I planted this clone 4 days ago, it looked fine, all of the other ones look okay, this one is doing some weird downward curling inward type thing. Anyone know what could be up? The leaves are not dry or crispy. The cube that it's in his wet but not soaked.

I don't remember ever seeing a new planted clone do that. First guess is water stress and then you left her right under lights. Recommend you pull it back about 2 feet from T5 HO or farther from a MH until she becomes reactive again. We need to know the big 4.. Light, wind, water and nutes. Also are you setting PH? Are you using tap water?

PH is that of FFOF Flushed with about 5 gallons of hose water. Tap water out here is good tasting, not sure about mineral and nutrient content. There is a breeze from the fan in the room. Using tap water yes, all 6 plants I am just keeping the rockwool cube moist. Only one is reacting this way. They are 2 feet from 1000 watt hps

Wow man 1k 24" kind of close for 4 day old clones. Back them off.

Don't keep the cube moist now you go straight to watering and letting the pot dry out. At first with clones nothing will be happening up top and just a 6500k flouro is all that is needed. The plant is building a root system and i keep mine 8 inches to 1 foot away from T5. When the top bursts out new growth you wil be under normal growth until/unless you transplant.. If you move her back and let her breath she will recover I would bet

Edit: can't see but if cube not buried make sure it is at least a little.. Otherwise yeah the roots in top of cube may dry out

I thought the top of the cube was supposed to be at the same level as the soil so that the soil doesn't touch the stem?

Possibly that is good somehow that I was never made aware. I been burying mine for years and have never had any sign of stress. Each time I transplant I bury them deeper too and when I take clones if the site is low enough I bury it up to where I cut. Later when I take down the plant I see roots came out of the cutting site.
