Newly Transplanted Clones

[ABlueDuck]

I just picked up a couple of gonzo #1 clones last night that were taken out of a humidome deal and had maybe 10+ roots coming out of their sponge cubes.
After the trip home they still looked really good so i transplanted them right away into 16oz beercups with about 50%spagnum pete and 16% each Perilite, Vermiculite, and MG Potting mix. I gave them a little water each, not a ton but enough, maybe 1cup each if that, and threw them under 4 little 27w 3300k CFLs. The temps in there have been about 74-78f.

Now when they first went in yesterday, the taller one was looking super and the shorter one was drooping alittle.






But after 24 hours the one that had been drooping perked up alittle, lifting itself off a golf tee...



... and the other one , the originally better looking one's upper leaves have started to curl under?




closer, just the top ones...



Anyone know if they're just going through a little shock or if something else could be wrong? Also if theres any thing else anyone thinks i should do differently, im a total newb, help me out!

Thanks.

all you can do is watch and try not to do too much , chances are they will just need a week to get established before they really take off. Also double check your ph on run off water, 50% peat may be a little much, its acidic. normaly just regular potting soil is just fine for clones as long as the airation in the soil is good. just dont freak out and try a bunch of random stuff cannabis is resiliant give it time

Put drainholes in the bottom of those cups and when you water saturate the soil all the way through with runoff,you want the soil under the cube to be saturated,it sounds like you didnt give them enough water.When I plant my rooted clones in 4 inch pots,I use plain water and totally saturate the soil.The next time I water its with half strength grow big.Dont delay feeding clones,even if little veg time they need the nitrogen for the stretch.They should be OK with P if you gave the donor plant a shot of bloom fert before taking cuttings like you should

i second skeletor with the holes. also put a couple on the side. i'm about to transplant my clones to red cups too. mine are in rapid rooters.

Yea probably 1/2 up from the bottom on the sides,make it like the "big boys" lol.I see a lot of folks using cups but 4 inch pots are so easy to come by,they give them away everywhere at garden shops

Make sure you dont have them to wet, and keep them out of direct strong light until they get stabalized......

I do have a bunch of holes in the bottom of my beer cups,(not the lower sides though) i think tonight im going to trasplant the one that looks like its hurting into a mix with a more even ratio ratio of sphagnum and the MG potting mix(instead of mostly sphagnum), and throw in alittle perilite. I dont know why but she looks like shes still drooping even more. Shes only under 108w of cfls, should she be under even less?

Hers what she looked like day 1



Day 2


and now...







All the leaves are kinda curling under, especially the top little ones who are making me really sad.

to me it looks like a ph problem with the mg soil.
