Since you've got pre buffered and treated coco that your only sterilising due to it been sat for a year and wanting to kill any potential bugs I don't see why you'd need to buffer it at all.

When I first hydrate my coco from brick I use hot water. Add calmag 400ppm and Ph it to 6.2. I let it sit in the bucket awhile. Done. All the extra rinsing and double soaking is not needed. If u let the coco get to dry it will consume and need more calmag. Dont give it calmag unless u see your plant asking for it. It can cause lockout of other nutes.
It should be enough in your nutes unless plant calmag greedy.
