nutrients do that. I like to aerate my nutrients in water for a day or two also to allow for this. good luck!

Yeah don't worry about small changes the adjusters make but that's why you want to put just the right ph up or down in and not play with it back and forward.

Exactly. Distill your water for 24 to 48 hours then add your nutes and when PHing add the PH Up or PH Down very little by very little so that your not adjusting it the other way.
