I think it might be the clear color container you are using. I been told you should always use a light proof container. I covered mine with foil tape. I made sure I had no light leaks in my container. The reason is the roots hate light, its not good at all. When you see people going hydro. The tubs are always a solid color or a black bucket.

Black out the rez, you can insulate it using Reflectix if you have water temp issues.

IMO those PH drops are not accurate enough for hydro. A small change on the scale of PH is huge changes to a plant, your scale jumps an entire PH point at the range you need to be in.
