BIG TIME clone problem with ez cloner?!?!

Ok I made an ez cloner out of a 5 gallon bucket, I'm gonna try to get a pic of it, it's on my grow journal somewhere....but anyways it's been at least two weeks and no roots?? The weird thing is that they still look pretty healthy. Now the thing got shut off on accident for a day, about ten days in, but outta 9 clones i should have still seen some kind of root growth. Here's some variables

Plain water with a small amount of hygrozyme
Room temp 75
Humidity 60 percent
No dome covering it
400 mh light nearby, but the clones are under a large cfl bulb
Ph was at 7 for a couple days, but I brought it back down to 5.8-6 range


My big question is, can these thing be saved or am I wasting my time, ant help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!

get a water heater used for a fish tank and set it to upper 70s*F so the water is warm.....the room is 75*F water needs to be just as warm mabey alittle more

I used to have a ez cloner and I found out that the pump in my res was making my water to warm which was causing the stems to rot. If your water it to warm try freezing a couple of 20 oz bottles of pop with water in them and put them in you res to see if that will cool it down. But if you want my advise i would ditch the ez cloner and go straight soil and plastic cups for cloning, much easier and if all is done right you will have roots in 5-7 days. My survival rate is 100% If you need any help just message me...

P.s Although hygrozyme is a GREAT product, you need some kind of root stimulator in your water, that's prolly why your not getting roots as fast. my ez cloner usually took 10-12 days to produce roots

Wow no shit the pump is making my water super warm!! If I had to guess I'd bet that it's 85 degrees! Thanks....next question is, are they any good they do actually look kinda brown leading me to believe that they are rotting!

Nice setup max....well with the 5 gallon bucket I only put about a half gallon in it, i'm thinking if I put 4 gallons it will be a lot harder to warm up...also ,some sort of light nutrient, I heard 1/4 dose of bloom nutes.
