You should check the coco thread.

People are having good luck with modified lucas formula in coco that uses flora bloom and micro products. This is an old recipe and well tested. But there are many ways to do anything. Myself I use a base of 1/3 coco 1/3 perlite 1/3 composts and worm casts and add a few things to it for a organic mix (dolomite lime, bone meal, rock dust, diatomacious earth, guano).
