So i have some seedlings in soil/perlite mix in0,4l pots. I will transplant them to 2gal fabric pots when time has come.

Soil from farming store. Not bad quality. Also i have farming perlite. and Ordered biobizz coco .
I was thinking going 50/50 perlite coco mix. But a friend of mine who is an elder grower , recommended me to mix coco with soil and perltie and add some worm humus.

Whats your thoughts? Have you tried before . And how was it? whats its ups and downs?

You can add any organic matter to coco as far as soil, worm castings, guanos, manures... Etc. But once you add these types of organic material to coco the one thing you cant do is treat it like pure coco anymore.

What i mean by that is that you don't want to water it constantly like coco, and you cant keep it moist like you can with pure coco. Also it wont dry out as fast as pure coco with perlite and you HAVE to wait for it to dry out between waterings.

Ive been running in coco for 7+ years now and have tried everything damn near with coco, it good to mix stuff with coco if you are looking for certain outcomes, like not having to water as often, or not having to add fertilizer to every watering.

But if you want the same benefits and quick fast growth pure coco can give you if used properly, then i wouldnt mix anything but the perlite with it.

Me personally i use:

60% coco
40% perlite
tsp/ gal (by volume) of Dolomite Lime
tsp/ gal (by volume) of Elemental sulfur

And thats it.

But go ahead and use what you want, it wont hurt, just make sure you know how to water and work with the final product
