These two clones were planted in there cloth wrapping that they came in from my friend. He said to plant them directly in the pot and roots will grow through. Been about 1.5 weeks and look like they’re still acclimating to the light and transplant. Always look a bit droopy. I’ve only watered when put is dry about every 3rd day and in frog fanny soil. On a 18/6 light schedule same as when they were when I bought them. I know my lights are stronger but just thought I’d see them perk up a bit. Thoughts? Think they just need time to acclimate more and get used to new home?

Well i'm no expert but i see what looks like new growth.
Can you tell me if the soil have been all wet so far?
And maybe how much water you give?

I wait till pot is dry watering about every 3rd day. I fed a little today about half recommended amount and lowered lights a bit. Using roots veg grow food

They need the rH to be higher so they don't work as hard to move water.
They don't like dry and they don't like wet.
They like MOIST.
water less but water more frequently

They’re making moves. 2 weeks from original pics. Should I pinch off some of those top fan leaves?

You have long internode spacing (distance between sets of leaves) on your plants. Pinching off top fan leaves opens up new branches on plants with short internodes but that isn't what you have. You either top (now that the plants are established) to get bushier plants or expect taller plants.

The plants in the pic below had 2 top leaves taken off of each plant to open up branches below. They will have 2 more leaves taken off the top soon to open up more branches. Taking leaves off the top of your plants doesn't open anything up much so I would top them instead of taking leaves off. There will be a few days delay if you do but you will get a shorter bushier plant.

Looking good so far I think. Topped both last week transplanting one to a 10 gallon pot which willl stay in the tent for an indoor grow and second was transplanted into a 25 gallon pot which willl go outside in next 30 days.

Update! I was going to wait till the end of this month before putting the 25 gallon outside and keep the 10 gal indoors but they’ve grown crazy the last week or so. I don’t think I can keep the 10 gal in this tent as she’s gotten to big. Thoughts?

These are now about 6-7 weeks into veg from when I brought the clones home. I’ve moved the big one outside today and the skinnier one I’m keeping inside under lights. I installed the scrog today and flipped over to 12/12. I’m a little nervous this thing is gonna get too tall for the tent. I could probably take the actual light off the hooks that suspend it and sit it directly on top of the two roof bars of the tent if I absolutely need too? The picture kinda sucks as my light timer just flipped off.

Start bending branches to the side inside of up if you can. It will even things out more. I use yarn or string to hold them down and you can tie to the net.
