Turtle, nice to hear you are back. Missing you alot. I often find myself wondering, I wonder what happened to turtle. More light to clones in the beginning is bad.

Too much light and your poor little clones will use up all the sugar (food) in the leaves and die a horrible death, before any roots are made. So leave them in weak light. Like the light by a window. NO, direct sun. I put my first clones in fluoros about 3 inches away and yeoow, they started to curl something awful. Stupid me left them that way for three days. Well, they have roots and are still curled. So I don't know if I fried them or not. They are still green, but not growing. Taking cuttings and growing them out is so slow. Seeds are much faster.
