pH buffer? needs to last 3 weeks

Hey guys,
I have to leave my grow for 3 weeks.

I have LED's so it won't burn down and its in a tent with a large tray under it if the pumps malfunction
I made a reservoir to pump nutes in with an overflow so it will get topped off to 6 gallon mark every day with water

I'm using a Stealth Hydro Bubbleponics system (I know, cheaper to build your own, etc.:roll:)
with Stealth Hydro Nutes
They nutes balance pH pretty well but I'm worried since I'm gone I don't do a res change every now and then it will go into nute lock from pH:cry:
The reservoir is aerated and all and has cannazym to prevent root rot

Sooo question is... how to I buffer? Is it possible? Should I make my res acidic to counteract?
What will happen if I leave it for 3 weeks? I don't want to kill it

thanks + toke on, dudes

according to the grodan website throwing a half cut up lemon in your res will help keep it down while on vacation. I never tried it. Better measure how much acid it lets thru. GL.

That is an interesting idea... I wonder though, might the lemon grow mold or start leaking particles that clog my pump?
