Droopy Leaves on rooting clones (Pics)

Ok so i had some problems with my clones but they rooted very quickly.... Faster then i could get my grow tent set up and working... I had them in cups for about a week. I transplanted them and could see nice healthy root systems forming.

Im in the process today setting up my drip system... My leaves are extremely droopy and i think its because i haven't been watering enough and when i have i have been watering too much possibly. Not sure..

I need help on how many times a day i should turn the pump on and for how long???

Please help i think they're ok just wanna get them looking good again.

Jah Bless fellow Growers

yeah it looks like over to me. i usually do my pumps around 4-5 times daily for 15 minutes but with cups they are probably retaining water which could even drown roots. they need air if they're sitting in water.

Ya i took them out of the cups and transplanted them into the smartpots u see in the other three pictures... I set up the entire drip system yesterday but i only watered them once due to me finding out how droopy they are getting. Should i turn the light cycle off for a few hours to give them a break.. I have been running it 24/7 (or can u not just switch it like that. I looked at them this morning after only watering thme once yesterday and they are still extremely droopy.

When i went to bed last night the rockwool was still soaked so im hoping it dried out in the night and will look better this afternoon.. Anyone have any advice they can give?

Should i be applying nutes at this point or just ph'd distilled water

mine always drrop after transplant for about a week i put it down to settling in to their new homes, i let the rockwool dry right out so the roots have to search for water then start usual routine again, it can take a good week to dry out , due to all th epresoaking involved wit rockwool

also i foliar feed while the roots are settling down, wit 1/2 strength plant start nutrient sol

honestly i leave my water pumps and air pumps going 24/7. no prooblems here on my homemade DWC system

So should i just discontinue the watering right now.. I feel i should water using my flood table method right now even tho my drip system is in place.. So the roots have to go down and search for the water. So should i just foliar spray at the moment and discontinue watering????

thats cos of ya bubbler though m8, supplying oxygen to roots they wud suffocate and rot if constantly wet otherwise

kinda ooks like nitrogin overdose to me...but im not an indoor expert

all i can say is i let my medium dry out after initial soaking for transplant, but i water by hand into pots m8 so maybe someone more familiar with flood and drain systems can tell u if the same goes with that, does ya medium suck water up from the tray?
