They are in shock from transplanting. Dnt over water them thinking that water will do the trick. Water as needed. superthrive is used now to help with the stress.

Pics would help, but droopy leaves sounds kinda like overwater maybe. Superthrive will definitely help if it is transplant shock. When you water do you saturate the soil completely and then let it dry out completely? (not bone dry)

they are just over 4weeks old in a med of perlite n and aweek ago i transplanted all of them into bigger pots.once all were potted,i gave them all sufficient wter and left them for about 4 days b4 i watered them again,they were quite dry but did have alittle moisture left in the bottom,not much tho!but they still looked ok(the leaves)!so i gave them more water the problem was that i didnt have enough water that had stood for 24 hrs to aid with chlorine to saturated them all throughout!so i spread it out evenly,giving them each a decent amount of water and the next day noticing my leaves drooping i gave them more think it hadnt been enough.now i ve also changed my plant food recently from chemicult hydro nut powder to nitrosol natural organic plant food,which i think im using too much of!not sure how to upload pics?

did you water before transplant? dry roots are easier to damage and send into shock.

if i remember correctly they still had abit of moisture in the med when i was transplanting them!im thinking of just flushing out the med with water,ive got some RT BUFF a ph concentrate.it increases stability of ph sensitive agricultural chemicals,not sure if its any good and but dont want to do anything b4 i know for sure!gonna try to upload some pics!!!

if ur using cfl to veg ur light should be 3-4inches from the plants at all times.
when u water saturate the soil until the water just beggins to drain from the drain holes at the bottom of ya pot, leave the top 3inches dry out and water again the same.
a good idea is to buy a water moisture meter, the type with a single probe that doesnt need batteries their very cheap and very helpfull when it comes to watering.
