Problems with a clone I bought

I'm not sure what it is there are so many things it could be. Are you even going to top those plants?

A plant will drop a bit after transplant

Thanks, I will definitely do that in the future. Both are showing signs maturity, so I am guessing they have been clones for a while.

I want to but I am not sure if I should wait because I just transplanted.
I would give it a couple days and if it were me i would top them at the 3rd or 4th node and so you could clone 2 more

What he said. Also sometimes they droop from light source switch. I imagine these were under t5s.
I usually acclimate them first.
Careful with the water. Don't overdo it

They were under T5's, so it was probably a big jump to the 600w hps.
I watered until it came out the bottom. I wont water again until it feels dry when I stick a finger in the soil. I am a bit worried about colder temperatures at the bottom of the 5gal pots. Seems to be quite cooler there. Especially since the air intake is blowing right at them (its right next to the pots).

Did you "harden" them or just go straight under the 600w @ 18/6? What is the temp in the tent?

I think it was a shock to the plants because I didn't harden them. When I first put them in my grow tent, it got up to about 93f before I had all of the kinks sorted out with figuring out the optimal set up for my intake/extraction.
Right now temps will range from 73f-86f with hps on and it with lights of its around 50f-65f. I am now using a temperature controlled heating pad I put under the plants to help keep the roots warm. I put the temperature sensor in the bottom of the soil so it will shut off when it reaches 70f.

And you've gone and tied em down
How old are they?
Was thinking about picking up a sunset sherbet & a jager clone next week!

I'm not sure how old the clones were but I have had them for a week. I have a grow journal as well, just added a white tahoe cookies clone in there to fill up the rest of the room. My tent is going to be completely packed when they start to flower.And you've gone and tied em down

Looks like classic transplant shock.. give it a table spoon of epsom salts per gal of water or you could do a table spoon of liquid seaweed extract per gal.
