@dalilama, Heyho, just read this and wanted to give some advice. What nutrients are you using? Organic or mineral? Becuase in a soil grow, organic nutrients will almost always balance themselves out if your tap water pH isnt tooooo much off. And for Soil, optimal pH is from 6.2 to 6.8, there is also a nice graph here: https://www.growweedeasy.com/sites/growweedeasy.com/files/pH-nutrient-deficiency/soil-ph-chart-marijuana.jpg
So your 6.5 is PERFECT. Like, literally perfect for a soil grow.
The 5.8 youre talking about is the perfect pH for a hydroponic grow, but thats not important in your case.
So if youre using organic nutes, don't worry too much about pH as long as its between 6 and 7 for your soil grow. For mineral / synthetic nutrients, however, try to adjust it if its above 7.0 or below 6.0.
Oh and little edit from my side: Ive grown the quick one 2 times, one time with pH 6.3 and one time with pH 5.7. Both times the plant did fine and had no problems even though it showed deficiencies in the end with the 5.7 pH but nothing that seriously impacted growth or yield or anything...
But for now, you should be absolutely fine. Dont worry too much :)
Cheers
