PH is an incredibly complex thing, and I am actually not expecting an answer that fits all conditions. There are just so many variables. The primary thing we are attempting to optimize with PH value is the uptake of nutrients by the plant. The nutes being used, if they are chealated (and how, EDDPA? EDTA?) or if you are running an organic nute base that requires the root zone to be alive with microorganisms have a big impact. Then how do you measure "best" result? Most vegetable mass per tent? Best cannabinoid production? Higher level of terpenes? If I am trying to maximize CBD or THCV production, does PH have an impact? Dunno, but I'd like to. And I agree different cultivars may require different PH levels for best production. I also think there could be a potential change to PH as it goes thru it's life cycle that could benefit. Flower = 5.8, Veg = 6.2, etc. Early on, Nitrogen is more important... yada yada yada.
This whole thing is like a balloon, if you squeeze it on one end, it will bulge out on the other. Everything has to be in balance for the optimum grow. Myself - I'm still searching for the perfect balance and open to any evidence based input! It's a rabbit hole you can fall down and live in if you are not careful.
