Ok so Ive got a moderate amount of experience cloning but I get mixed success when it comes to getting them to develop roots and ready for transfer. I'm going to attach photos in case it helps but I'm a little unsure wether or not my clones have started to root. Ive been using a humid dome for about 9 days and started out using small presoaked Rockwell cubes. Day 1-3 I misted my clones daily and kept the vents closed to promote humidity. Days 4-5 I opened the vents to allow humidity to escape and also to prevent mold (at least that's my thinking) days 7-9 I misted them daily again and kept vents closed. Now typically I have a little check I do to see if they have rooted at all where I leave the dome off for about an hour to and hour and half and look for signs of wilting. When I did this no wilting occured but I'm still not physically seeing any roots. It's a little concerning because I used very small cubes and assume I should be able to see something by now but no signs. I'm aware some strains take longer to root but do you think my clones are ready for transfer to soil? If not what should I do ? Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
Are my clones ready for transfer ?

I suggest you wait for roots. I won't move until this. 14 days most times. LOL.
Best wishes.
Gotcha, I definitely prefer to wait until it's crawling with roots but I tend to get a little impatient. Should I just continue the same process I've been doing with the humid dome until I see roots? Just also kind of wondering if my process Is flawed just because I tend to get mixed results
Got it, I've kept the moisture pretty high in the dome on the days I'm not opening the vents , even spayed the inside of the dome and the clones. Should I just keep the vents closed and keep spraying til I get roots? Just wondering the best process from where I'm at now, thank you

After the first week you need air. Open vents then. Just lift top for a few minutes everyday until started. Leaves are your life line until.
Noted. Thank you for your help

So last year was my first year ysing rockwool for clones; usually either use soil or water.
Them suckers in the rockwool rooted but then the roots just stopped growing and not a single one poked out the side of bottom after four weeks.
I took a knife and cut slices of rockwool off until I found where the roots were, then stuck them all in soil. Plants took off from there.

As the moisture and any existing nutes are in the wool. Add some fish emulsion and they will come out. LOL.
