Stabilizing my PH

[Vache123]

First time DWC grower here. Got two WW seedlings in a 1 gallon container; I'll go bigger when the plants mature a little more. I'm really impressed with how much they've grown in a week, but there's one thing that concerns me, and that is a fluctuating PH. Last night I added some SensiGrow A+B to 450ppm, then PH'd to 5.8. I'm starting with RO water with PH exactly 7.

I just checked PH and it's 7. Is there some way I can stabilize the PH?

What did you use to lower the PH?

PH down. Bought crystalized from Walmart.

Ph is harder to maintain in hydro the smaller the res is. I'm using a 5gal bucket right now to feed 7 plants in a RDWC and the ph needs adjusted every couple days.

i got 30l pots and a 30l res and i adjust my ph every 2 days now, fuck having to do it every couple of hours

My 5/6 gallon dwcs need adjusting every four days or so. The ph stabalizes as the plant matures (FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED )

Hmm. After some research it looks like ph rising is a normal byproduct of plant feeding. I think I'll just upgrade to a bigger res.

True, and a larger rez helps too.
Certain nutes and nute combos will affect PH too.
When I add KoolBloom, my shit drops about 0.4 ppm's everytime, for a few days.
