NO SEEDS YET. JUST Wanna learn about my ph this is my first time growing in water.

This is what i did:

1 3/4 gallons water (PH of water from sink about 7.2-7.2)
Mixed in 1 3/4 teaspoons (Fox Fram Big Grow Took PH to about 6.9)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)
Checked PH 1 hour later (Reading was about 7.3-7.2)

I seen that theres was no change really in the ph over time. So then i added PH down to bring it down. It is now in the range of 5.9-6.2 i will go get a better PH testing kit 2morr i hope. I will check the the PH for the next 3 hours at least 2nite.

Is this normal any tips? I know when i do get a seed in there to start with 1/4 of the amount of nutes then add more in steps ever water change untill right amout of 1 3/4 teaspoons. Also the ph of the water will be 5.9-6.2 when the seed is in there.

Its been about 45 mins to an hour since i used the ph down it it looks its between 6.0-6.3.
Its been about 1 hour since the last test and the pH is still 6.0-6.3 (im starting to think i will put a seed in there in the next week i hope.
