It may be your pH meter. In my experience those type like you have there aren't be very accurate. An inexpensive digital one can be aquired from Amazon. It will be far more accurate. Your coco if it's out of the bag should be pretty much spot on pH wise. Just some suggestions that's all

What kind of coco are you using? Most bag brands these days don’t realllllly need to be ph balanced. I used mine out of the bag without rinsing it and just ph to 5.7-5.8 and they have been healthy as fcuk

Those are imo the most unreliable for ph testing.
you should have good enough coco not to worry about it. Are you also using CANNA nutes?

Coco is hydro... buy canna coco. It's ready to go and then read these 2 for PHing nutrients and watering. Coco is not soil so don't confuse the 2.

Last season one of the farmers one here helped me threw the whole coco feeding system making me aware that it doesn’t retain moisture so there a lot more forgiving in that,
He broke it down to root training in coco to build a thicker stronger root system, I’ll read threw these threads, I love coming back to this form to see what people are up to and learn new techniques, thank you aqua
