Why do you think you need to raise the CH? There is no minimum CH required in a vinyl pool.
You can test it to make sure it is not too high, but beyond that nothing to worry about.
Great news! I did my first test tonight and just opened my pool a couple of days ago . My reading are
Fc 1
Ph 7.2
Ta 80
Ca 50
Cya 40
My water is blue cloudy going to add 10% liquid chlorine tomorrow 3g 2qts and 1lb2oz Of borax sound about right?

I would suggest a SLAM Process with cloudy water and your FC being well below target.
Why would you add Borax?
Why would you add Borax?
Pool math told me to the liquid chlorine I put 9 gallons in yesterday so I guess I am doing a slam because pool math told me to add three more gallons for the slam like I say I am in the beginning stages of learning this. Really enjoying this blog been staying up to midnight reading it for lest week probably.
Personally I would leave the PH alone. It will creep up on its own.
Since you have cloudiness, I would get up to SLAM level until the water clears, you pass the OCLT and your CC is .5 or less.
Chlorine add looks about right.

It’s easy to get caught up in all the threads, isn’t it!

Enough to raise you FC to the level needed. Pour it slowly into the return stream from the pump. Use your brush to mix the water if you wish after adding.
The amount Pool Math told you to add. Just pour slowly in front of your return while pump is on, and leave pump on for a while after to mix water.
You don't have to do everything that PoolMath "says" 
It is just a calculator, you need to know what levels you are targeting and why.
