What makes the ph go up really fast?

Does anyone know what makes the ph go up from 5.2 - 7.4 overnight :?:. I have a Growclone cloner and my ph goes up within hours of lowering it. It says to use spring water so I do. I have used this cloner for over a year and this is the first time Ive had this issue. I tried switching to tap but its still the the same. Do you guys think distilled will work and do you add something to the water like calmag if you do :?:! Thanks for any input!!

pH goes up because the plant is essentially shitting itself into the resevoir. A little H202 every now and then helps keep those bacterias from fluctuating the pH so much.

Any light getting to the reservoir? I found taking care of that can help to stablilize PH.
agreed found this out with gallon jugs... i ph'd them and put them on a shelf in my veg room... measured again 3-4 days later and ph was up 1-2 per jug
