Thanks! I been thinking along the lines of mainly a coco/perlite mixture with myco powder mixed it and whatever else u think might amend a coco perlite mixture...I just do a veg room and clones right now. I like using
Dyna Gro at the moment, I need a fast turnover for clones and vegging and right now Dyna Bro works fast!
Just veg and clone? You don't flower? What do you do with the veg plants, juice them? Which is amazing! I juice my plants after flower!
Your plan works but if you don't mind can I entertain you with my thoughts for a sec?... I'll go ahead and post them but if you do mind then just ignore them:)
Any particular reason you want to use coco over sphagnum peat moss... both can be used and I used both but prefer spm. Here's an article

The problem with perlite is that it floats using lava rock or pumice I believe is a better choice and it provides trace elements. But you can use whatever.
A 50/50 mixture is better as a soilless grow meaning you're not amending and only using nutes.
If you wanna amend then use use 1 third coco or spm, 1 third aeration, 1 third earth worm castings or compost. Get the best of the later you can, there's a lot of shit ewc and compost out there if you're using them then you're losing out on a lot.
I'm gonna copy paste amendments cause it's easier than texting...
Clackamas Coot has done so much for our community, now is your chance to grow using his recipe and also support him for his sharing and knowledge. This kit is based off of Clackamas Coot's own soil mix and 10% of the proceeds will go directly to the man himself. In the past Coot has gotten no revenue for products on the market in his name and we at KIS Organics think it's about time for that to change.
In this Nutrient and Mineral Pack you will receive the following:
For Blending and Topdressing:
Malted Barley
For Mixing in Soil:
Crustacean Meal
Kelp Meal
Neem Cake
Karanja Cake
Basalt
Gypsum
Oyster Shell Flour
Apply at a rate of 2 cups per cubic foot or approximately 1/4 cup per gallon of the mix when mixing soil.
Coot's Soil Recipe per cubic foot of soil (7.5 gallons):
1/3 Sphagnum Peat Moss
1/3 Aeration Amendment (pumice, lava rock, perlite, vermiculite, rice hulls, etc..)
1/3
High Quality Compost and/or
Earthworm Castings
2 cups of Coot's Nutrient and Mineral Pack above
2 cups of Malted Barley (blend 1 cup into a powder then mix into soil, the other cup will be top dressed at a rate of 1/4 cup of malted barley each week starting in week 4. You will want to blend the barley right before applying it).
NOTE: The key to this mix is to use high quality compost or earthworm castings. The compost and castings portion contain the highest concentrations of beneficial microbes which are needed to break down the nutrients in to a plant-available form.
If using this amended soil then you don't need dyna grow, if you want fast then go dwc hydro.
For clones spm, aeration, kelp, malted barley powder. You don't need much when cloning. I prefer to use aloe vera and coconut water when cloning but you can just use aloe vera hell you can just use water
