How do Hestu's seed requirements scale?

Question

Every time you use Hestu to upgrade your space, it costs more seeds for the next upgrade.

I was keeping my upgrade levels equal across the board, just looking for the cheapest to upgrade, but I now think that all 3 scale at different paces.

So just to see if I'm hallucinating or not, how does Hestu scale for his upgrades?

Something like:

Swords

Lvl 1 - 1 seed needed 
lvl 2 - 2 
lvl 3 - 4 
[...]

Hestu's Korok seed scaling differs depending on which item slot you want to improve. See this image.
Here's how it goes if the image isn't clear:

Weapons
Bows
Shields

All in all, you'll need 441 out of the 900 Korok Seeds to upgrade all of your stashes completely.
