lol my way takes quite a while ! But .07 EC tap water seems perfect.. The preparation for getting the coco ready takes a while and is labor intensive, but if you do it correctly it will be fine.

Since you probably washed it correctly, I would dilute it in half until the ppm rests around 300-400 (that would be basically just cal-mag)
add 300-700 PPM of base nutes
Then PH it. You will need to continually adjust PH until it stops moving. This is the potassium cation sites exchanging with the cal-mag and nutrients (maybe just nutrients) and the PH will drop.

Here is a good video about how the cation sites exchange http://www.cannagardening.com/videos/coco_and_buffering
which scale?
 
I run coco and have for the last 10-15 years.

Always PH the water to around 5.9-6.4 whether flushing or feeding.

For CALMAG. After you add your regular Coco nutrients add 25-30ml per 5 gal of water every feeding
I read and heard from everyone else you add cal mag before base nutes always. You seem like a journeyman so why do you say after?
