Well F. I scooped 1, there was nothing, i recut an inch upper and replanted with root gel. So I tried another... nothing... Only 2 out of 5 I tested had the tiniest strands of root.

Clearly I did something wrong. How long does it usually take for roots to sprout? .-. I'm so confused.
A week is long to start rooting. But if there’s any roots at all they should keep going.
 
**Update**

Considering the 9 clones a failed first try and will restart with appropriate medium (root pods).

I've done another 6 clones with previous method, but with new mediums this time around (sterile blade, scissors, board, hands, root gel, etc.).
I've gently damped the pods and inserted my 45 degree clone cuts with gel in them, they're now back under the dome - now only 23Degrees and 70% humidity, but should be 85-95% humidity, 24.5-25C within next 10-15mins.

Lighting is still 3x CFL 23W bulbs, so shouldn't be too intense for the clones.

Hopefully, these ones are successful :D

The new clones look great. Keep it up!
Quick update, been 9 days - looking A LOT more successful than the previous try (all of them died).

Status : 2 fully rooted, 3 pending, 1 dead.

Fully rooted : looking real good and healthy - they seem ready to plant !

Pending : they still look healthy, but don't show obvious roots yet, might need a bit more time.

Dead : I think this one was bound to die as the cutting was not optimal to start with and I think I've bumped the top when opening the humidity cloche (oops).

Only thing now is... I only got one tent, hmmmm what to do... what to do... :')

Thanks for all the tips and tricks Monster !
Shows this method is a lot better :)

Update !!

SO out of all the clones 5 survived - live and healthy, about a feet tall now :)

For the main tent - I'm at week 3 of flowering now ;
They're quite nice and healthy :)

Stats : staying around 26-29C, 50% humidity, 12/12, 400w hps and 1250w led.

*Note* I am a tiny bit worried for herms in the lot (see pics)

They might seem flat on pic, but they're a bit unperfect oval shaped - nothing to be seen IN flower (hidden pollen banana form thingies)
They DO have some trichomes on them though.

Should I be worried? :o
