I should have posted the instructions for every day that I posted pictures of my cuttings but better late than never. At the bottom are day five instructions I am going by.
Today according to the instructions because the pod felt pretty dry I was supposed to add some water to the bottom so I put three-quarters of an ounce of just water in each lid and put one of the pods in each.
Drying them out was supposed to kick-start the roots and moistening the bottoms today is supposed to get the roots searching for water. I’m supposed to leave the lid closed but tomorrow they say I should see roots on half of them. After tomorrow when there are roots I’m supposed to close it up again and get it really humid because that stimulates root growth once they start.
I think realistically the big one on the left is the only one that has a chance of surviving. Oddly enough the two in the middle were the ones that got so dried out because I left them out for a day but the one on the right is the worst off. The two on the right received no rooting hormone and they seem the weakest so from this preliminary snapshot it kind of looks like big and with rooting hormone did the best like the instructions say so I give credit where do but whether it roots in the next couple days is a completely different story.
DAY 5
Keep vents on dome open and check to see if pellets are dry.
If the Rockwool or Peat Pellets are dry to the touch we will add half a liter (~2 cups) of water to the cloning tray itself which will fill the grooves in the bottom of the cloning tray.
Important: If you add water, add it to the cloning tray itself to fill in the grooves at the bottom of the tray. Do not add water to the tops of the pellets at this point, or roots will take longer to form!
The pellets will absorb the water from the bottom of the cloning tray. We want the roots to search for the moisture, and forcing them to move downwards to find water will force the plant to root more quickly.
