Cuttings 10 days but no roots?

So I took some cuttings off a perfect mother plant 10 days ago but had some problems...1st off the pump in my aeration bucket broke so I put them in soil for 24 hours. I fixed the pump and a day later the pump broke again!! So I ended pitting them in the aeration bucket but just so the water was covering the bottom of the cuts. Obviously the water had the correct Ph and I put rooting gel on them all the basics where coverd. I have just checked the roots after 10 days and although the cuts are alive and growing there is no root balls?! Any ideas why? If so should I just wait longer or take a bit off the bottom of them and start again?

24 hours waiting in water is no biggy... but moving to soil and back is...much study is required on your part here,

see this as cambium engineering ..thats all teasing out the rootlets from under the 'bark' its no biggy so don't stress

to my blog on my junky cloner : https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/cloning-bubbler-n02-11-2009.28758/

use honey rather than that cloning shit, honey is sterile with no bugs and has the same hormones as clone shit(auxins and gibbs)

it won't wear your pump either unlike them salts in the powder?

Thanks I sort of knew when posting I was being a bit impatient. So best to just leave them for a bit? How long do I give them before I give them up and use the seeds I brought as a back up?

Fyi. No need for honey or and store bought rooting hormones needed

All I use is water. But I use rock wool and a dome. I do add a little nutes, for them, but also have did strait water before.

Thanks its not so much what to put with them etc as I have used the same method a few times and it works OK for me but it's just the issues I had at the beginning and wondering if there may of been a reason for there slow root grow?

In your particular case I'd split my odds and germ some seed now,

as you can always catchup with clones later even continue now

see this as a trial run?

I mentioned the honey in this case ..as an antiseptic to any possible contamination from the soil,

but generally I use just plain water, as you are looking for a successful mission completion and extraction in

under 10 days, plant-lets tho hungry will live for 10 days plus with no added foods, tho the addition of heat

(27c/75f) does speed the process, imo

some plants just genuinely hate being cloned

"I heard once..." lol.....years ago on a radio program... said the enzymes in saliva help in rooting. cut, scrape the stalk with my teeth and into the bubbler. works for me.

I learned a little from this video.......

Sacrifice one, tear one open and ave a look.
