Same amount of water as last week, much less runoff?

As title states.. I'm giving my girl (10th day of 12/12) 1 quart of water every 4-5 days and the first 2 waterings I got like 3/4 cup run of runoff water. Today I have her a drink and her first dose of tiger bloom but got MUCH less runoff.. Was the soil still to wet?(felt as dry as other waterings, maybe a tad bit less dry)
She has stretched pretty good and i transplanted her into a bigger pot 2 days before 12/12 so maybe more roots = less runoff?
Dirt may be too compact?

Ffof without any extra perlite

Thanks!

Your plants don't have a steady requirement for water;it changes over time - wait until the last two to three weeks of flowering and you are gonna' see some real increase in water requirements.
When I first started growing, I tried to work on a watering sked too...but I ended up with overwatering and under watering as the plants needs changed. Now, I just put my index finger in the soil up to the second knuckle and if it's dry I water and if it's damp I don't. It has worked out much better that way.
