Droopy Leaves ( pictures)

So before i start... I transplanted clones into smart pots the other day with hydroton.. The roots grew out of a net pot about 2 to 3 inches before i could plant them into the smart pots filled with hydroton.. I think they have been fine just the really droopy leaves scare me.. I made the mistake of soaking the rockwool cube three days ago and the leaves still show the signs of this.

I was really careful to not damage the roots hanging out and i gently set the net pot all together in the hydroton filled smart pots. I dont think that can be the culprit of this but i dont know?? I hear leaves tend to droop all together when they are finding new soil and more roots are growing.

Let me not forget to tell you that the conditions have been 74 to 85 degrees F, and humidity from 50 to 70. I have fans that vent and all the conditions seem right..

I set up my drip system but havent used it yet because i still have an overflow valve and wanted to draw the roots downward so i wuldnt get the rw cube wet

You got to let em dry out. Hydroton can hold water for a good long while (you are surprised :razz:). When they do dry out again... feed them a little more than you have been.

So your saying i should just stop watering them all together ??? Until the leafs pop back up i dont know.. Cant they just not pop up and die laying down like that and i wont even know if the roots are getting water.. Or will the leaves always perk up when they need the water????

Bumppppp!

My leaves are really dry and some of them are dead all together and turning all yellow very quickly.. I have set the drip system to Water 15 min three times a day.... Does that sound right?
