first time growing experiment

This is my little grow experiment. I started with just 2 branches from a buddys plant. I left the branches in water for a night with light shining on it. Now i have it dipped into root powder and put into really watered down soil with light on a 18/6 light cycle from 2 cfl lights. They dont seem to be dying but how long will it take for roots to come? Tell me how you think this will turn out and what should i do differently.

Depends. Could be 3-4 weeks, but hopefully no more than 2.

Wait...the branch is flowering....so it has to revert back to veg state which could take a few weeks...I say do 12/12 and just flower this bad boy
