Thank you, Maybe using the 300w HPS is overkill right now. Would it hurt for me to switch back to the 125 w 5600k CFL at this point and time?
No it won't hurt.

It depends on what size your plants are. I grow really small plants (under 2ft at harvest with L.S.T.) so thats all I need.I also keep my mother plant at 2ft. You would probably need more light for the later stages of veg. A 125w CFL will do 4 cuttings to week 6/7 for me.

Week 1-2 Root cutting in starter cube
Week 2-3 Root in larger cube (3")
Week 3-4 transfer to pot and veg.
Week 6/7 Put into flower room under 250w HPS

This is probably about 2-3 weeks veg time, which is quite short, I would add more light at this point if I were growing larger plants because 125 would not really be enough after week 6/7 (week 2-3 of veg).

Bad idea.

Did you squeeze the excess water out afterwards? The cubes need to be moist to the touch, not waterlogged. I soak my cubes then give them a good squeeze.

This is the joy of growing for some, there are no right answers to a lot of questions. What is the right setup for you depends on so many factors.

I must say that I thought that that was uncalled for.
