Clones won't root!

I have 4 clones that are in a peat moss, been in humidity dome above a heat mat with a 26w cfl for 3 weeks. Swelling at the bottoms, showing signs of roots but not actually rooting. Wondering if I should just go ahead and put them in soil under my veg light?

After 3 weeks you should have roots out the door. If you don't see roots by day 10 or 11 in the dome pull
them out to check them. See if the cutting lifts right out of the media by gently holding onto the stem and
lifting very gently. Often the clone will slide right out with no resistance. That means you aren't growing roots and
waiting another week or more is a waste.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Did you use cloning compound? Lightly shave the stems?

I was in your boat about a week ago. Mine would not root either. they started to turn yellow. I had done everything by the book. Finally someone here suggested to plant them. I did in FF ocean forest. 3 days later they were flushing and now they are on fire. Also mine looked near death. They had been in that cloning tray way too long. Next time Im going to get one of those cloner that shoots water on the roots.

Don't feel too bad some strains don't clone well or like certain conditions.
