I don’t have a heating pad laying around, I may pick one up tho after reading these comments.Can you get a seedling heat mat to put the pots over? I always use one when rooting clones initially... did you thoroughly saturate the soil when you first put them in it? Just thinking maybe the root hit an air pocket and got stunted or something? Definitely could stand to be warmer over all.
So i just rooted 15 clones. I transplanted into solo cups from the cloner and right into my veg tent, no domes, no humidifier. I set my high temp on my controller to 82F, rh is set at 65%, i didnt even mist them when i transplanted, just sent them to their home and they are happy. Clones need warmer temps than most plants because they can't produce good healthy roots when its cold. If you're room is at 72, and the pots sit on the floor, chances are the soil temp is probably 5 degrees lower since its damp/wet. I bet if you bump that temp up, they will come around.I don’t have a heating pad laying around, I may pick one up tho after reading these comments.
Yes I gave them a good watering during transplant, to the point of slight runoff but not excessive. Same as I’ve done in the past.
Slightly below 72 causing this much droop/stress…? Iunno dudes..
It’s a combination of the cold temps and light intensity. It’s not warm enough to stimulate root growth therefore it couldn’t handle the light intensity. I’m basically 100% sure that’s the problem.I don’t have a heating pad laying around, I may pick one up tho after reading these comments.

Plus one, this is good advice. I do a lot of clones as well. If they don't have established roots yet, misting them with super thrive has worked wonders for me.So i just rooted 15 clones.

I think you need a real heater, a warm air humidifier is only going to do so much. I know when I'm cloning they love that heat mat up until I move them into bigger homesThanks for the replies fellas, didn’t think I’d be battling low temps but they are clones.. makes sense they want it warmer. My humidifier seems to be lowering temp as well with a cooling effect. What you guys think about a humidifier with a warming feature? Any experience with one? Maybe instead of running a damn heater…
Yeah I don't think a heat mat or warm humidifier will be enough, mat might help keep the soil warm, but he needs to get the room temp up too. The little radiator style oil heaters are relatively safe and efficient, and slightly less drying than the hot air blowing style. I have one in my smoke room, it has a timer and 5 different temp options plus hi, lo, ans eco mode. Got it on Amazon for like 70 bucks I think.I think you need a real heater, a warm air humidifier is only going to do so much.

I’d mist the plug on the 2 in the last pic. They are doing the dry wilt
Soft limp stems means no water.
I highly advise starting in smaller pots next time before going to buckets
Concerning the two in the last picture, the one in the back was watered 3 days ago at transplant. The one in the front was transplanted and watered the same day but yesterday I repotted it (plain foxfarm ocean Forest) and watered it in again. Moisture meter on the back one is reading 7 out of 10 after 3 days. You all really think they are wilting from lack of water? I was thinking the opposite like they need more time between watering.. I went thru this before and thought I overwatered the last ones that I trashed.Soak that media. Pump the heat to 82.
