I would try to not let it get much above 6.0. There are virtually no nutrients that it can uptake at a 6.6 pH. If you are spending too much time at 6.0 and above, it is probably locking out some nutrients. I always like to let mine drift from about 5.4 to about 6.0.
What nutes are you using? I always ran DWC--never had as good a luck with ebb and flo as I did DWC. How many times and how long are you flooding the table? What is the temp of your res water?
