I have 4 auto flowers growing right now 2 in 3 gallon pots and 2 in 2gs.....how much water should I give them...I don't want to know when to water cause I prefer to water every 3 days..I hear 200ml some places and then a gallon others...those are big.differences, so if someone can.just give me a average..

No such thing as a average. You need to water slowly until you get about 10% runoff. And watering on a schedue is for hydro, not a dirt bagger. Water when the plants need water. Pots feel light, time to water....

Water your plants, then lift them with one hand....kinda get a feel for what the weight is when they are topped off....when they start to feel light again, water...This isn't a hard-and-fast rule but it'll give you an 'average'. =) When they are flowering you'll probably be watering every other day or so.

I've done roughly 1 gal for every foot of height. But you need to see how your leaves react. Every strain is going to want a particular amount of water in your grow environment so learn your plants :)

I wait until the top 2 inches of soil is bone dry and then water slowly till I see runoff, normally about 750ml of water in my 3 gal pot.

yea u want to water right before the lights come on or right after they come on cuz your plants will be looking for water and food at that time..i use one gallon pots and when my girls were babies i started with one cup of water then after 3 weeks or so i started with a cup and a half to two cups every time..now im getting towards the end of flowering and i use 2-3 cups every time
