Is a subculture/bacteria necessary in coco using general organics nute line?

I am extremely confused. I have looked everywhere for the answer to this question and cant find what I'm looking for.
Here is my situation. I'm using the general organics line, and my medium is 50/50 coco/perlite. I have not amended my medium with anything else, no myco, subculture, bacteria, compost, etc.. I am brand new to to organics and was under the impression that the general organics line didn't require any of these things in your medium. Adding to the confusion is that every single person I see talking about this subject is referring to growing in soil.
Do I need to add something to my medium, as in remix it?
Can I just add subculture to the feeding schedule instead?
Or can I run the GO line all by itself in the medium with nothing else?

My seedlings have sprouted and are about to hit the first set of true leaves. I transplanted my cubes into the pots and I was about to start feeding today but this question came up before I could.

Please save me from my incompetence RIU!

i personally wouldn't use organics with coco. treat coco as hydro and use hydro nutes would be my suggestion.

check out H3AD's formula for coco. about as simple as you can get.

I would like to stay on the organic path. I have previously used hydro nutes and am trying to switch to organic, so this seemed like a good half way transition point. Plus I already bought the whole GO line GO BOX...

My main question is, does the GO line require your medium to be inoculated? Or can i just use it in a sterile medium?

if you want to really be organic, then don't use anything in a bottle, what you are using is DERIVED from organic materials and meets the MINIMUM requirements for an organic label. You ARE NOT organic. Organic is a living SOIL. coco is used to maximize the use of bottled nutes.
here is the difference.
organic, you feed the soil, the soil feeds the plant.
bottles, you feed the plant.

i'm not positive, but i'm pretty sure you can't inoculate coco. good luck with the organics!

I used to use mycorhizzae in my older coco grows. Didn't seem to make a difference and was a waste of money. I have plenty left and will use it if i do an outdoor grow ever, or use soil. I doubt I'll ever leave coco, other than for experimentation.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful at all, really. But I feel like everyone is avoiding the main question I have haha.

Based on what you said chuck estevez, the bottled nutes in the GO line are not really organic, I get that. I had said that this was a halfway transition point for me coming from hydro nutes on my way to full organic.

What I want to know is, can I just feed the GO line to my medium and nothing else? Or does it require a subculture in the medium?
Are the nutrients in the GO line readily available for the plant roots to uptake (like hydro nutes)? Or are they a traditional organic nutrient supply that needs to be broken down by a subculture of bacteria for them to be used by the plant?

I appreciate everyone's responses by the way.

Were you using organic nutrients?

No point in adding the microbes. There's nothing to break down. No humus to store the ions. No predators to eat the microbes and release their payloads.

the answer is, yes,

Rrog iis correct, but if you feel the need, a small handful of Bio Tone from Espoma and top dressed will inoculate the mix.

probably won't work to well in coco though.
