How long till my clones start regrowth

Hello all! I am a newbie. My clones got shocked somehow when I transplanted them from my cloner into my big hydro unit. They shriveled up, turned white and stopped growing. The main stem is still green and there has been a tiny tiny tiny bit of new growth on some of the larger plants since I added revive. i don't know whether to allow these guys more time to recover or scratch them and start new seedlings. It has already been two weeks since the transplant with hardly any signs of recovery. I did a water change out and introduced nutrients for the first time yesterday. Again, the main stem is green and basically all of the leaves are toast. I will take pics and post them ASAP. I am stressed b/c i don't have many seeds left and really need these to pull through.:cry: So, how long do you give a plant to recover before you axe it?

Ouch dude, I would try to salvage what you can and plant it in dirt for now. Then study a bit before jumping into a complex hydro system and wasting your seeds. I wouldn't kill any of them, if they die they die, but you'd be surprised what could recover with the proper care. Using clones for your hydro setup is a good idea.

Thank you for replying. I don't understand why all are telling me to put them in dirt. i think they would really die then. These clones have been in the aero cloning machine their whole life and are now in the big aero. These are 1st gen clones from plant I grew from seed. I have never used dirt, this is my 2nd go around (the first being the plants i took these clones from) I do have a natural green thumb and have gotten great help from a couple of other sources even though my main one has gone silent. I did try to move a couple of my original boys into soil and they died right away. All my clones are girls, they seem to be coming back, just really slowly. Do you think that their growth is forever stunted or will they bounce back into normal growing time? :confused:
