NEVER take a newly rooted clone straight into a soil mix that hot (rich). Next time put them into a seedling soil or raw medium. If you HAVE to use the FFOF make it a 10% mix with other soil or a TON of perlite.

You knocked them on their asses. Now get them out and into something way less hot.

Or leave them for two weeks while they get moving...slowly. They WILL take off but it is way too harsh coming from a cloner into that soil. If you give them two weeks in a dixie cup of start soil you will be amazed what they do in the FFOF.

Next time you can confirm this yourself by looking at the ingredients on the bag:
The earthworm castings, fish emulsion, crab meal, shrimp meal, fossilized bat guano, rock phosphate, kelp meal are all nutrients. Worm castings and fish emulsion by themselves and in small quantities are usually fine for seedlings but all of these other ingredients together makes the stuff pretty potent.

You need to use a buffer layer of soil to let them find their way to the newer soil. It's like sticking your foot into a hot bath. You don't jump right into a hot tub.

I watered them last night and they seem to be looking a little more healthy the yellow looks to be going away slightly in some spots or atleast not getting worse there looks to be some new growth at the top of it
