So according to that chart 5.0 would be cherry? Anyone ever run it that low? My tables go from 5.5 to 6.1 before I adjust it back.
I have run 5.2. That was the best stable pH i have tried.
Swing destroys it in ime though.
I swing but not that much and it is usually a slow decline from 6.3-6.5 to 5.8 at the low end.
I like 6.2-6.3 for rooting clones and seedlings, 6.3-6.0 for veg into early flower, and 6.0-5.8 till the end..
I used to jack the ph to 8 or so for a few days to make the big fans fall off real easy almost by shakin the tree boss...and the harvest and final trim

Sorry D.S. my bad man. Forgot to look at what forum I was in.
It's my understanding that as a plant gives up an H+ for a nutrient cation the concentration of H+ ions increases thus lowering the pH.
And as the plant exchanges an H+ for an anion the concentration goes down thus increasing pH.
I could be wrong.
According to this chart P and Mg are un available at a ph below 5.8
There are a bunch of Hydro Ph charts who is right?
