Howdy Sheester, I am not familiar with the brand of nutriments that You mentioned so I can not advise You on their use or dosages. It looks like You have the light leaks covered. What is the temperature of the reservoir water? I try to keep mine between 64° F and 70° F by using ice bottles (changed as needed). I had a problem with a brown algae growing in my reservoirs (planters) and only got it under control by keeping the temperature down. I also keep the water well aerated as well. The pH should fluctuate some as the plant takes up the nutrients from the water. Back . some years ago. I nearly killed my plants by 'chasing' the pH level up and down in the reservoir between feedings, Now I just adjust the pH of the feed and top off water to around 6,0 and only check the drainage at the feeding. This gives me an indication of how well the plants are using the nutriments, the level starts at 6,0 and. usually, rises to around 6.75 (I use test strips to check the pH). The pH needs to fluctuate in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 bcause some of the nutriments are absorbed better by the plants at different pH levels, so it's not all bad for it to shift, if it stays at the same level, it can lead to nutrient lockout.
Good luck with Your grow.
