What would be recomened to use as a buffer to stabilize the ph considering the ph only creeps up?

First of all i like to say, THANK YOU Roseman for taking the time of posting such a long response and everyone else who has chimed in. I'd like to say that my problem is not so much that im trying to chase the perfect ph level. My issue is with not being able to get the ph level from my...

I have two grows with rockwool slabs on dutch trays. I did soak them before i started using them. I just didnt relize how important it was. I tought running the system for a few hours would be enough to neutralize the rockwool. Any insight on the impact of the algae on ph?

There are 24 buckets and i used roughly 75 pounds(almost 2-45lb bags).

Unfortuantely, i did not soak the rockwool for a couple of days but once i set up the buckets i ran ph balanced water for hours. I know thats not exactly the same but that was almost three weeks ago. Is it possible after hundreds of gallons of ph adjusted water that the rock wool is still...

my roots are not yet at the soultion either but the soution at the bottom of the bucket, at least in my case, is going to have the same high ph.

I cant seam to get my ph to stay down:wall: I'm on my fifth week of veg and my plants are looking pretty sad. :-(This is my third grow but the first time using this set up. Built me a new system on advice of the guys at my hydro store but I'm regretting it big time! Here's my setup: **24...
