Clones didn't root, they grew stumps...

Where did I go wrong?

*Soaked rockwool cubes in water mixed with Superthrive, used clonex.

*Kept moist in a dome for 2 weeks and 3 days under 24 watt - T5's.

The clones still look ok, but they never grew roots. Can this be fixed or are they fucked?

The 'stumps' are what the roots grow out of, put them back in quick they will root very shortly.

yea thats what they look like just before they start to shoot roots what i do with some cuttings that take a long time to root is i take them out when they show like this then i put them in soil and they usually show roots within a couple days so i would say throw them in some soil unless ur gonna be growing them some other way other than soil sometimes my clones seem like they stay like this forever and barely show roots so i throw them in soil then their off and running so ur good they just need longer how long were they in there cause ive seen some take up to 2 weeks

It's been 2 weeks and 4 days..... Nothin'.

1 month is the longest I have known, but I tend to clone in flower, which adds a while on to the norm...

The stumpy appearance is from the cloning gel. I've rubbed it on the stem before and it gets all retarded looking. FDD did an experiment with it awhile back.





As much as I hate to admit Woo is right. Put em back an you should see roots very soon.

They're back in the cubes under the dome.

I'll post the results.



Thank you guys very much.

They tried the best they could, but I think they never recovered from me ripping them out of their rockwool cubes. One of them actually showed signs of rooting but dried out before anything really happened.

I think if I would have just waited, I would have seen better results.
