I'm going to strongly recommend here on record that you try a nute that is buffered for soil use, to further keep it in the desired range. The Canna line is an example of one.

Also, you have been doing this a while; if your electrode is older, it may actually need cleaning. This is what I do at teh lab for glass electrodes:
Acetone will remove organic gunk, and 'shocking' it by placing it in a solution of 50% pH down for ~30 seconds, RINSING WELL, placing in 50% pH up for 30 seconds, rinse again, repeat 3x, always ENDING with the pH down, then rinse off REALLY well before use- this conditions the electrode.
Also even if it doesn't need cal, check it against a fert solution that you have tested with liquid drops.

I have no issues w/ the other plants but the CHURCH is a headache as far as the NUTES are concerned.. I'm using the GH 3 Part System.. I have gone over 900 2 times and caught NUTE burn both times. I'm using the GH 3 part w/ Flora Nector and Voodo Juice... I have not had any issues when staying @ 900 I'm going 50mL Micro 50ML Bloom 20-30 ML Grow (Still) and adding some Flora Nectar and Voodo Juice when I feel up to It... The CHURCH Rating: 5
