for optimal nutrient root intake you want a PH of 6.8 for soil, now thats the PH of your soil + water/nutrients as the PH of the water will be adjusted by your soil when you put it in, so if you've got a soil PH of like 5.0, you are going to be hitting your head against a wall dealing with deficiencies, but if your soil is around the 6.8 and you keep your water/nutes around the same, you will be good

That gives you an idea of how PH interacts with nutrient availability.
