DIY Blubber Root Nubs

My clones have been in the bubbler for 17 days and some have root nubs for the last 5 days but no roots growing! The root nubs on one clone seem to be growing more and more every day and the other clones root nubs seem to stay the same and never grow into roots. I'm not sure why I can't get the nubs to grow big roots like I see on here

Have you removed any humidity some completely?

Ph? Ec?

What's your ambient and reservoir water temperatures? Clones will take longer to root if the temperatures are too low, especially the water temperature.

I would say ambient around 72 degrees or so. I live by the ocean and it has been cooler lately. I will check my water temps tonight and get back to you. What is a good water temp?

I keep my cloner reservoir at 78F (that's my desired target at least). I keep the ambient air temperature in the tent the cloner is in at about 65F. I've found that this promotes root development, but the cooler air up top slows the plant from trying to grow vegetatively.

To maintain my water temperature, I have a 50W fish tank heater in there, and it's connected to a cycle timer for 10 minutes on, 30 minutes off.

Sorry took me a few days before I could check the water and it's at 70 degrees. I have root bumps on 75% of the clones now. Should I plant them in coco and try and figure out how to keep my water at 78 degrees? Some have had root bumps for 6 days or more and some seem to be loosing those root bumps. I forgot outside around 70
