is really such an individual thing. it matters what the temp is, the RH, the specific soil, the specific plant, etc. etc. its a balancing act, and only you can really measure visually, physically the right amount. In I believe I was watering close to a gal a day for each plant in a 2 gal pot. They certainly start to take up a lot more in the last weeks. Sorry, not specific help, but hope you can work it out ..... cheers!

Thanks for the reply. The PH is at about 6.5, temp no more then 79-80 with lights on a hot day and in cool days no more then 78 degrees. I have no Idea what plant thi is its bagseed looks like indica/sativa mix. and using FF Ocean forest. I really dont have a heat problem due to the fact I'm using about 5 26W CFL and 1 42W CFL all 6500K with an output of just over 10,000 Lumens.

water when the soil is dry and water until you have 10% runoff.
Read the grow faq, this question has already been answered...

i am using 5 gallon buckets for a hydro dwc setup. if you're wondering HOW MUCH WATER YOU NEED FOR A MATURE PLANT OR EVEN A SMALLER PLANT. if you have a larger vegging or budding plant, you want your roots to be maybe a lil more than half way submerged. as long as the water is nice and aerated, the bottom half of the roots can stay submerged indefinetely (forever). the upper half of the roots store and deliver the moisture back too the plant. IF YOU"RE USING 5 GALLON BUCKETS WITH A MATURE PLANT, 2 - 3 galllons will do. if the roots are smaller or just coming out of the plastic pot holes or slits or whatever it is, you want the roots to be hangin in the water a lil but the bubbles should splash sufficient water to them. FLUSH WEEKLY for best results. i do two weeks sometimes if the water looks good and they're happy.

eiither way, hope this helpss.
