Getting too many different opinions about PH. Need facts please!!!!

I am growing in soil and using organic nutes. Plants are 4 weeks old and healthy and I had never tested the PH. The guy at grow store tells me it is very important to test PH in nutes before adding to plant. So I test the water before nutes had a PH of 7.9 and after i added nutes it dropped all the way to a PH of 5. I then add PH up to get it into ideal range of 6.5. Now i test the run off and it has a PH of 8 "WTF"! So my Quetions are what do I do now to get the ph back down and should I PH my nutes before adding to plant?
Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanx

if you are organic you need to make sure your soil is the correct PH, not your nutes..... You want your soil around 6.5, if it is low get some dolomite lime ( it will neutralize your soil and is good for cal and mag). PH up and down is not good for the microlife in your soil....
