I really do dig how you reuse creative things into your garden. I'm just comfortable with soil I guess. I'm researching true organics, but it's not cheap to grow that way. LolMost folks use 100% perlite in their hempys. Over here ---> Hempy Headquarters They are testing some super coarse perlite.
------------------------
I chase healthy roots. The roots I got in rockwool with successful germinations were bright white, fuzzy, and robust. I had more success than failure. Just a few too many failures. I may revisit rockwool when cloning time comes along, seems like it would fit into that niche very nicely.
I have experience with coco, it was available very cheap ($3 brick of Burpees) as were the fabric pots (about $5/100) . I felt comfortable making the purchase. The $25 worth of lava rock I bought a couple months ago should last me a couple of years. The nutrients are inexpensive and very effective (spent less than $25 in about a year). Most money invested here is in lights and air circulation/odor control.
In short, I am a penny pincher
