My ph is rising too.. I've unplugged the bubbler to see if it helps... Your lights look a bit close too bro. With watering either go to Bunnings, have a look on eBay or bite the bullet go to a grow shop and tell him what you're after and he'll give a good recommendation. Looking good bro.
Indoor 1x green crack. 1x blueberry. Air pots & cobs

i have to crawl in on all fours and handwater 6-7 litre at a time.... bit by bit, a litre at a time without it all pissing out the holes in the sides of my airpots. Takes ages and I hate it.... bud in my ears/eyes etc.
My nute mix swings from 5.4 to 6.5 over 24-36 hours..... I just adjust before each feed and go.
Coco will buffer the pH to some extent, so I wouldn't worry... a bit of swing in pH will make certain elements more readily uptakable. I think Coco sits in the low pH6 region so keeping the feed pH under 5.8 when feeding will keep the pH right in your medium.
If you're really worried, check the pH of the run off every now and then.
Have a look at Blumat Tropf watering system, no pumps etc and very reliable.

Yeh right I can't figure it out either lol thought it mightve been the plastic tub I was using but na idk haha.
I've got a ghetto set up have done but I just need to get some smaller fittings as it floods to quick haha.
Also I was thinking that with the light what can I run the cobs at when they are budding ?
Man that is exactly what I'm dealing with to haha it's ridiculous hey bloody airpots last thing I want to do at 5.30 in the morning haha.
Yeh true so it's a common occurrence then that's what I've been doing but yeh it takes up precious time in the morning if it gets all whack then I don't have time to fix it and they miss there morning feed it sucks haha. But yeh I found these guys like it around 5.4ish so stuck with that.
Yeh I've got a ghetto 2ltr bottle with fittings and garden hose but it's to much I need to tone it down floods way to quick and makes a message thinking I'm going to make like a ring of my fittings that has holes all the way around it so spreads even and does just work like a tap in there lol.
Some pics they are looking good now thanks so much for your help guys wouldn't of got here with out yas

6 inches? too close to the plants, it's easy to burn the plant
Nah i raised 6 they'd be about 9-10 cos they were real close before but I put my hand there and it's fine the cobs have the ledil optic/reflectors on them to ??
10" should be fine but maybe go higher, say 16" and monitor and lower each day watching how they react. They may appreciate it as the sweet spot will be different depending on the spacing of the cobs, hanging height and size of tent. So work your way through to find that sweet spot.
Gotcha, if flower stage, 12-18 inches will be better
Yeh ok I'll start sussing that out as most are of that plant is about that away just main cola is real tall. And yeh my lights are fixed I move them around abit cos I'm always taking that bloody berry out for its darkness.
