Does anyone have or know of a recipe for notill that uses coconut coir instead of peat-moss? Or can I just replace the peat-moss using any of the good notill recipes?

Keep in mind that peat moss has a far better CEC than coco, which is why its preferred in notill mixes, that being said you can just exchange one for the other in a recipe if you'd like. If you're looking for a recipe just go with CCs mix or Jays, both are stellar IMO, as are many others. I'm currently using an alteration of CCs mix. As moses pointed it you get the benifit of some biology with peat as well which is nice. Neither peat or coco are very expensive, if you're worried about the environmental impact of peat, environmentally reasponible peat is available, but look at it this way, with notill you're going to be using it long term, unlike traditional cannabis cultivation. If you still decide to use coco a soil recipe with bentonite and other high CEC ingredients would be a good idea.
