Your PH going up and down is not bad just keep it in a good range of 5.6 to 6.3 . Mine is any where from 5.7 to 6.2 I'm not triping....
Good info and research.
However, you want your pH to fluctuate. I run lower than most and I let my pH float a range from 5.2 - 6.1.
Fluctuations are good as different nutrients are absorbed better at different ranges.
Constantly adjusting your pH is a good way to fuck up a res.
I bought an expensive medical pump doser that did A&B and PH.
I've never used it once. In fact I quit adjusting ph. My Aqua Flakes nute regimen always keeps my solution between 5.4 -6.8.(my plants couldn't be any healthier) I realized that trying to battle the solution down was in fact making my solution more "CHEMMY" and less stable. Its all about a stable batch of nutes. In MBB's if your nutes stabilize within the appropriate ph zone and your girls are healthy Don't Mess with it.
Also with the dosers I have heard horror stories of miss-calibration... You know if that machine dumps a shit load of ph down in your res while your at the movies your goofed.
give the system a try before you buy any expensive dosing equipment
Also make sure your chiller is big enough DON"T SKIMP
hope this helps :)
