I made the switch from sphagnum moss to coco with 30% perlite and, “I’m in love with the coco!” I’ll never switch back after my most recent harvest! I found the root growth to be far superior in my side-by-side small test experiment and made the change instantly. Cheap coco is where you will run into Cal/Mag problems. Buying coco that is washed and buffered is what you want. There are many brands that are made for cannabis. I use Happy Trees Premium Coconut Coir, but there are many good brands out there like Canna Coco. I had zero Cal/Mag issues throughout 9 and a half weeks of flower for a large Notorious THC plant that I was extremely happy with both the roots and fruits, and I credit a lot of that to listening to YouTube videos of the DGC show and the positive results I was seeing/hearing about. It’s great for seedlings if you don’t over water. The color change it makes when wet and dry makes it easy to determine when to water and makes it easy to teach. Over watering is probably the biggest mistake new growers make so if I have to have someone come over and water my gardens it’s easy to teach them how and when to water/feed. I absolutely love it and will use it until something better comes along. For me and my grow style it just works so much better for me. Hope this helps you out with your decision.
