Wilting after transplaning..

So Ive had my seedlings in 4" cubes for just over 2 weeks feeding only ph 5.5 water.

Decided to pot them up in my 60/40 coco/pebbles as there was a decent amount of roots coming through the bottom of the cubes. Put them in the tent under 400w mh, Fed them a little ph'd water and left them overnight.

When I checked this morning 2/3 of the seedlings have wilted badly , no yellowing or discoulering. Suprisingly one of the seedlings looks to be thriving well, no wilting at all and exactly the same conditions!

Is this just normal stress from transplanting? Will they recover?

I would really appreciate any advice you can give.

sounds like a heat problem. on/off temps of canopy (and root-zones)?
off chance of light damage to roots. are roots visible? also, distance of light to canopy?
If you fix the problem, yes they will recover unless autos.

did you have your plants under a different light? Move the light higher 2 to 3 feet for a day or two till they harden off.

Gave the leaves a spray and raised the lights a little more like suggested , seeing improvements already! Thanks for the help guys

a good saturation after transplanting is important
