I expect you haven't tried coco yet? I've found it definitely easier than managing soil... no over watering, no compaction, better thermal insulation, faster growth and bigger buds. And pH? Well I haven't had any problems at all, never had to adjust it and this year haven't even checked it yet, but I will before flowering, just to be sure. What more could you ask for?

The thing that got me to try it in the first place is that a coco and perlite mix (even when sodden) is much lighter than pots of soil, with arthritis that is an important factor.
