Clones green on 10th day no roots.

My clones look more healthy than any clone nice had ever so I was confused why they weren't showing roots so I pulled a bit to see if they had give and they all did... When I pulled the clones up everything below the surface was WHITE, HOLLOW, and RIGID(I assume that is from the clonex powder)! Should I cull them and start over?
 
I also have very tiny clear worms (probably fungus gnats) on the outside of the rapid rooters. Are they doing it?
 
I've had to recut clones in the past. When you use the powder be sure to ping off the extra. The shoot only requires a very light dusting of the rooting harmone. If done properly you can be sure there are roots started between 5-7 days even if they aren't showing through the rooting medium. I plant them on day 7 or 8 regardless and they all make it.
 
I think from some soil. I'm poor so I pasteurized and reused my rooters that didn't root and last time I just sat them in soil. So, the soil.
 
Don't worry about the worms, they'll eat the the excess carbohydrates and proteins that the plant makes to combat the damage from microwave radiation. I would be much more worried about pulling the plants out of the rooting medium. Think of the plant as a squirrel and you'll know what Im talking about,

Third, I would think very seriously about what type of headgear are you wearing when your plants can see you. I mean is it a toque, a baseball cap, or maybe a western-style cowboy hat; this makes a big difference in how your plant perceive you.

Finally, I think you should worry more about upper-level disturbances in the force and much, much less about the cut flower lobby entrenching itself in the power corridors of Washington D.C. Good Luck
 
To me the biggest tell is that the plants are green and healthy. If they're green and healthy, then they're till good. some can just take a lot longer to root than others. Give them a bit more time and dont poke them.
