coir is great for sure. peat moss is good too but cannot be reused as well as coir.
definitely add some sort of compost unless your trying to go soilless. I couldnt recommend using your own compost as compost indoors can be sketchy. your better off buying some black gold or something.
Worm castings and bat guano are great additives to something like this!

Peat can't be reused at all, unless it's composted IMO.
I've grown in ProMix quite a bit and noticed after 3-4months my pots are 2/3 full, after beating out the rootball it's more like 1/2 full. The ProMix left is dense and shitty.
Coir on the other hand doesn't break down nearly as quickly.
