"I think what he is trying to say is that mixing mediums that have different requirements for feeding is possibly going to be problematic. And certainly looking at your plants the evidence suggests he may have a point. You see coco and soil (compost here) have different water retention properties, one holds nutrients and the other does not. For those reasons alone the kinds of ways you feed a plant grown in Soil is different from the way you feed a plant grown in Coco. Adding so many different variables is not ideal.
I would suggest that you choose one medium, soil or coco and stick with that. Soil would be the easier option as that requires less daily input from the grower. Soil will also buffer the Ph so no need to mess with Ph at any point. Coco need not be that taxing as a feeding option but does require particular hardware and types of feeds, it is however going to be more demanding than soil is."
