Coco and Nutrient Suggestions

I'm in the process of changing up my current setup, which includes soil type. I am thinking about using Coco, but I am not sure what nutrient lineup works with Coco. And to be clear, I don't intend to start dumb arguments, I have read about coco and keep hearing that coco is or might be brand sinsitive.

Does the brand of coco factor in? Some seem to have different ingredients then others.

The only local store I have is Fifth Seasons, which is good but that's it. Thanks for the help.

Running Gen Hydro flora series with the H3ad recipe: 6ml micro / 9ml bloom per gal veg&bloom to which I add a pinch of Epsom Salt (about 1g/gal), silica (1ml/gal) and humic acid (10ml/gal). Generally using a 75% dilution for veg and plants are loving it.

After thinking more about it, I can get nutes from anywhere but probably don't wish to pay shipping on blocks of coco. So picking up coco seems to need to come first. My choices appear to behttp://shop.fifthseasongardening.com/photos/product/c/canna-coco-growing-media-50-ltr-180px-190px.jpg for$25, http://shop.fifthseasongardening.com/photos/product/c/coco-block-botanicare-5-kg-180px-190px.jpg for $16.50, ($3.50 for a brick)or http://shop.fifthseasongardening.com/photos/product/c/cocotek-block-gh-5-kg-180px-190px.jpg for $12

Another question I cant answer on my own is how many solo cups(or whatever you use) does a bag or brick fill?

This next run I'm gonna get a big bag of the roots organic 707 and perlite.the bag is like 9 gallons and only 35$ . So for like 60 buck I can fill close to 6 5 gallon buckets provided I add enough perlite. I have a few other organically to amend with so I hope to go through veg without any feeding. ( only foliar feeding).thats my plan hopefully gotta have the funds.
