Hello Rayan! I have not grown in coco but I know others on here have so until they reply, here is a complete tutorial on growing in coco that may help you out: http://www.growweedeasy.com/coco-coir

The Rapid Rooters in that tutorial are optional. There is a link at the end of the paragraph that takes you to other germination methods. On that page, there is a part about growing directly in the grow medium (soil, coco, etc). That states:

Germination Method 2: Plant marijuana seeds directly in growing medium
Sometimes nature's way is the easiest way. In nature, marijuana seedlings would sprout in soil, and they would emerge as their taproots start growing down.

As a grower, you can also plant your seeds directly in your final growing medium. This works in all growing mediums, though some can be tougher than others.

One of the biggest benefits of planting your seed directly in the growing medium is you don't have to worry about shocking your young seedling during transplant. Because your seed is already in its final resting place, your new seedling will immediately start adjusting to the environment. Every time you transplant a sprouted seed, it can cause stress as the young plant needs to readjust its new surroundings.

Soil - Plant seeds a knuckle deep (0.5-1 inch OR 1.3 cm - 2.5 cm) in moist yet not soaking soil. Use a light or a heating pad to keep things warm. This is one of the easiest marijuana germination methods for beginners.

Coco Coir or other soilless growing medium - Plant in a similar way to soil

Hopefully some other members who have grown in coco will comment further. I know this is not the best information.
