Baking Soda to lower pH
I cant imagine how baking soda would lower pH. Acid is used to lower pH.
baking soda breaks down to CO2 and H2O, so you are putting CO2 into the water. I should add that bs only adds CO2 as it breaks down in response to acid. how old is you pH kit? did the sticks get wet?

Well the water hyacinths are green, not growing much, but green.... and so is the water, but that I don't find unusual considering the pH. I'd also like to mention the duckweed is growing great in the block holes, I guess a high pH doesn't bother them.
