thanks all.
update
kit al set-up (Basic Mars Hydro TS600) with an additional oscillating fan.
currently germinating, -A HulkBeryy Haze from Royal Queen Seeds - using the paper towel method. Succesful so far, seed is open, 18 hour soak and 12 hours on paper so far.
will be growing in 60 coco, 30 perlite and 10 worm mix, starting in a small pot and then switching to a fabric one that came with the kit
nutrient wise, I will be following the Canna Coco A B and their product range. Additionally some liquid silicon, BAC Funky Funghi, and Aptus Calmag Boost
Will be starting with Distilled water during the early grow, and then switching to Rainwater hopefully - my tap water (dutch) is over 9ph, so one less adjustment
please feel free to comment and advise
thanks so far

Hey Maz mate,
Ignore the PH of your tap water (as PH will change with nutrients etc and can easily be adjusted). What you want to be basing your decision for alternative water supply is the EC of your tap water. Do you have an EC meter at the min? If your planning on growing in Coco I would recommend getting one and testing your tap water before you start spending money on H20.
Personally I have grown to HATE perlite especially in the concentration you are planning on using and I would replace that with 20% clay pebbles and 10% perlite but that is just my preference. Never used a worm mix and not sure how beneficial that would be in a Coco grow? Hopefully others will chime in on that one as eager to know how it would work etc.
I like the idea of the Fabric Pots & Air Pots so they should treat you well hopefully.
Seems you have already done your research and seem pretty much ready to go so hopefully start a grow diary mate and I will be following along for sure.
Wishing you all the best buddy.
