Ok this isnt my first time growing, and I am very good a keeping an eye on everything in my room yet one problem every cycle happens and i havent been able to find the answer to it yet.

Heres some backround info for youall out there

Growing: NYC Desiel
I use a mixed system Drip Fed / Deep water culture
Keep PH :anywhere 5.2 allow to drift up to 5.9
PPM currenty 3rd week flower useing Foxfarm Nutes Tiger Bloom big bloom
800-1000 ppm

Now heres my question. So normally during the vegative stage i have to add PH down because my solution will always push up couple points a day.

Ive noticed with all grows that bout 2 weeks into flowering the PH steadys then starts reversing and goes down about a point a day.

Now can someone explain why this process happens

I understand that the plant changes and stops upward growth and starts to flower has alot to do with this change but exactly what is happening IDK

I have taken readings with both veg cycle nutes and bloom nutes and its about the same PH wise i dont think thats the case
