Transplanting; I would like to know how YOU would mix these products (how much of each) in a 5gal fabric pot using cup scale measurement for the purpose of transplanting? Should any of them be used for just top soil / just lower base? In what order? Or mix throughout? how much water afterwards? Can I use my FF nutes still?

Are you going to grow Strictly Organic? If so I would not use the Coco coir. I was taking more of your soil mixed in with some peat moss, so your bacteria has something to feed on while it's growing. As far as the ratio of perlite I would generally mix in half a bag of perlite per bag of soil. After you mix it real good just look at it and if it looks like it needs more add half of the rest of the bag that's left. You don't want too much you just want to make it to where it breaks up the soil so does not get compacted. Think of the perlite as morphe like little spacers in between the soil. I hope this helps cheers!

Everyone has their own opinion on how they do their grow, I would return the Coco and stick with the soil and perlite. Again that's just my opinion from my experience it's a lot easier for me. You got to find your Niche on how you want to grow.
