soil-media Mixing Coco with soil?

B

Do or don't?
 
Well, that's kind of a hypothetic question, 'cause it's already done with the first of my transplants for this year. I made a mix of roughly 75% Coco and 25% soil.
I wanted something not as heavy and compact as soil, so this was my solution :-)
 
I searched here and google'd a bit, but it's never as simple as just 1 answer :-)
The thing is, i'm loaded up with Hesi nutrients, but for soil, not hydro. Was gonna use them anyway, maybe just an increased or decreased dosage (which is right then?)
 
Do YOU think is it something i should continue doing to my next "batch" of transplants?
Any other benefits or drawbacks you can think of?
 
 
Most coco specific nutrients have a slightly different ratio, higher Ca and Mg. You might be able to get away with a simple supplement, the dreaded Cal-Mg.
 
At the ratio you're chosen, I would feed them like coir rather than soil re: consistent, low EC every watering.
