Cuttings not rooting

Just curious if anyone has any input to this problem. I took fresh cuttings from an indoor purp. Used clone-x solution soaked in the rockwool and cloning gel for the cuttings.

It has been 10 days and nothing. I have them in a humidity dome, humid is up in the dome, CFL light on them 18 hrs and the temp is around 80 f with a small lamp light in the closet.

They are looking good, healthy and green. No wilt and standing tall. But no roots. The end of the stalk is rootless and shrunken.

I have read that they need to dry a little to let the stalks and starter roots breath. These cubes are soaked, saturated still from the inital soak when I started them.

The PH is around 6 - 6.5...... I used Root tech for the gel.

Any suggestions or ideas why no roots???

was the mother flowering?

yes...... bad time?

You can clone a flowering plant it just takes longer. I would wait 4 or 5 days and if you don't have roots by then, somethings wrong.

How long? If you've had them under the dome for 10 days I'd start to take the dome off. If after a few hours they look a bit wilted then you might want to put the dome back on for a while. If they have been going for 10 days they need to start to root soon or they may rot. Start taking the dome off.

are there any nutrients that could help? Clone X? Sprayed on the leaves or soaked into the rockwool?

Still having a bad time with these cuttings....

No roots, loosing a few to mold. Too much humidity, not enough...

Ok, most of them died. From that swollen stalk, roots did start blasting out but only 4 are left. Roots have appeared but now it seems stunted. No change in the last 2-3 weeks. Should I move them to soil now?
Change the lights?
What should I do now to get them moving forward?
