rooting seems to take the most patience because from day to day there isnt hardly any change like there is with veg/flowering... hydrobandit is right.. all those stubs would have been roots in a few days.. and once the roots start growing they grow fast... next time give it like 14 days before you re cut..

im not sure but the stress from re-cutting you clones could retard roots starting by a few extra days on top of the 7-14 it usually takes.. so.. be extra patient

and if you can buy a clone-x clone-a-nator or some other clone machine you will have quicker results and can almost garuntee 100% rooting..

The action you took puts the clones back to day 1 & could have possibly ruined them...hopefully not. I just took a couple clones myself 7 days ago & other than what would become the main stem I've noticed virtually no changes. The main stem is starting to turn reddish...I think this is a good sign because I noticed through observation that most seeds I grow have that same reddishness to the stem when they sprout. This is my first experience with Cannabis clones. I did clone a mint plant last year with NO rooting solution. It just takes time...patience is the key. The mint plant I cloned I just kept on my balcony. It didn't get 24 hours of light, no rooting hormone or solution, no temp control( it was pretty warm). I kept it really moist & at first it looked really sad, but after a few weeks it began to grow & turned into a pretty nice little plant. If the clones don't fall over give them at least a few weeks before giving up on them.
