just a quick question for you: is your tap water city water? if so, do you let it sit for 24hrs to help dissipate the chlorine? we've had some people here have trouble with the plants and it turns out their water has a really high PPM with unknown levels of "crap" in it.
i use a 1/2 1/2 mix of RO water and well water. my EC is 0.2 which is fairly low and I normally don't have to worry about adding Cal/Mag because it's in my well water.
if you already know this, disregard but it might help others following along that aren't aware.

I started with just RO years ago. The reason I use half/half now is for 2 reasons: not having to add back cal/mag (I'm part Scottish and a bit cheap, laddy ) and I think that it holds pH steadier than just RO water alone. I also did a well analysis a few yrs ago and the contents were all within range.

if I had to guess, too strong on the EC.
