the coco and perlite mix would be okay just make sure the coco is the correct ph before planting soak it in phed water and then check the run off and if it has changed adjust it to the correct ph again i belive in coco it about 5.8 to 6.3 someone correct me if im wrong im not expert only got a couple grows under my belt lol

Perlite is perlite. It's all just superheated volcanic glass. I think about the only variation is the general size of the pieces you want to use.
