How much water for one gallon soil medium

How much water should i give my babies, like the size of a coke can or a half gallon? Should I get the hole bucket wet with water and let it drain?
Quick and simple thx. (In 1 gallon buckets, drys up in under 2 days)

as long as you have a decent draining soil, completely saturate until 20% runoff.

I use one gallon pots with fox farm ocean forest and put about cups of water or nute mix every 24 hours but I did make sure soil was good and wet before the seed went in

Hes got it. Soak it, and let it dry out, then soak it again. When growing in soil i sometime let my plants start to droop before watering again.

this was a question that i searched for a while on, wasn't easy to find the 'standard' method
i did find a fair number of posts that mentioned 1/4 the volume of the pot, so one quart per gallon of soil
has worked well for me, though many seem to do it by feel

I recommend this style too, you need to flush your soil regularly 'speacially with peat based soils.
