Keep the humidity up and it takes 7 to 10 days.You need a heat pad under your dome and spray two to three times daily...........peace

I took 5 not too long ago, and it took 12 days for roots to show. I had some temp issues though. It usually takes about a week.

The roots grow out of the cubes and into the soil

rock wool , not my favorite medium but alot of people like it. you can transfer to soil or most any other medium. personally i just stickem in the dirt and they seem to do better than any other medium. IMHO
