My Plants are DYING! Droopy!

Hey ive gotten a few clones from Harborside, and after about 5-7 days they are droopy! All except one... the expensive clone i bought is still standing tall BUT they all hardly smell anymore, they had a nice minty smell its almost as if its stopped growing as well! They are in 5 gallon fox farm ocean forest -- I only gave them 1/2 tsp per gallon of Great White, hardly watered them.... why are they so droopy? also the lighting is better than it looks, very reflective box once i put the wall back on, I recently moved them closer to the light, will they survive!??? why'd they lose their minty smell they had when i first bought, all the leaves are still green they gonna die?

This could be multiple things... how is your PH? Have you had any leaf burn? I noticed some of your leaves have had the ends snipped off.

I bought the clones like that, they had em snipped off, i have not tested PH because i havent added nutrients yet.... is losing the minty smell normal? what do i suggest i do, ive watered them more i dont want these babies to die!

PH should be checked of water you are using regardless of nutes.
Dont worry bout the smell, has little or nothing to do with it really.

Be careful watering, over watering is just as bad as under watering, and not know the PH of your water, you could just be adding to the misery. get that ph checked

Im not using tap water, using bottled safeway water but it says 'Enhanced Minerals Added for Fresh Taste' :O Ill buy a PH kit at my local hydro store, thought PH was to check the soil, does the same digital scale test water or will i have to buy two? honestly i dont think this is it, so PLEASE more help guys, im sure u've had same problems?

they need to be watered.. lol that soil looks dry as all hell.. i think they just need liquid.

you said you hardly watered them that could be the problem give them a little water they might perk back up

Mike, i think so too lol always been paranoid as fuck bout watering them, ill show u the video i watched, this is how much i water them, only two plastic water bottles full, just like the vid, thinking too little? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMbL1rs905E

when you water, you want to see a little leak out the bottom drain holes.
water only when top layer is completely dry and possibly even stick finger into soil bout an inch and check.
