pH varies widely and is affected by every little thing you give to your plants and is best maintained within a small, small range in soil, like 6.5-6.8 I'd recommend getting even a cheap pH tester, pH being off will affect everything you do, even if you're giving your plants the right amount of nutes - no matter where you are around the globe.
Every time you feed your plants, it'll affect the pH, but you can't stop feeding - which is why it's also quite useful to have pH up/down on hand to adjust the pH to be within the desired range, without compromising nutes that would've otherwise been overly alkaline or acidic.
