Is this clone transplant shock?

[landman77]

A friend got me these, he was helping out at a company that sells high end clones. The Cap Junky had very long roots and the Blue Zushi just started showing roots. Both were started in rock wool and I put them in FFOF soil with a half a teaspoon of Bigfoot mico granules per plant. They are under 125w hps light, 72f and humidity of 36-40 18/6 light schedule. 6.5 pH purified water only. My goal was to get them rooted in the 4" pots and then put them in 5 gallon grow bags with coco loco and concentrated live soil 1/3 way in the bottom of bag, and top feed with compost tea when needed.

They look very wet they are probably dropping from to much water

You might want to find a way to raise the humidity till there properly rooted

125w won’t cover six plants when they get older it will only really cover one your going to need to get a better light

What do you see here that looks like shock?
The stems purpling is a sign of mild stress. They may have come pre-stressed from a stressed mother.
Ocean forest is a dense and hot mix. Next time try adding some perlite or rice hulls to help dry-backs.
I suggest avoiding feeding them anything more until they show signs of needing it.
They should straighten out their leaves and green up once they dry back and consume some of the nutrient in the FFOF.
B vitamins can help with their purpling stalks, but without finding the source of the stress it will continue.

I bought a small humidifier, hopefully that helps bring up the humidity. I've got a 400w in my grow box it's 3.5' by 3.5' and 7' tall. I haven't grown in about 4 or 5 years and I'm definitely going to get a LED light I just don't know what to get. Thank you for your comment and help.

That light will cover them for now anyways and you have a 400w ( guess thats a hid ) to back you up. Till you figure so guess there’s no rush

Enjoy the adventure

The purple is fading fast on the stems. They were driven up from Rhode Island and sat in a truck for about 2 hrs in 20 degree weather. Also the roots on the cap junky looked root bound, there was a lot coming out of the bottom of the rock wool. It was very dense, when I planted them I didn't want to injure them and an air pocket was formed around the roots. I lightly filled it in and added a little soil. I have only given them water when the top inch or 2 is dry. The soil was frozen when I bought it and it took days to defrost, it was very wet so I didn't water when transplanting. They have put in some growth since those pics were taken 2 days ago. Thank you for your help I grabbed some perilite to mix in when I transplant them in the bigger bags for the grow room.
