Coco holds salt well so be careful. Good luck, coco is very rewarding.
Seedlings are looking horrible after transplant!

The key is to not overfeed which many people do.

I found, the powder version of the GH pH up is really a necessity, with the Maxi series powder nutes.
You found something that is more suitable for your situation, so that's what really matters

My plants get nutrient water every feed, 6 times a day, on a bottom feed. Then I water through the top at least once a week to flush old gasses and salts out.
If you are going to top feed the entire grow, I would alternate between water and nutrients. I also see people get great results just giving nutrients once a week and water the rest. Coco holds most of the water on the surface, ready to drink.

I just use blumats. Constant drip feed. No runoff ever. 600 - 800 ppm nutrient solution in the reservoir. That's including what's in the tap water. I've been growing this way for years with great success and I only have to refill the reservoir once or twice a week.

I like them. They didn't cost much and I think they were worth every penny.

That's cool. I haven't seen anything like that. I prefer just using a watering pot. I've used drip systems before and they end up being a pain because I change my garden configurations too much.
P.S I'm switching to ProMix HP so I don't have to worry about watering 7 or more times a week. Now I'll be watering a few times a week.

So I switched to Advanced Nutrients "ph perfect" 3 part Micro > Grow > Bloom and my plants recovered 100% without doing jack all to my PH or even measuring PPM or anything.. I just dump 2 ounces of each into my 5 gallons of RO water and feed every other day and the plants are exploding with growth and have HUGE fan leaves, like HUUUGE.

Update: Plants are fantastic and haven't had any issues since continuing using Advanced Nutrients Micro>Grow>Bloom as recommended per the Bud Labs App for iOS. Yes they're big for Auto Flowers but that's how I roll.

No, I've grown using the TSW-2000 panels for the last couple harvests. I go 100% brightness and keep the lights @ 24" throughout the entire life and harvest in ~90-100 days from seedling depending on strain of AutoFlower. I've been yielding 7 oz plants in 5 gal pots of coco using Advanced Nutrients MGB alone with no other additives (best flavor & smoke; additives stay in the plant unless the plant begins to eat itself during starvation period e.g "flush").
