Pre Charge Coco Coir?

You should always check PPM, get your PPM down.
TDS meters are not expensive.
Well worth it.
What nutrients are you using?

May ajust your PH it around the correct range but PPM is different mate. Your TDS is the strength of the nutrients.
I personally do not use AN due to the hype, price and how they overmarket to new growers, but anyways.
You should get a PPM meter and generally what they say on the bottle 1/4th strength for small plants and go from there.
never start at full.
Anyways, I suggest a PPM meter always if you can get one.
I dont go without one. ALl up to you, but take everything AN says with a grain of sale same goes for other PH perfect solutions.
Regardless of the PH you still need to know how much your giving and at what dosage in TDS.
If you afford it get one.

No worries!
Nutrients I use currently are House and Garden Coco A + B in Coco Coir obviously.

What I prefer to use is
Maxi Grow for Veg
Maxi Bloom for Flower
Kool Bloom for a PK boost late flower

I have herd many good thing about H& G with Coco Coir.
You could also use the Lucas formula, but I still prefer that above.

I also loved Blue Planet Nutrients.
Worked very well in my SoG Aero Grow Last Year.

Also, I choose to charge my Coco with around 200PPM or 2ml per gallon which is around 200ppm for me.
