Is this a cannabis aimed soil, I had a bet with myself it was? 😁
 
So coco and peat potting soil.

I understand you have grown good weed with this mixture. Please open a grow diary and document the watering cycle as a lot of folks have problems with peat and coco. One part stores O2 when wet and one when dry. Coco needs to remain wet peat based soils need a dryback. The coco load may be high as the ingredients listed a " wetting agent " prolly trying to reduce the hydrophobic content. And, it's an organic mixture already amended.
This mixture would seem to be made for moist soil plants.

The coco is probably added just as a soil conditioner, I do the same with my soil, about 10% coco give or take, doesnt interfere with PH and messes up with nutrients that way. Im pretty sure by looking at the ammendments that it has very little coco. Im also uncertain if this is good to start from seed, might be too hot, depends mostly on how many nutes are already available from those ammendments. I do my own super soil but thats a pretty solid mix, the only thing I dont like is the blood meal but its just personal preference, its a good source of nitrogen, its just that antibiotics and animal hormones can acccumulate in blood meal if the source is an industrial farm.
 
I had problems too when I mixed 50/50 peat and coco, my solution was not mixing them, just using it as soil conditioner instead of using 2 mediums at once that have their own unique properties and different needs. Coco needs to stay wet all the time, while peat benefits from dry cycles, just one of many shenanigans.
And thats the advice I give to people that mix peat with coco, unless its only 10% coco like I said, stop doing it hahaha.

The probability of low coco amounts in that bag do not coincide with its position as the number 1 ingredient in the bag. Ingredients are always listed in the order of % of product.
