You're guessing wrong, here's an idea, stop guessing. If you're a member at icmag you can use their search tool, but what's the point, what are you hoping to prove? The experiment was run just to prove that you could clone in dark, not that it was better, although some people reported better results and some talked about doing it that way for years. Some people claimed it would fit their needs perfectly.
But like people in this thread, when it was suggested a bunch chimed in with "bullshit, will never work," or "has no place or reason in growing." Now this guy is talking about CS in his rez and people who have never tried it like yourself are asserting that it will hermie or kill his plants. Why on Earth would you want to claim something you don't know? That's what I don't get about people like you. Running around pot sites seeing where you can find something wrong with the way people do things to the benefit of no one.
Just a quick search on google and I found info on CS being used beneficially in gardens, so we know that it shouldn't kill them. You claim it will hermie them, if it doesn't what are you going to do? Are you going to say, "Whoops, I was wrong"? I doubt it, people like you run away usually or make excuses when they are showed they were wrong. So go ahead guessing who I am not, I'll just keep laughing.
