Pro mix and wiggle worm castings

I mixed a compressed bale of promix bx with a bag of wiggle worm castings and I am wondering what ph I should be adjusting my feeds/watering to. Should I be ph’ing to 5.5-6.2 like as if this were hydroponics( as my medium is barely anything except promix) or should it be what I have traditionally heard for soil, 6-7 ?

I run 5.8-6.2 in veg and 6.2-6.8 in flower in promix
Thanks for the response. I wanted to see how many people would agree that this basically the way to go with promix being that I have heard its basically like hydroponics and this you need to use extra nutrients and ph like you would for hydroponics I’ve heard.

Ive used pro mix now for I don't know probably 10 plus years. I mix it with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I do different ratios based on plants stage in life. So seedlings I do 3 parts Pro mix to 1 part FFOF then by time I'm up to bloom pots(5g) I'm mixing 1:1 ratio.

I used worm castings back in late 90s when I mixed my own soil but strayed away from it as hydro stores opened up with better easier options.

Promix is soil dude, its not at all like hydro, just because it has better drainage then average soil doesnt mean its like hydro. I use Promix HP(high porosity) and i still have to deal with soil problems. I try to keep my pH at the optimal 6.5 but my runn off usually comes out as 5.9 so not to bad. Let me know how the worm castings help, i have grown with straight up promix with nice results.
