only thing i could recommend is put the other half of the soda bottle on top with the cap off kinda like a dome to keep humidity high and wait its not uncommon for clones to take 2 weeks to show roots. humidity is the most important thing right now as the plants have no roots and are bringing in water differently than usual

Some people (like me) really abuse clones. I'll say 7-14 days in general for clones to get rooted. The first pic below is some really sick looking clones. The second one is one of the plants 2 weeks later (all still alive). Don't give up just because they look bad. I wasn't going to give up unless the entire plant dried up and keeled over - and I still probably would have waited a few days after that before giving them their final burial.

you should be good for about 4 or 5 weeks. dont overwater them cause there is no roots yet, and spray mist them a couple of times a day and spray mist the inside of the dome cover if it dry. take off the dome cover once or twice daily for little while so they can breath.
