Coco prefers to stay moist. Only had problems when I let it dry out completely. Plants use the nutrients in the water but don't absorb all the moisture. Also, the combination of coco and cmh lighting causes calmag deficiency. Calimagic or calmag+. But remember that calmag+ will add nitrogen. Good in veg but takes up space in nutrient profile for bloom cycle. I started with a PH 5.8, but had to raise it to 6-6.2 where calcium and magnesium are better absorbed.
If you want some very proven nutrients, use the Canna coco line. Use their 2part base nutrient, Rhizotonic for sure, and Cannazym. Dontworry about using cannaboost or their p/K boost stuff. Those ones are very expensive and similar items out there are cheaper.
