could anyone please let me know how long i should cure a soap made using 125g pomace oilve oil and 25 gm coconut oil with 20g lye and 48.75g distilled water.Also is there a time on related to the amount of soft oils we use for soap making

The longer the cure, the nicer the soap. You can start using your soap safely after it passes the zap test (eta: depending on your recipe this takes between several hours to several days).
A general guideline for cure time is 4-6 weeks minimum, but more soft oils = longer cure. For learning purposes it's interesting to start testing early on and see how the soap evolves. For enjoying purposes I'd give this soap 6 months.
