Hydro-Organic Questions!

I'm currently gardening with a full earthjuice lineup, and wondering about some things if you guys could help me.

Temperature of my solution is around 21-24C, I mix with 1 tsp/gallon of grow and catalyst, 3/4 tsp/gallon of bloom and microblast (every other week). My question is about pH:

I've heard from some friends that when growing organic to just ignore pH as the solution will take care of itself, but I'm a little hesitant to do that. Right now my plant is a seedling and it isn't growing as quickly as I'd like, two weeks in from starting germination and it is just growing its first true leaves, and isn't looking too good. I'm wondering if there are any experienced hydro-organic growers who can tell me if I'm over fertilizing, caring too much about pH (I try to keep it around 5.8-6.1, but it increases a lot... even daily. If I miss 12 hours it can go up to around 7.6) or anything else.

Thanks for the help, I'm really worried I'm doing this wrong and almost want to switch back to soil because having to adjust the pH twice daily is a pretty big pain in the ass.

I hear you are not suppose to give nutrient to seedlings anyway! not sure how it goes for hydroponic though
 
They don't really have a strong smell after brewing, but I'm still hoping for some info! I'm doing light fertilizing because I read that seedlings in hydro do need a little ferts or they'll die.
