Depends on lots of factors:
Climate
Hours of direct sun
Kind of soil
Best to try it and find out...

15 gallons? Really, they wouldn't make it more than every other day? Smart pot after extensive research is the coolest container you can plant in.

Ya man I was watering everyday in 45s, they got too big for the pots and were just drinking it up everyday on hot days it would be 4 gallons in the am and 4 at night.

I been growing outdoors in Midwest for many years.. Even in the ground they need 15-20 gallons a week in late july and august when its 90° plus daily. I'm not a fan of growing in pots outdoors unless its in your yard. They dry out real fast when its hot out. They stand out too, a plant in the ground is harder to notice.
