It's important in all stages but it doesn't have to be 5.8. In fact trying to keep it exact causes problems. If it drifts from as low as 5.2 to as high as 7, it might be affecting marginal growth rates but it won't harm the plants.

it is my understanding(really, i actually KNOW very little) that you need actual roots to process nutrients. the cut end of your cutting can only take in and use water. thats why ph isnt important at this stage, there arent any nutes to lock out. your plant uses stored energy to get roots started. this is why you get some yellowing in your fan leaves when you clone.

do you know the ppm of your tap? mine is 350 and i dont ahve any problems.
