Advice on my wilting leaves please..

Hey all... just transplanted 4 clones and started up my first grow a few days ago. 3 outta 4 are lookin good.. But the Banana Kush clone(5 weeks old) wilted almost immediately after transplanting, and the condition worsened the following days -

It came in a rockwool cube which I planted and watered it minimally with a 1/8 strength foxfarm big bloom. All leaves from the top to the bottom are sagging terribly(unlike all the rest with the same conditions)... on the verge of looking like solid "C"'s.

Overwater? Root problem? Adjusting to light and environment? Any advice is appreciated.

Gotta 4' x 4' closet space- workin with foxfarm ocean forest soil, big bloom from foxfarm, 3 gallon pots, 400w hps bulb, decent ventilation, humidity: 40-50%, temp: steady 75-78 F, pH is 6.6-6.8.. and the moisture meter I have reads that the soil is moist, but on the drier side at the moment.

Get water to the roots.

If you have been watering the soil around the plant expecting those Hoover rockwool cubes to wick the moisture through it ant gonna happen.

You have an idea the size of the root structure, If you don't get water to it you will lose the plant.

Thanks cruz... watered it thoroughly right on over and around the cube. Again, it's been only 4 days - and here's how it looks.

Think this one can be saved??

Thanks cruz.. watered thoroughly and 2 hours later they're already perking right up.

Glad to be of help.

i would suggest next time you get clones to just give strait water for at least three days. ease them into it. glad to hear sh e turned around for you.

yeah, good call.. something about cultivating for the first time - you get all antsy and try to take too much control over the damn plants.
