You may want to start here: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/163510-coco-growers-unite.html Coco is a really interesting medium, one I've tried and used. I've since moved to a peat and coco blend, but my results are still in the testing phase. One thing I can say is that if you are on the fence with coco you should try it, its a very very forgiving medium and very clean lacking most bugs and parasites. The soilless realm is full of possibilities, once you try it I think you will be hooked!

The basics to coco growing are
1. pH your feed between 5.5-6.2 most usually aim for 5.8
2. Use coco specific nutes. You'd be surprised at how many people don't.
3. Get yourself a Cal/Mag supplement for later in flowering. You'll need it around week4 of 12/12.
And finally something I found to be more beneficial was giving 1 feed in 3 at a much reduced strength.
By this I mean that with coco you constantly feed every time you water so when you've been feeding at normal strength for 2 waterings water your 3rd one at half your normal strength.
Look into Trichoderma it works really well with coco.

Coco is the SHIT! Hands Down, best media for Yield. You get what you put into this stuff... With promix, you water till a little runs off and walk away for 3-4 days... With Coco, you gotta be on top of things daily... Even with 5 gallon buckets in flower, Im watering every other day... YOu will get the most explosive growth you have ever seen with Coco.. I also have heard all the speeches about using this or that.... bla bla... you my advice? Decide why your growing... Is it for just personal usage, to make $$ or both?? You want the most FIRE for your buck.... Grow in Botanicaire Coco, and use Advanced Nutrients.... If you dont care about yield so much, and want the absolute best tasting stuff ever, go with something organic like Canna... Ive used Soul Synthetics ($375 for the whole line) and got 3 Zips per plant.... I used Canna and it cost me about the same, and I got about the same, but it was danker.... I used Advanced Grandmaster Schedule ($1100 for the whole line) and I am averaging like 12-13.... Tastes great, looks unreal, and knocks u out... Just use a good seed....
