I prefer coco with perlite, with AN coco nutes(mostly base very little additives.)Every one hates on AN but it’s just easier and no ph problems it has been consistent but then again every time I’ve tried dirt it was a disaster.

Another option somewhere in the middle is fox farms coco loco, it’s says it’s coco but it has lots of other stuff in it and I like using it and have had great results with it alone or mixed in with coco.

you're going to get fungus gnats in the summer, unless you're very meticulous (nice way to say anal) about letting the tops of your pots dry out. put a fan blowing (gently) across the tops of your pots, it helps them dry out faster, and the wind fucks with the gnats. some DE or gnatrol on top of you medium also helps, and they go for the yellow sticky traps, which helps keep the population down, too. but they'll go in and out of your drain holes as well, they're pervasive, but you can easily keep them under control with a few simple steps. if they get very bad, pull a stocking over the bottoms of your pots to cover the drain holes, and tape it in place.
not a single lie in all of what was said. honesty is priceless.
