Thanks for your help brotherIf you have adequate aggregate/aeration pretty much all peat or coco/compost and aggregate mixes hold enough air when saturated. These potting mixes hold plus 25% air even at the stage of actively running off so I've never had any issues with overwatering. In fact I water everything daily from the day one and never had any of these issues overwatering. Most of the time my issues come from drybacks as the EC rises and pH swings as the moisture content lowers, leading me to water every day regardless to keep steady pH and EC.
Pests are controlled by the predator mites in the potting mix. Hypoaspis miles will eat gnat larvae and other larvae in the medium. Being inside I've never had any pests bar gnats or the odd flat mite though so it's not too bad tbh..
