I guess it could be true for an outdoor grow with monster plants. Indoor gardens are more water efficient because you're only watering the soil used by the plant and the plants are usually shorter.

Hydro is even more efficient because you keep all of the water in a reservoir lol. But still the fastest water drinking plants I've ever seen were going through about 15 gallons a week, and only for a couple of weeks at the end of flowering. Not realistic for most grows.
