Just transplanted into 10gal and have a stupid question...

Ok, I feel really stupid asking this question, but I'm used to growing non-organic in 5 gal pots.

I just went from 1.5gal pots to 10 gal pots and I'm wondering how much water I should start with when I water these pots? I've been giving the plants about 1L each, once every 3-4 days, so I'm worried about over watering with these 10gal pots. The plants are currently 33 days from sprout and, about 19 days in veg, and were topped once last Saturday. Any guidance would be appreciated!

I would use roughly the same amount at first. I would however water mostly around the circumference of the rootball. After a week or so you'll be able to up the amount significantly without worrying. My ten gallon fabric potted plants get 1.5 gallons every three days or so. And I've had no overwatering issues. I think it's pretty hard to overwater when using fabric containers.
