 What next for this sapling (NEW UPDATE May 19th with pics)

This is a new project for me, I normally only grow shrooms, but a freind gave me a tonne of seeds so I thought I would take advantage of the Blazing Spanish sunshine and grow only my balcony, as it is pretty much legal here.
I started with just some basic substrate, but I think it's now time to transplant to a bigger pot. I have the following materials available to me, and would like so advice on what to use.
composted horse manure
vermiculite
perlite
universal substrate
coco coir
coffee grounds
Which of these are useful, and in what balance should I use them?
UPDATE!
As you can see she is doing well. I bought some nutes for her (cellmax bio-organuc grow) and transplanted her into a bigger pot.
NEW UPDATE!
I think things are looking OK.
She is in a bigger pot and seems t0o be enjoying the nutes.

coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite. Go to the hydro forum and read hankys coco growers thread. You'll need to buy some nutrients but out of the mediums you just listed, coco is the way to go.

it looks like the plant is in a good potting mix that it likes very much
perhaps you should simply transfer it to a larger pot with more of the same

It is about a month old. It just sits on my balcony, I give it a water every 2 days and a spray twice a day (maybe not neccessary, but its just a habit I picked up from growing mushrooms!).

agreed!
has it been outside since seed?
what strain? if you said im sorry for being blind.
she likes soil. keep her in soil. get a bigger pot. fill it with your soil and perlite(some verm if you want) and just dig out a hole in the center the same size as the pot that its in. flip it over(the roots should keep the soil ball intact. then flip it into the hole in the big pot. fill in the spaces. WALLA!
nothin to it.
buy some nutes for her too

Dont spray her while she has sun on her, shes not a mushroom, and water on leaves is not good for plants during sunny periods. Its kind of like a magnifying glass on an ant.

it's looking great
you should have gone with a much bigger pot though, soon you will have to transplant again!
