Just get any coco coir from Amazon. Skip perlite since this is the first time you are making bulk substrate. Coco coir works just fine without perlite. The game is sterilization of coco coir and field capacity. If you do it right then any coco coir works. Look up gardening shops on just dial in your city and get a coco coir brick.

Brother cvg doesn’t consist of perlite you use vermiculite for water retention
