Question for you H&G guys

I've been wondering this for a while and although it seems pretty self explanatory by just reading the bottle I still haven't found a clear-cut answer to this question:

When feeding with your base nutrients (I'm talking about Coco A & B but I assume Aqua Flakes is the same deal), do you PH after the A & B or do you PH after adding your additives?

On the bottles it says to PH after you put the A & B in, but I find that if I do that and then add my additives (Rhizotonic, CalMag, Cannazyme) my PH is always off and needs to be adjusted after.

I'm wondering if the fact that I'm adjusting it at this point is actually the wrong thing to be doing and I should be leaving the PH at whatever it gets to simply because the bottle says to do it that way.

Any input from you experienced H&G guys?

Thanks for reading and good growing!

Just add A to water, mix, add B to water, mix. Then adjust PH. Then add additives, they won't affect PH.
