Man....I am glad your grow tent didn't cause you any blues. I had a habitat that killed a crop, and made another one turn yellow and almost die....saved 7 out of `10 from that grow, and 3 were girls....got some good buds too...once I took them out of the tent.
Don't worry....it happened within 2 to 3 weeks. Started to lighten, then turn lime green, then yellow, then went limp and DIED.
I took the second crop out when they were lime green and after 2 weeks they were lush again. They vegged 7 weeks to reach 14", however....so their growth was severly stunted.
Anyway...babbling brook......I'll shut the fuck up now.

plant looks really healthy and is a nice color green, the leaves do not really show over watering....plants that size you should really only need to water once a week. But sometime when they are still that small you are tempted to fool around with them a lot, or at least I did my frist grow:-P

Sounds Like its time to repot your plants....Also when it comes to watering your plants stick your pinky in the dirt if it feels dry water, if its still wet then wait....During veg. I usually only water 2-3 times a week.

If you can get a bigger diameter pot you can just fill it with soil and cut bottom off pot plant is already in and just set it in the bigger pot full of dirt. non stressfull and it works like a charm, no mess either. WIN WIN!! Do this the day you start flowering. from now on only water the plant when it is almost completely dry or shows signs of wilting, you dont want any dirt to be kept wet for long periods, causes root rot.

Cloning in perlite is fine. PH from 5.6-7.0 will work, rockwool cubes work better IMO, less mess (None) and easier to transplant into new medium.

they look very healthy and no it doesn't look like over watering. when you water the leafs will go down due to the fact that they are brining up water to the plant

they look great :) but i would change the pots, and lower the PH a little... 5.5-5.8
the roots will form better and and the stress will be minimal from the transplant
