Starting off give them about 1/4 gallon every 3 days to keep it from becoming hydrophobic but for the 1st week give them 3 sprays twice a day until the roots hit tthe core of the coco then after a week after sprouting its daily watering till you get at least a little runoff ( depending on size of plant that could be 1/4 gallon to 3/4 of a gallon and my giant pineapple express auto is drinking 1.5 gallons a day)

I’m growing in coco my first time using it, I usually grow in soil. When they sprout, I place a dome over them that I mist with water. My plants are 9weeks old I started giving them 4oz of water/Jacks 321Ph@ 5.8 on 6/15 and kept increasing the amount of water as they grow, I’m now giving them 1 liter of water/jacks everyday Ph@ 5.8 and about 1000 ppm. You will have to water with nutes everyday and get about 20% runoff and test the Ph and PPM. There alot of growers on here using coco. Hope this helps. Here is a pic of my grow in coco.
@Iluvhanna pretty good topic. I haven’t grown in this medium before so if you don’t mind I’d like to sit in on this and learn. 
You are amazing
