So I'm having trouble adjusting my ph on my rockwool. Every time I feed them I give them balance ph with nutes but every time i check the ph its around 7. I just recently recovered from ph fluctuation and nute burns from my hydroton hydro drip system. I switched my set up to Rockwool thinking it was much easier =/. How can I balance the PH?

From what I have read, the pH levels rises on its own after a while.
Also, before you test the pH, once you're done mixing your nutes with your water, let your solution sit for about 15minutes, that way your readings will be more accurate.
I'm not sure if its recommended to test the pH daily, but that is what I'll be doing on my first bubbleponics setup. Even though it may not be necessary, I would like to understand each method as much as I can, that way, I can get a good feeling of what I should be doing on my next grow.

Man i just soak mine in 5.9ph water I never worry about balancing this or that in my rock wool while soaking. Never an issue.
Besides your nute line may not have suitable ph buffers to help stabilize it. When you induce any kind of nutes to a reservoir you are going to effect the ph in so way.
