Hi Carl,
I usually ph mine to about 5.5-5.8, I will make adjustments and wait 15 minutes via timer before checking it again. I find that after the 15 minutes its pretty stable, and if anything it will only go up not down(atleast in my case). But I rely on the safety that there is no way its going to just jump from within the safe range of 5.5-6.5 to outside of the range. I usually check every other day as the ph will climb up slowly. After about 2 days it will be back up at around 6.1-6.3 but still within safe limits.
I am a newbie but so far thru my experience this is what I know.
Example of phing for me.
Add 5 droppers (not sure how much ml but it works for me) then wait 15 min
Check where it is at and add more then wait 15 mins
repeat until i get it where it is. If I tried to do it constantly I would find myself getting angry trying to get it correct.
