Leaf problems. Help please

Hi everyone, I have had 2 young clones for about a week now. Things arent going as smoothly as they usually do. When i recieved the clones they looked happy and healthy as usual. As soon as i put them under my lighting they immediatly drooped over and looked like hell. I figured they were just a little shocked from the move and hoped they would pick up with time. A couple days ago they started picking up but now the leaves are starting to change all yellow and brown. The 2 clones are about 5in tall and in 16oz cups under 4 26w 6500k cfls with reflectors. The guy i got them from said he transplanted them from hydro into soil 1 day before i got them so thats most likely why they had a rough start. He also said it would be a good idea to give them a very light feeding once the soil dried out. Once the soild dried up(3 days ago) i gave them a little feeding of fox farm grow big. Mixing at 1 teaspoon per gallon(using RO water) and ph corrected to 6.5, temps are at 75*F, humidity a little low at 34%(I plan on putting a humidifier in the room tonight). After they started drooping i raised the lights to about 5in away from the plants, hoping this would ease their transition. I know this is a very magnisium hungry strain but im afraid to just start adding a little epsom salt this early in. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you guys think? Thanks

if their small clones they prolly can live of the nutes in the soil...sounds like they are just trippin over the move and transplant...but i would say grab some FFBigBloom too, it works great with the grow big and tiger bloom.

Thanks for the link! Its by far one of the best problem solvers Ive found. As I thought before posting this ,to me(rookie grower), I would say it looks like they are potassium and or magnesium deficient. My main question is if this is caused due to the new home and move from hydro to soil? Or if there is legitimately a problem with the soil that is causing this? How long should it take for the plants to adjust to the new home? Maybe ill try foliar feeding a little bit as that would seem to be a safer route then feeding the next time they need to water again, or do both, or neither and just watch to see what happens? Opinions please. Thanks!

i think you need to keep your relative humidity up to like 80% for clones. they dont look like they've been in a humidome

I guess the yellowing has seemed to slow, maybe at this point only time will tell. Any one else have any thoughts on this?
