Having nutrients available for the plant is not feeding.. If you would liken nutrient availability to a bowl of soup. A bowl of soup you can eat only with straws because you don't have a spoon. The roots are Straws and the Ph is the thickness of the straws. So different sized parts of the soup get sucked up by the straw depending on the thickness(PH). It's a bit complex but plants intake through Osmosis and Transpire. The nutrients are like the building blocks of life but plants like us are made up of mostly water. But what's more important is PH and and not over doing things.. Balance..

The best solution for dropping PH.. Is too add water to bring the balance back. Adding more nutrients raises the EC but it also increases thing like Nitrogen Toxicity/excess and Balance is more important to achieve. Don't shoot for that one steady exact perfect number. Balance is Key.

I think the problem has to do with the composition of the soil you are using. It would be good to know the composition of the substrate to pinpoint the issue.
It turns out that clay soils are made up of laminar crystals of silicon, oxygen, and aluminum that have very negative charges on their surface. These negatively charged crystals will be able to attract positively charged nutrients, preventing the plant from absorbing them. This will cause a drop in pH (acidification).
The solution would be to either change the soil if you are in the vegetative stages of the plant or, if not, increase the number of nutrients so that they reach the plant.
I hope this helps you. 😊
