[coco][autopot] BioTabs and autopot - what to choose coco or soil?

[GreenBaby]

Due to frequent trips, I will have to switch to cultivation with automatic watering. I will cultivate automatic plants in 15l autopots with BioTabs fertilizers.
BioTabs suggests a mixture of coconut and perlite 50/50 for typical coco cultivation.
Or maybe it would be better to try the soil/coco mixture?

I will gladly hear what experiences you have with BioTabs and autopots.

@GrenBaby

very interested to see how this turns out for you mate, as I sometimes use autopots myself but have never tried biotabs

 

if you don't get many answers to your question then my advice would simply be to follow what biotabs suggest doing

with regards to the coco perlite and the added biotabs

I wrote to BioTabs, we'll see what they will write back.
There is almost no information on the internet about playing with coco/autopot/BioTabs, probably few people do it.

Mate, I honestly can't see how that isn't going to work, it's got to .

How good the end product is.....?  Well Your guess is as good as mine, but I've been using autopots for a while so any questions if you have on the actual working of the system fire away

Apologises if you already know what the autopot system is all  about

Just to add 

 I can't see any slow release tablet fertiliser being better than a solid bottled nutrient regime

I'm glad there is someone to ask for advice.I am just in need of information on how to start all the fun with Autopot, starting with the seed.
I read a lot about it, but it's still new to me, Coco and BioTabs are also new. I just want you not to screw it up, because I don't like unsuccessful crops very much.

The main problem is that the whole system (substrate, fertilizers, watering) will be new to me and I will be away most of the time. A bit of a difficult situation.

My idea is to plant the seeds in EasyPlug cubes.
The question of what size should I use 35mm or 75mm?
I have never tried it.

 

I doubt that I will be able to be at home for more than 7 days at the start of the growing, so I have to prepare myself carefully for the whole process to begin.
I will germinate the seeds away from home and put them in cubes. So that they will start to grow just when I get home.
Then I will have 7 days to start my plants and then leave again for 7-14 days. How many days after the seedlings show up do I start the autopot?

 

I've been growing plants for a long time, but I'm stuck with Biobizz and soil.
Due to the fact that I have three small cabinets, I will probably buy the Easy2Grow set - three double stands (3x2x15l) and one 47l tank.
AF FastBuds six plants - each different (not bought yet).
