I'm thinking like 20% compost 30% wormcastings, 30% coco coir and 20% perlite

Personally I wouldn't use coco, if you are wanting to go soil. Coco has a different ph range.
Just pick up a bag of soil, mix some perlite, worm castings and add some lime.
Just keep it simple. Pot up from a seedling stage and each time you pot up, you are feeding them, so there is really no need for added nutes unless deficiencies start to show.

Organic soil is a combination of ferts. Bunnings have some organic mixes, warehouse not so much. I'll be honest here, I think you are over complicating the matter. Its just cannabis.
You can use any soil you want. I've used the cheap potting mixes from bunnings and the warehouse. They are just more prone to gnats, which you will get eventually anyway.

I tried paper towel method but found best results just soaking in a cup of water

Just put your seeds in moist soil. Don't do any of this silly paper towel nonsense.

If you don't plan on doing a super soil, a three way split of aeration (perlite, rice hull, lava rock, recycled glass), compost (fresh humate source) and base material (coco, peat moss)
I use amendments, because I don't use nutrient lines. I've started using Dragonfly Earth Medicine a bit, but that's all organics.
Add some insect frass, glacial rock dust (wear a mask when mixing), azomite, sea kelp, alfalfa meal, neem meal, and EWC. That should give you a fantastic base soil that shouldn't need much nutes.
Now, if you're using synthetic, forget everything I just said after the first sentence.
