Question Hydro Ph Q?

I Need Help!

--OK- The problem is - I ph the water/nutrients to 6.0 then by the next day(24hrs) the ph will raise 2 points to a 7.5 then again the next day. So what exactly is the problem here? I know that during flowering the ph will raise as it has in the past but this is kinda extreme dont u think? I'm not a beginner at growing but i am new to the hydro style. My set up before was aeroponics style, (misters in a contained bin) and i got wonderous results with very little nutrient problems, but the maintence was too much for one person. Everyday i would have to check the misters for clogging. So i decided i wanted to try a setup without any chance of cloggin. So i went to an nft hydro style. Bucket with pump runs water thru 1/2" pvc then into 4 seperate 4" pvc runs which are 5' long. Which all run down into a gutter and thus back into the bucket. (I use metanaturals organic nutrients) Any help would be gratefully apperciated.
