no its not, unless your plants start showing symptoms that something could be potentially wrong.

just make sure anything you are about to put in your soil is ph'd at what you desire for max results

I've been reading that anwhere from 6.2 to 6.7 is a good ph. Why is it that greenhouse seeds use such a low ph (5.5-5.9) to grow there plants?

6.2-6.7 is great for soil.

my ph is at 5.8 constantly, because i'm in hydro.
usually hydro does better with lower ph and soil does better with higher ph's
