pH Problems

This is my 1st grow and I have changed a ton of my setup since i started based on what I read and learned here. So here now is what I have

- 4 Plants Indoor in homemade DWC using 10 gallons of water (see pics)
--> Made using fish tank bubblers etc based following instructions on DIY
- 4 t5 flourescent lights above and 2 regular tubes in 2 corners
- 1 week into flowering (veg'd for a little over 2 months)
- using 12/12 light schedule
- All inside a homebox XS to hide and control smell (using fan to suck and blow air out and attached to carbon filter)

I cant seem to keep pH level. Every morning I check and is up around 6.2 or even a little higher. Then, I pH down it to about 5.2 and the next day it comes right back up. I am using nutes with pH buffer based on what I learned here, but it still always goes up. They seem to be growing OK and smell awesome, but I am worried that I am going to mess these beauties up fiddling so much with pH.

Is the a better way to stabilize pH?

BTW, I think I have all females. Can someone tell if I am right based on the attached pics?

5.8 < ph > 6.2......get used to having to adjust ph everyday. if your ph is going up, is usually because plants are feeding. if ph is going down, is usually because plants are drinking. 2nd pic is female.
