All I do is take my cuttings, take a cup, walk to my bathroom sink, put about a 1/4 inch of water in it, drop the cutting in, and place it under my t5's. I get roots in about 7 to 14 days.
No rooting hormones, No misting, No humidty domes, just scissors, water, and a a cup.
Heres a pic of some clones I took 8 days back, as well as a pic of the roots on "the biggest" clone out of them, shes actually the one that started first.

Alot of the reason yours is taking so long is due to the fact that it was a top, I take all of mine frome the lower/mid portions of the plant. However I have also done it with tops. I've noticed that using this waterglass cloning method will show you the difference in rooting times.
If I take a clone from the bottom portion and stick it in water it takes about 7-9 days to start rooting
If I take one from the middle, It takes about anywhere from 9 to 13 days,
and if I use tops it usually takes them around 2 to almost 3 weeks sometimes.
The best advice I can give, is to make the cleanest cuts possible when you take them, and take care not to smash the stems and leaves in any way.

I've also noticed theres a certain "stage" that the clones go through, this is the part of what I see in your pics, she's going to root pretty soon, once those little white bumps start forming, they usually take off.blogs/404478/attachments/2109372-clones-001.jpgblogs/404478/attachments/2109371-clones-002.jpg
