Hi Smalone and welcome .
Please share some photos of your planted discus tank .
It's a true statement that pH drop of 1 point will get you close and approximate to 30 ppm Co2 in moderate( KH +- 10) water .
Its good and optimal for plant growth and bad for discus health . I do not recommend using co2 and pH swings with discus at all , but if you are dead set and you going to do it anyway , you can at least try to lower your PH drop to 0.5 and settle with +- 15 PPM of Co2 to avoid putting too much stress on your discus .
Good luck with your discus journey .
