Consider reading through this good guide by @jprspereira:

Wanikani is too slow and the Radicals are Useless. also Why Can't I just level up in one day instead of 7?

@bahooney @Fang and others that might be interested. How to use WaniKani: Obs: this strategy requires the reorder script. Step 1: you need to define how many days you want to spend in each level. How do I do it? I make sure to know how long it will take me to do all the vocab of that specific level. I don’t care about leveling up faster, just so that I’ll end up leaving vocabulary unlocked from the previous level to do. If you want to level up every 8 days, you need to make sure you can do …

TL;DR Guru the radicals and you will get kanji. You guru a radical by doing the review after certain timeframes.

Here are the timeframes and how long you will have to wati:
Apprentice 1 => Guru 1 (3d10h, considering 4 correct answers in a row)

Apprentice 1 (lesson)
Apprentice 2 (+4h)
Apprentice 3 (+8h)
Apprentice 4 (+23h => consider this as 24h or 2x12h)
Guru 1 (+47h => consider this as 48h or 4x12h)

Apprentice 1 (lesson)
Apprentice 2 (+4h)
Apprentice 3 (+8h)
Apprentice 4 (+23h => consider this as 24h or 2x12h)
Guru 1 (+47h => consider this as 48h or 4x12h)

I do believe the intervals during level 1 and 2 are different.

@Kimika Did you understand the concept of SRS (Spaced repetition system)? You need to get the first radicals right 4x (in a row) so that they start unlocking new lessons. That can take around 2 days. The level 1 is slow but that’s because you’re just starting. WK acts like a snow ball going downhill. It might seem slow at first, but the intensity will increase
