I'm a rookie also and I can say your plant is definitely not flowing and it looks awesome. Keep doing what you're doing.

What size pot is that? I try to water every day. I'm in 5 gallon pots and run about a gallon through every day. I Definitely don't go more than 2 days withoutwater. Definitely want some decent runoff though. If you give a half gallon you would probably want 2 or 3 cups of runoff minimum. I give 1/4 strength nutrients every water at the stage your in and about 1 to 2 ml. Of calmag per gallon of water.

David it appears that you keep asking the same questions over and over.

Many people including our resident expert have told you how to feed your plant in coco. The answer you need has already been given.
Review the entire thread. How to water your plant has already been answered.
As far as the flowering of the plant what actually are you looking at that leads you to believe you are starting to flower?
If you search for " cannabis flowering stage " it should talk about how to see if your plant is ready based on presentation.
If you research simple questions and answer your own simple questions you will get more help on the difficult questions.
Dude we can not grow your plant for you by remote. You need to take responsibility for your grow and look this stuff up yourself.
If I say yes or no to the question you will just ask again in a few days or weeks
If you look it up and study it YOU will be the one to answer this question that someone asks.
And if you are not willing to do this part of the grow well your prolly gunna move to another pot forum until you replay the script again.

Your plant is a long ways from flowering. Go and look up the different stages of growth.

Your plant is not flowering yet, it's perfectly healthy for now. Watering in coco is easy, you can't do too much. Most people don't do enough. If you're feeding full strength you should be doing it every day until the pot is 100% saturated and 10% of what you put in comes out the bottom. That pot looks like it could easily take a liter or more. You have to water slowly. If you just dump 500 ml in you will get runoff but that's not doing anything.

So for instance if you slowly add 1 liter of food you should collect minimum 100ml running out the bottom of the pot. If you have to add 1.5 liters to get runoff you want 150 ml out the bottom, minimum.

This is crucial and the key to success with coco. You have to "reset" the solution in the root zone every day. It's a pain in the ass to deal with the waste water and in an ideal world I would suggest 20% runoff, but if you just master this one discipline you will avoid the many pitfalls that come when coco is not watered properly.

Grownsince95 · Feb 10, 2026

This is what 4 days of runoff looks like at 20% for these two pots. 10 liters fed 2 collected. Totally wasteful for plants this small but that's how it goes because any uneaten food or the parts of the coco with no roots are going to dry out leaving behind a salty mess for future roots.

It doesn't look like much on the bottom of the tent but it adds up. I just soak it up with a good rag and squeeze it into this pitcher.

No returns on damaged goods

Davidnufc · Feb 10, 2026

Haha what if it was faulty when purchased

Grownsince95 · Feb 10, 2026

But seriously mate treat your plant more like a DWC bucket than like soil. In DWC we grow in just nutrient water with an air stone because water itself does not hold enough oxygen. Coco coir is just like an air stone for your water and your "bucket" (fabric pot). Because of it molecular structure it will always hold enough oxygen for the roots even when completely saturated.

But if you don't replace and flush out old nutrient solution it becomes like a pot of soup reducing on the stove until it's really salty. You have to keep adding fresh stock to get it to taste the same.

@Growingsince95, my guy ..kid needs decision making and problem-solving skills. For someone who has been doing it for the last 30 its easy to spot when you read. I've seen it here before when the thread gets convoluted, kid wanted to build his own soil and ran into all kinds of problems..
in kindergarten there was a project for most kids where you cut a milk carton and grow a plant. Well I can assume most kids did not go through this "right of passage" and is struggling now. Same goes for decisions, if popa didnt teach it , kid might not know and be lost forever until he pops up here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
