I would say it should work fine. Just keep an eye on whether the soil is drying out too fast.

I use a cutom mix

1/4 Coco Coir
1/4 Hydroton Expanded Clay
1/4 Miracle Gro Organic Potting Soil Mix
1/4 Black Kow Composted Cow Manure


Works great!

So far a 70/20/10 mix of coco coir , perlite (NOT BIG N CHUNKY), and hydroton has worked well for retention/run to waste ratios for a hand watered show in 10 1 gallon Cylinder pots. In previous shows my buddy has used custom made organic soil similar to ocean forest in chelates and traces and always had better water retention when using any amount of coco esp when aeration balanced out with hydroton.
