You want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil.

make sure you calibrate your meter so your sure its correct
i would flush with lower ph water if your aiming for say 6 and your ph is 7 i would ph the water to 5.5 and test the runoff to see what it is coming out at
the flush will probably take most of your nutes out of the soil so i would add some to the last bit of water you give them
you may have to do this a couple of times before your soil is at the correct ph
good luck

One thing I noticed personally is the digital soil probes take about 20 seconds to get a reading, second is my soil changes from 6.0 when wet to 7.0 when dry. Just something to check out. Happy growing
