Soiless can be many other things than coco fiber like expanded clay, rockwool, peat moss, the list goes on.........
Yes you do need to add nutrients to a soiless grow, if your lookinjg for a reccomendation I like to use the line on "Earth juice" brand ferts, it's pricey, but cheaper than so many other brands, and it's certified organic. One problem with it though it is low on calcium, which is easy to correct in a number of ways, I use powdered oyster shell it's cheap and available at any pet store/animal feed store.

correction to my post, oyster shell wont be powdered when purchased (at least not that i've seen) it will be crushed, you have to powder it down yourself, and only use a little bit, it dosent take much

Promix= soilless. Also Fafrd, Sunshine, etc.

Basically, if there's nothing in there that's supposed to rot, it's soilless.

I like Pure Blend, Canna Terra.

It's a bit high on the K, but you should be able to get away with that if used properly. I would use less than 1/4 the reccomended dose, the numbers are way too high! My geography is a bit rusty, is the phillippines on the north or south hemisphere? I'm only asking to get an Idea of what climate and seasons you are dealing with.
