TO PH SOIL OR NOT! help pls

[UK564]

Hello all. I see people are bored of this question but I have to ask since I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere. My girls are growing in a mix of mostly biobizz all mix, part light mix and perlite. I have 2 girls in just light mix and perlite. I am using biobizz nutrients also. My tap water ph is roughly 7.5, I do use a waterdrop filter directly on the tap and have been phing to around 6.5, should I be doing this or not. Will the soil be able to buffer itself? Sorry to ask but its frustrating getting answers.
Thanks chaps

I genuinely cannot see the point in moderate conditions like the one you describe.

The soil has its own pH and will adjust the tap water to it.

I’ve rarely seen a good outcome from soil growers fannying with their pH although in extreme cases I’m sure it has a place.

Interesting, have you ever experimented with ph'ing? Thanks for the reply.

No I haven't

14 years, and have never PH anything but the soil it's self, before planting.

Thanks for the reply. Won't bother ph'ing then, thanks for the advice.

Personally, I feel that if you can drink the tap water, you're good to go BUT knowing the type of water you get from the tap - like hard or soft or somewhere in the middle - is far more important in soil where you're not necessarily equipped with an EC pen. Hard and soft extremes can be make or break a grow, especially using a one-stop-shop nutrient range like BioBizz.

Getting a handle on calcium and magnesium is a game changer for "out of the bag" soil growers.

I've never ever ph'd soil and always had the results I wanted
