General Organics Low PH

For those who use these nutrients do you adjust the PH or not? My well water has a PH of 7.8 and a ppm of around 120. After mixing calmag+ and Bio Bloom at the suggested rate the PH goes down to 4.6. I've got compost and worm castings in my peat and coco soil mix but didn't add in the lime, so my runoff with ph adjusted water is normally in the 6 range. The theory is that soil will adjust the ph naturally but feel giving them a feed of a 4.6 solution is asking a but much of the soil.
 
I got bored so it's experiment time. One plant got a feed with the non ph'd solution of 4.6. One plant got a feed of the same solution ph'd to 6.8, find out in a couple days which one is better or whether or not there is any difference at all.
 
Organic matter that feeds the soil will not be in its final form and thus any ph is useless either reading or adjusting.
 
Soil buffers organic nutes. I used bottled organics for 2 years. Never had a ph problem and yes after mixing it tests at 4.2 to 4.8
