I find bottled is more stable then using natural methods. If you do go natural try to get a mix as it will be more stable. Most PH down will contain phosphoric acid, citric acid, and mono ammonium phosphate If your getting a big swing then you might have some light leaks creating growth in your water. In dwc you should have your PH range between 5.5-6.5 and mix your solution within the range of 5.8-6.2. Generally your feed and ph will go in opposite directions. So if your over feeding then your EC/PPM will go up and your PH will go down. Under feeding EC will go down and PH will go up. But with a plant your size It would not change much. Food looks a little strong but I am not familiar with that brand. Generally you want to use 1/4-1/2 of what it says on the bottle/feed chart. As your plant gets bigger and your adding more food your PH will stabilize because you have more minerals in the water to keep it stable.

Just use GH ph down. It’s just a “natural” as anything else. It will be much more stable. There’s no point in an unstable pH down for DWC

The safest way is to use vinegar but I don't know what dose to recommend and it probably won't have a long term effect... using it in soil would require 1 cup per gallon... Growing in DWC, as you are, if your EC remains stable but the pH rises by that much, it usually indicates that your EC is too high to begin with... you should change your reservoir and lower the EC by 0.2 ... Good luck!
