I Had some good plants that i wanted to sex... they were really healthyy.. so i decieded to clone the.. i got my razor blade and did some 45's on them.. then put them in the ssmall rockwoll cubes that had been pre soaked.. they are about 3 weeks old now and still sitting in the rockwoll cubes, but they haven't shown roots through the cubes yet.. a few of them have new growth but no visable roots out of the cubes yet..? can anyone help me? oh and yes i've been wetting the cubes when they dry out.. and i've also been misting the clones for the 1st week.. can someone please helpp.. thanks
 
ok highwayman did you soak your cubes to 5.5, and when you cut your clones did use rooting gel and did you just cut the skin on the stem like 4 times, dont cut into the stem just the skin, ok then did you get like two plastic containers that are clear and stack up on top of each other, to make a humid dome. did you stick them under a floresent light for like 5 days and is it warm like 80 or 85 degrees and get roots. cause thats how you do it.
 
i would think that so long as they look healthy and happy and are showing new grpwth, they must be doing ok although your not seeing anykind of roots.. you didn't mention what type of medium your gonna grow them in, but i would go ahead and transplant them into that medium and see what happens.. sounds to me like they are indeed rooting, just not doing so extremely fast..
 
alright thanks.. yeah i've done all of the above.. used a clear tub on top of them to keep the humidity in.. and now they are currently being fed water when they dry out.. and i will be transplanting into a soil medium.. so is it still ok to transplant them now..? it's been a few weeks.. and then temp in the cabinet is 25 degrees C

If there's new growth they have rooted 100%, otherwise you wouldn't have new growth. Try a very low level nutrient (I use rhizotonic) for root development, the npk is 0.6-0.4-0.2 or something like that....
And ye I guess you could put them in a small pot now if there is new growth.

Good luck and peace,
