This will be my 2nd time growing with organic dry amendments. The 1st time I used coco and perlite from Plagron and organic dry amendments 4-4-4 and 3-9-4 from Dr. Earth and got some decent results.

My question is could I achieve the same results if I replaced coco with lightmix or royalmix from plagron and continue using dr. earth dry amendments. I intend to grow autoflowers

That's what people did for a long time until just recently when coco became super trendy and popular.

I used coco 40% and 60% bagged 3:1 peat compost loam mix for autos last run, had earthworms in it. Just prep coco prior so you dont get high sodium levels or it will strip your calcium and magnesium. You can use dry amendments in any soil.

I would shoot for a ph of 6.1 to 6.3 if its a 50/50 soil/inert mix. More inert at 75% I'd go with 6.0, more soil at 75% I'd go with 6.5
