I would say if you're going to try and treat it like a soil grow; perhaps. If you're going to try and handle it like a hydro grow, I'd say probably not. Coco is a beautiful medium, but it has it's quirks, as does soil, and said quirks aren't quite the same. Good luck friend.
Thanks CannaCountry, i'll be treating them like soil, also taking them outdoors and indoors, saving power on the offgrid scenario. I'm so new to this, but recently i've used coco, perlite and the compost, i was just wondering if adding the terra pro also would help more and at what percentages i should mix at.

I can understand why one might add perlite to either of the other two, but why would you choose to mix soil and coco?

Coco dries out much faster than soil which allows for more frequent irrigation and thus higher levels of oxygen being pulled into the root zone.
Canna Terra has very low amounts of nutes in it. Why bother would be my view...if youve had a successful grow without it, i wouldnt fix what aint broken. You'd have to ask a knowledgeable organic gardener tho if adding it would offer any benefit on your bennies and such.

Ive grown in Canna Terra several times. Its okay. Better than most premade potting mixes just by the sheer fact that it isnt full of wood chips.
But its still peat based. Peat is, well, mostly garbage imo. Its fine for full organics and outdoors but yeah it just takes forever to dry out.
