So i just put in the 24 clones i bought and turned on my 3 1000 lights. some of them have fanned out and all limp. I watered them in small amounts over 2 hours, after i put them in the dirt to give them a good transition. Why are they limp and what have i done wrong ? what should i do to fix the problem.

Wanna give all the specs of your system. IE. Temps, Hum, ph, medium, ect. Plus pictures are extremely helpful if I am to diagnose.

temp is constant 80 degrees, hum is at 40% ph is 5.5 and medium is rockwool. i have a cam but no usb cables (looking for cable like madman).

hopfully you can diagnose with that for now. getting pix asap

Your RH in the clone state should be around 60-70%. Now it is excessive to bomb your clones under hid's especially 1,000 watters. Flourescents should get you by till a MH. If you do continue to choose your hid's for clones just put them on the perimeter.

im not a pro but i think the 3 x 1000watts are for something
i dont think they need that much for now

The clones are back up straight. since they reajusted this fast i must assumed it was the HPS lights. i added a wide plastic pan filled with water to raise room RH. any more efficient ways to do that ?

Yo man.. So that's all pretty much perfect advice.. you need the humidity to be higher for good root development and the 1000's are waaaay too much.. i always use florecents for my clones.. hopefully you used a rooting gel for your cuttings cause that makes a rediculous difference in the clones development.. assuming you know how to clone or that you did it right, clones are naturally limp man.. the plants concentrating all their energy on building a root structure so i wouldn't worry about it if everything else is all good.. good luck bro, i'm sure it will be fine
