What are you using to lower the pH?

Pot grows fine between 5.5 - 6.5, with 5.8-6.0 being best.

I've found that a generic liquid pH down works best for me. Any hydro store would carry it.

That may be your problem. It does lower it, but it's not very stable.

Get some liquid pH Down & you'll be golden!.

I too use Bontanicare Pro Grow & Pro Bloom, and the liquid pH down is very stable with these products.

I change my buckets once a week and my pH is stable for the entire week and this is adding a 1/2 gal of water to each bucket per day. I add one tsp to a gallon of water and then I pour it into my buckets.

Hope this helps!
