Answer 1

Dart's DateTime class has an add function, where you can specify a duration which will be added the current Date.

Therefore, what you can do is:

DateTime now = DateTime.now();

for(var d = 1; d <= 5; d++) {
  ...
  now = now.add(Duration(days: 7)); // here you can specify your interval. Also possible: hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and microseconds
}

I'll recommend reading the Docs, e.g. DateTime Docs and Duration Docs
