Clones to flower

Do the clones wilt or shrivel some for the first few days when placed directly to flower? Or is there something else wrong? I'm on day 2 and they look like there down a tad. Clone light schedule was 24/0 and now 12/12 flower.

PPM is 900, nutes are House and Garden Flake A&B, H202 35% grade @ 1ml per gallon, and Roots Excelurator @ 1ml per gallon. Rez is PH'd to 5.5-5.6.

Light is 600W HPS. Hydro Ebb & Flow.

Pics are before and after!

Just wondering if this is normal?

Feeding schedule was only twice on day one, and the first flood, I hand feed through top as well just to make sure it got something to the roots!

yeah they do, its normal. they don't have roots to soak up water. make sure the humidity is high and i always like to spray mine down with water. i prefer to let mine get some roots before i stick em into flower too.

Will spray them now since the light is off and raise humidity. Thanks for confirming that for me....Will post an update soon.

PPM seems awful high for clones. They hardly need any nutes at all. Are these fresh cuttings or well-rooted clones? If they're fresh you should definitely use a humidity dome.

No, there fully rooted. They have about 6 roots out the bottom when I transferred them to perlite into hydro. Up to this point, they have had zero nutes.

Which is why you should have started off slow, something like 300 PPM.

Well, I will add some water to the tank tonight and get the PPM down to what ever I can. Thanks for the help. I'm clueless on this whole hydro stuff. I thought Al B Fuct was doing clones straight to flower at 1400PPM, so I figured 900 was going to be ok.

Came home, and it perk right back to normal. Hopefully will see some growth in the next week. Im sure it take a good week to shoot off in the growth adpating to new conditions and rooting to uptake nutes and what not.

You're probably right. Good luck.
