I have noticed in flower that my ph is dropping to even as low as 4.8 Nothing different really. Has anyone experienced this? I top off about .5 gallons a day

You aren't even supposed to adjust ph with ph perfect nutes. I'd not worry about it unless you are actually getting problems with your baby girl. ;p
With a PH of 4.8 I would be worried regardless of what nute line I was running!
Right. I changed out the water. It was only 3 days old. I have been running a lower strength and changing my water every 4-5 days anyway. Based on the ppms in the water I am guessing the plant ate teh food and then the solution became unstable.
You should do some research on AN ph perfect nutes. I'm sure what you find will be surprising. The nutes are heavily chelated which means ph is not nearly as important. With these nutes you don't have to stress about keeping 5.8. ;D
I have been using them for years and I do understand that. But in all the years I have been using them I have never seen a acidic spike like this.
It did it again. Lasted about 10 hours and than bang back down to 4.8 W T F
srarting to think my 5 stage RODI is to pure for these nutes. I mixed up a small batch with my 8.2 tap it has 150 ppm. Will see if that stabilizes it.
So does your plant actually look like something is wrong with it or are you chasing this out of fear something will happen? I'm currently using ph perfect coco nutes in rdwc and I never adjust ph. Day 33 and I've checked ph only twice the whole grow. One time it was at 7.5~8 and my plant still looked great. Clay pebbles made mine spike and that has been the one and only time I've done a full res change. I use ro unit with 001~003 ppm water my tap is 350+. Good luck brother
yeah it had a cal mag attack a few weeks ago and bud production is way delayed. Like I said I have a real time monitor of ppm and ph and I get alerts on my phone same as I do for my reef aquarium. If water spill son the floor I get a text lol
