i dont worry about my ph at all. i use alot of compost with a good black soil mixed well and thats it besides the fertilizers
 
you dont have to add anything to that soil besides perlite. last time i checked the ph of a brand new bag of FFOF it was 6.7 but you should always check the ph of your soil.
