Hello wondering about watering in my situation.

Question for you all.
How much do you water per gallon?

Example:
3 gallon fabric round pots. 2-3ft trees.
Little over 1ft wide for canopy each.
Topped.
Organic living soil. Black swallow premium mix/ promix. Top dress black swallow organic bloom.
Use bokashi pro bloom every 2 weeks.

I’m currently 3lbs (about shy of 1400ML. 1.4L-1500ml 1.5l)
of water each every 3 days. The soil cracks and is definitely dry.

I’m about 35DLI 1.3-1.4 vpd during day. 1.0 vpd during night. Temp is 24c below canopy and at canopy is 25-26c.

Week 5 flower started today.

Fan over top of canopy blowing down setting two hurricane. Exhaust 8” on level 6 setting infinity with pro controller. Room is 8x4x7

Reason for asking question:
Wanna compare and understand water intake.

You water when the plants need it. Their requirements change throughout the grow. You water to 10-20% runoff (soil), sometimes it’s every 3 days, sometimes it’s once a week.

In soil - you want “ some “ dryback between watering.

Looking pretty good so far.

They look pretty good. I'd keep doing what you're doing but maybe cut back on the nutrients a tad.

He's using organic soil and topdressing though so he doesn't want the runoff.

Water in 5 - 10% water to soil volume. You want the soil to get somewhat dry before watering. You don't want any real runoff, but to see a lil trickle (and I mean lil), isn't so bad. Just to know the entire soil volume gets moist. Use a surfactant as well.

When you have very heavy pots that are still moist at the top layer after 2 days of blasting your plants and your RH is goin up, you know that you gave 'em too much water.
