FFOF tends to run a little hot. You should be able to go awhile before you start adding nutes. Yes you should ph your water to around 6.5ish. I usually let mine fluctuate from 6.4-6.8. This allows better uptake of micronutes in your soil IMO. When its time for nutes you should add the nutes to you water then ph. The reason for this is alot of the nutes out there will raise or lower your ph. So its better to adjust accordingly afterwards.
