No matter which substrate soil, coco, hydro there will be a learning curve. You are in the right place we teach growers to be farmers
.There is much to learn and not all of the information you will get here will apply to your situation. Coco is an excellent substrate but it is hydro and hydro is more work.
True living organic soil in a large enough pot can be a water only grow from start to finish. You can get buy with 5 gallons for an average Auto but I would go with 7 gallons just to be safe. Real living organic soil takes time to make and therefore is expensive up front. If you have a place making your own is the best option. It can take 6 months or more depending on your recipe.
Pre-charged soils have enough fertilizer to get you started and then you start feeding after a couple of weeks. Some pre-charged soils are too Hot (too much fertilizer) for seedlings. Be careful of this. It is sometimes very difficult to tell when to start feeding and may take several grows with the same soil to get it dialed in. Many plants end up here in the infirmary in pre-charged soils.
Next is Coco Coir This is a specialized form of hydroponics. Coco has a calcium cation deficiency and can be salty when new. So it must be washed and then pre-charged with 150 PPMs of Cal-Mag. It requires a little additional Calcium throughout the grow. Other than that it is the same as hydroponics.
Hydroponics is the the most time consuming, it must be tended to every day and even many times a day. Deficiencies or lock-outs can happen very rapidly but they can be corrected rapidly as well. It takes a lot of practice to get it right in hydro but it will grow amazing plants.
