ph issues DWC help

i have an eight plant dwc set up with HESI HYDRO nutes
and all the boosters that they sell
my ph is set to 6.0 but it goes to 7.0 in one day
ive tried lemon juice and that just screws up my nutes and leaves a light foam on the top but have stopped that after the first day
i have also used ph raising solution but im afraid to use alot of it
ANY ONE HAVE ANY WAYS TO BRING MY PH BACK TO 6.0 WITH OUT A PH LOWERING SOLUTION
thx

you using tap water?

Go out and buy some ph up and down. Your water will chill out after a while, just keep up with it right now.

Why not a pH lowering solution?

use sodium free seltzer water... it has a ph of 4.4.... it will lower it.. I would just use ph down though... check water temps too... what do roots look like.... and run your ph at 5.6 to 5.8

wow .... bunch of rookies huh.

USE [COLOR="R[U][/U][/U]ed"]Vinegar[/COLOR] for a ph down works great and doesnt mess anything up...lol lemon juice

Vinegar is the best for ph down

Yes start out with just the base nutes and knock off using "all the boosters that they sell" at the same time.

Start with just the basics. Learn the system, work your way up after you see what is actually beneficial and one at a time you will find out what makes your ph go crazy all the time.

Too much crap. Overdoing it is a very common mistake and always makes things worse. And stop trying to use weird stuff for Ph. You need real ph adjuster for hydroponic use not any other crap and then you should end up only needing a little if your water is acceptable to start with. The only other possibility is if your medium or plastic or whatever is throwing the ph off, like how rockwool does.
