Is this true?
"Magnesium gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 2.0-5.7
Magnesium is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 5.8-9.1
(Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Magnesium deficiency."

If so then in DWC you would need to keep your ph at 5.8 to 6.0?To prevent MG lockout?

Man if your pH aint in the correct range you will lock out more than just magnesium. Keep ur pH around 5.8 in a hydro system and more around 6.3 6.4 for soil.

Thanks guys I always thought you were cool if you stayed in the 5.5-6.0 range.But with Mg lockout below 5.7 and P lockout above 6.0.Dam you better be on your game and not get to couch locked.Hell that only leaves you a .2 range factor.Don't most digital meters have .1 error factor?Chit!Better keep those little bugers calibrated.

Phosphorus gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 6.0-8.5.
Phosphorus is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels of 4.0- 5.8. (Wouldn’t recommend having a ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0. Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Phosphorus Deficiency.

Not to mention that .1 actually is 10,000 so if your off by one your actually off by 10,000

Log scale is x10 ea whole number, so 0.1 of that range would be 1 percent, no?

(I realize there's more to log scales, weighting diff ea. end of range, etcetera, but generalizing)
