How did the roots look when you transplanted them?

I'm new to growing mj but have grown a lot of veggies using hydro. So I wanna ask a few questions about the clones, environment and growing system. It also might take them a few days to adjust to the new environment.
Did the clones have good roots on them already?
What's the temp in the room they are in?
What's the ph of your solution and is it actually touching the roots?

Yes they had a good amount of roots on them , the thing is they were rooted In Rockwool and soil so I had to wash the roots off so I’m not sure if I did any damage ... my tent stays around 71 degrees and around 50% humidity , ph is at 5.9 and no the water is not touching the roots .... I set about 3-4 layers of of rocks set them down gently and gently backfilled and set the water level so it’s just splashing the bottom of the net pot

When I transplant into my setups, I usually let some of the roots touch the solution. not fully submerged but touching. It looks to me like they aren't getting any solution. I would grab a cup and hand water it with the solution in your bucket until the roots are sticking out of the pot at the bottom.
Use a little foliar spray. And a little mist daily they juste use transpiration a little more in their new environment. They should adapte. So don't go all drastic. Allow more humidity arount canopy. Clone need a good 70% humidity until roots are well adapte. Of course there was some damage when you wash it but i would be to worried. I'd check the rockwool see if its not to humid but i doubt it

Patience is a virtue...
I've had clones fall slap over and crumple to the ground after a transplant...I mean look as though they were dead for sure. I left it alone and in two days, that withered, scraggly thing, was standing back up and soon began to put out new vegetation. Plants in general are extraordinary creations. Good luck.

It’s because you took them from soil to hydro. That’s kinda taboo. The organisms in soil and the dirt itself act as a buffer. The plant is getting everything it needs directly now so it has to adjust. The shock from that is tremendous but it should bounce back. It’s just going to need a minute

Oh and touching the root mass is taboo as well most cannabis give negative reactions to that

Were the clones in a dome before transplant? If so then next time you should harden them prior to transplant by taking the dome off for like an hour the first day, two hours the next day, 4 hours the day after that, then 8 and then transplant. After transplant, starting them with the lights dimmed or up high and easing them into the more intense lighting one day at a time helps.
Yeah I am waiting for a new pen now learned not to buy the cheap ones off Amazon
i don’t know if they were in a dome or not I got them from the dispensary this size
I’m measuring ph and e/c but I am waiting on a new ph pen.. it’s been a little cold in my garage but it doesn’t get under 67 in the tent at night...how can I raise humidity without humidifier?i am using rapid start from gh
I actually do have a humidifier I’ll put it in there and try the foliar spray thank you for you help it is very much appreciated

What all have you done since posting? (I'm sorry if it comes off as rude, i don't mean it that way. I am just curious.)
I noticed you have been spraying them. Is it just water or nutes? How are they looking today?

Hey no offense taken . YeAh I have been spraying them with 150ppm nut and I put a humidifier in there so humidity is at 70% they are looking a little better but still looking sad

Compare the pics you sent from the start of this post to now...notice your leave petioles are more up than down...they're trying to come back; be patient. I have no experience growing the way you are, but should your hydroton look so dry or is it wet underneath? Just curious.
