I never heard of the brand of coco dude in the vid uses but it’s very intriguing. He’s using coco straight up as if it’s soil. Adding all dry amendments and garden line is already in it as if it’s potting mix.
Like you said normally it would be buffered with liquid calmag. His is buffered with garden lime.
But yea coco takes whatever ph you water it with. Meaning if you water with 6.2 water you have nothing to worry about
If you water with 5.0 water, the ph will be 5.0
If you water with 8.0 water, the ph will be 8.0.
You don’t need nematodes. Sticky traps work perfect against gnats. You’re not using soil so it may not be as bad, and fungus gnats, as well as all pests generally appear when you overwater. So as long as you spend time with them, and get used to their habits, you should be fine.
