Cuttings... will they survive?

Hey everyone!

This is my first post here and also my first topic. I'd rather not to post new topics with dumb questions but now I made myself some problems.
Please tell me your opinion about the followings:

I've taken some cuttings on the 19th of August... used sterilized razor in a clean enviroment... I've put the clones in pH balanced water with root stimulator fertilizer in it right after the horror of cutting my sweetheart. When I've collected enough new clones dipped them into the rooting powder and took into rockwool.

The temperature is always between 75 to 79 °F (24 to 27 °C) and relative humidity iz between 80-95%. The lighting period is 18/6.

Everything seems good but I've done two faults:
The rockwool was wet not moist and the cuttings were just put into it, not sticked in. I've corrected these things last day (that was the 23th of August).

The lil cuttings are still alive (a bit wilted) but absolutely no signs of root development. Should I wait with them or start over with new cuttings?

I would appreciate any info about the clue. :dunce:

A cutting will root when it decides the time is right. It could be as little as a few days or as long as a month. Keep misting them 2-4 times a day. The cuttings recieve moisture through their leaves, since no roots are present yet.

So the absolutely wet rockwool and the air that may reached the end of the cuttings couldn't be a serious problem?

Relax. Don't touch them until you see roots coming out the sides of the cubes or they die. You will probably get 50 percent to root.
