I just bought 6 blue dream clones a little over a week ago. I immediately put them in soil and watered them. They havent grown since and are starting to turn a little yellow and droopy. I have them under a 400 watt mh but the temperature doesnt seem to be a problem. What could cause this? I was thinking possibly overwatering but im not sure. Please let me know if you know whats goin on or what i should do. Thanks.

the roots are small at first so that dont need alot of water, did they have roots when u got them?? they will show signs like this a the first start of root building by they will recover once the roots are established

They were rooted when i got them. Small wool cubes full of roots. Is this normal until they are rooted into the soil?

Cow Saki is likely correct. Keep them in a mildly humid environment if you can and let the soil dry out some. The soil drying out encourages roots to grow and reach out for water.

Clones often droop some when they are moved from the humid area to soil. The stress of changing grow locations might have made it worse than usual but they should be ok just after the next watering. Just watch them and let the soil dry until they start to look slightly worse and then give them water or a half strength organic fertilizer solution.

might be a good idea to put a plastic cup with couple of holes on them to keep the humidity high for start.
and don't get them to close to the light.
