You may want to research coco as a medium first. I'd be concerned with all those wonderful microbes and such breaking down the coco which will open more and more cation sites causing issues after a while.
Living soil or coco. Pick one and run with it.

Peat moss would have been a better choice.

I’m not planning on recycling my soil, I don’t think it would break down fast enough to cause issues during the lifetime of a marijuana plant.
