Just about all real organic built soils fall in that range.
Keep in mind that the plant will have effect on the final pH "set" of the soil. The plant sort of "tells" the soil what it wants to be and the soil answers by doing it. It's the soil-food-web at work.
I'm not a fan of FF soils - They have to many pests in them....
Potters Gold and Dr. Earth's Potting soil (the black, gray and white labeled one) are my favorite choices....When short cutting and buying a base soil.

I've had good luck with FFOF, but my last few bags had a lot of gravel. Not cool...

I either make my own from scratch or I'll buy the cheapest potting soil I can find, then amend it with organic goodness.
I loves me some crab, fish bone, neem, kelp, and langbeinite.
(Try it; you'll like it.)

Thanks, yeah I like playing with my soils, the wife usually pick up crappy stuff. I'll use in my potted garden first time around. Tried a batch I made, cucumbers didn't like it. Got another batch I'm working on, added blood.meal, bone meal and worm.castings, letting it set through the summer, then I'll add a little more right before I start my grow. Got tomatoes in a.small batch of.that seemed to work now. Time will tell. Going to the coast coming up, thought about bleaching and.crushing some.shell. Recipe in the works I guess, but it sure is fun...lol
Gonna have to try that combo you gave, see how it works.

Organic nutes are easy to use. If your soil needs a boost, nutrient tea is the bomb!
Even when there's a deficiency, the *right* organic nute is the key. Need nitrogen now? Try some blood meal.
Need nitrogen later (over time)? Try feather meal, and/or neem & crab.
Grow safe, bitches.
