Starting new grow clones in hydro...

As it says above. I took these clones a couple weeks ago and all have a very nice amount of roots. I have taken clones many times and grown them in soil with no issues. It was a while ago and I don't recall exactly what I did with lights etc..
I'm wondering what others thoughts are.
I moved these clones into this hydro table yesterday. I have grown this type of table before and I like it because of all the control but it was with seedlings.

This is a 600 watt running with another 600 watt in the room close by but not right on the plants.
The water was spraying on the clones in the cloner for 30 on 30 off, I put it in the table at 30 min on 1 hr off. I don't want to drown the roots it ran like this over night with no issues but this afternoon I noticed some DROOP in all the plants. Mostly the lower branches are drooping with some laying down on the ground. I changed the water to 30 on/off.
I'm attaching two pics one is right after the transplant they are still upright, the second is this afternoon with some droop.

I'm thinking its a mix of shock from transplant and shock from having the 600 watt hps over them. While in the cloner they were under 2 t12's 6500k. The 600 watt is currently about 4' over them, I think in this pic it was 3'.

Whats your thought?

Edit: sorry about the lights, I literally have no other lights in the room. But I will get some shots tonight right after lights out. with a flash light.

I'm sure they are shocked, that's a big change. Keep your humidity up for a few days if you can, maybe set up a shade cloth over them.

I'm assuming it is a wilt situation from not being able to keep water retention up from increased transpiration, but I can't tell that from you photos, better photos will get you a better guess.

Yep thanks man they were shocked pretty hard. But they got better I put the light back up 4.5 ft over them and took the fan off them to help them keep the moisture. They bounced back after a day and half and then I let the light back down and put the fan on. They've been strong and taking off.
