Reaper,
I meant no disrespect in your growing ability, but the clonning aspect was/is new to you and me. Thats where the "Rookie" came in..
I am a Rookie...just restarted growing again after many years...I am an "old fart" as well...Still have my first copy of "Old Homegrown Quarterly" Nov 1979 am now retired heavy equipment operator...30 yrs..Lovin life to the fullest....
I agree with your plan with the lights...had a problem with my timer, it got hit and the time was off several hours before I realized it..I now have a "hermie"....
Great looking stressed plant I might add.....hope you succeed...
