Well now this makes me wonder...

I've yet to establish a ponic grow, me answering "5.5 - 6.1" is born from all the material I've read, and that range being the most frequently found.
But I've also read examples of a slighter higher range like bliss seems to prefer. And I should add...certainly looks to have good results happening in a current grow.

So...is it something in a difference between indica & stativa? Environment? Grower preference/response?

This bound for hydro mind wants to know.

Just start growing and find out what works best for you

To eliminate the bullshit and confusion. Remember, as the plant goes into different stages it needs more of some nutes in the basic N-P-K formula. This link shows you the optium pH range to be in so your are sure the plant can uptake what it needs. Hope this helps.

There is a chart that will show you the available nutrients at different cycles of the plants life. It's best to match the Ph to the plants needs and requirements more then what works best for you.

It's all about "The Cycle of Life growing technique" it's nothing new just to many people are forgetting it or just don't believe.

PH tends to rise in my set up. I start at 5.2, and in a few days it's 6.2. Both are fine, but don't go below 5.2.
