New clone checkup?

I received my first clone on February 15, and for the first 12 days I kept it in moist rock wool. Last Friday I planted it in Fox Farms happy frog soil and put it in a space bucket.

Since this is my first time planting, I'd appreciate your feedback about the health of this plant.

In particular I'm concerned about two things:

1. The stems have turned purple.
2. The top of the plant is looking bushy, and the base of new leaves look shriveled and yellow.

So far I've been watering the plant a little bit every couple of days swapping in the recommended Fox Farms Big Bloom with every other watering as recommended on the chart that came with the fertilizer.

So what do you think? Does this plant look good, or is there something else I should be doing?

Back off with the watering and the big bloom.....

Thanks for the advice, sly. Will do. Any idea when I can expect to see an improvement?

I agree with sly, they dont need any nutes yet. Also be aware happy frog holds alot of water. I cut it half and half with ocean and forest for my starts. This helps prevent over watering and gives them plenty of nutes for the first 2-3 weeks

To be on the safe side, maybe 7-10 days before they will get back to strength.... Patience is always the key...
