In soil you'll have no difficulties to grow with a 7ph even if a 6.5 in flowering is the average range. The soil have a self buffering propriety so it's mean that you'll be close to 7 each time you water except if you have a big difference between your nutrients mix ph and the soil ph for ex soil is 7 and mix is 5 but it will create a ph fluctuation. No need to check the runoff PH except if you'r growing in coco.

Different soil will all have different ph levels. Best to find one suited to marijuana. Can be tricky. But if your soil is quite high, water with a lower pH like 5.5-6 to ensure all nutrients are being absorbed and flush it every month or so to get rid of any excess build up of salts
