Is their some nutrients that have a PH buffer in them? where i don’t have to use PH Up or Down?
That will make the PH right?
or if not what’s the best Nutrients for the plants?
I was thinking General Hydroponics Flora series.
Any help would be nice

That is never going to happen, because whenever you mix up any nutrients, what determines what the final pH level will be before using pH up or down is contained in 2 variables, 1, how much nutrient was mixed into say a gallon of water, and 2, what was the base pH level of that gallon of water that the nutrient were mix up in. For example, say you had 2 gallons of water, and one had a pH base of 9.5 and the other had a pH base of 7.5 and you mixed the same amount of nutrients in each of those gallons of water, the resulting pH level for both those gallons of water with the same amount of nutrients mixed in would always be different.

I have been using AN Sensi Grow/Bloom which advertise themselves as 'pH perfect'.

I don't care about their advertising, but my tapwater after addition of these nutrients turns out to 5.9-6.0. So, perfect for me *shrug* and that's from 0.7EC up to 2.2EC.

Look up buffering and pH buffering.
