Breaker of Colas
@The Mugwamp I use about 40% perlite with my coco. Given that there is a healthy amount of perlite (or something else to aerate) I will water to runoff when I know the roots are at the bottom of the Solo Cup I start them in. I will top water using a syringe for about a week (always keeping the coco moist). Then I bottom dunk the cup after that so the roots search down for water. I prefer to start seedlings in a solo cup and I transplant when I know there are plenty of roots (almost root bound). I am now using the plant and not the day to estimate that. So, after the 3rd node I transplant and let her recover (if there is any recovery needed) so that I can top after the 4th node. After I transplant to the final pot I water the shit out of it to make sure the coco is fully saturated and I get plenty of runoff. From then on, I water to runoff and as the plant matures I will begin watering twice per day to runoff.
I hope this helps. I know it’s a hard one to trust watering like this but the properties of coco allow it over soil grows. You won’t overwater your plants if you have enough perlite in there.

it's just a case of feeding, turning, impatiently waiting and repeat
I'm guessing she still has around another 3 weeks or so to go, and if the description is correct, the colas are gonna get much fatter in that time, well hopefully anyway
and her scent is getting very fruity, so I'm looking forward to sticking her in my pipe and smoking
