It's hard to pH RO water so adding some tap water or very mild nutrients can help stabilize the pH of what's going in. Are you letting your nutrient/water sit for a while after adjusting the pH? Some nutrients are very acidic and if you don't wait a while the pH going in could be lower than you thought. Mix the batch, let it sit for a while and retest before using.
I'm doing better but I don't know how much more progress there will be, I still need to start my rehab. Thanks for asking and I'm glad you're healing too...
