Default ph problem

Hi,

I am still cycling my tank without fish.
My Ph is 6, KH is 4 degrees and GH 3.

I have a CO2 in the tank (DIY) and originally the ph was 7 before adding
CO2.
The tank is planted.

Now i think the problem is the co2. How can i sort this out. I still want
co2 in the tank for the plants but i also want healthy PH.
Do I add carbonate sodium to the tank?

please help.

If you have room for it, add some crushed coral/ crushed seashells in your
filter. It should help stabilize the PH and not allow it to drop so far.
