Your right, you can relay your experiences, nothing wrong with that but they should be stated as such. And letting people know you're new and lacking experience is always good. What actual advice did an old grower give you re cloning? Your cuttings almost died by the sound of it. Light timing is a mute point other than saving on power in my opinion. I get roots in 5-7 days typically using 24 hour lighting so I doubt they root quicker with a shorter light period or I'd have roots in 2 days lol. Sorry if I'm being harsh but there are way to many one grow wonders here
. Again nothing wrong with spreading experiences just don't pass it off as experience, two different things IMO.
