Help: Rockwool Cube > 1 Gallon Planter "Plants Drowing"

N

I took clones in Rockwool cubes and put them into 1 gallon planters just over half full of dirt. Out of 8 clones there are two which fell over and which are barely drinking water, thankfully they are standing again. Is there anything I can do to make them dry out faster? I know I should have used smaller containers and now I should water lightly. But my gut tells me if I don't take some kind of action my roots will rot away??? Should I poke holes in the dirt for air?

It was 6 hours round trip to get these clones. But maybe I should just go get some more and toss these two out?

If they are fresh out of a dome or an otherwise high humidity environment they need to be "hardened off". If that is the case put a large clear cup or two liter bottle or such over them and they should perk back up. Slowly acclimate then to your drier environment over the course of a few days.

I have a very large expensive humidifier.. What humidity am I looking for?

Nevermind I decided to dump these two Kush Dream plants that are nearly full of water still after 1 week. It will give me a chance to look at the roots to see what is what.. This was my second attempt to get an answer. I need to get them out of my veg before they start to mold.
