plants look sad?

wondering why my plants look sad gave them a good feeding 3 days ago and they were happy today they look sad i transplanted them to five gallon pots today also.before transplanting they looked sad the soil was completely dry when a planted them i gave them a good drink of water so im hoping they perk up they are 24 days old under a 400w mh what do u guys think

How far are your lights and what kind of lights

Ok sorry how far is your light and are you running cool tube ? Also temp and humidity

light is 20inches away and not hot to the hand temp is 27c dont know the humidity

Drop the light 2 inches get a humidity reader and try drop the temp a couple of degrees

thanks turbo head appreciate it i also think i may have underwatered them a bit but def gonna do your suggestions

All good man

Don't do anything. You transplanted. That will cause them to droop. Especially if you were a little rough.

Last thing you want to do is move the light closer when they are already stressed.

Chill, they will bounce back.

If the soil was totally dry they were probably just thirsty. They droop when they're dehydrated. Did you water them since you transplanted?

perked up really well this morning

Pic ?

As for me they looked sad because overwatering.

nice so they are all moved in there new home and they are getting comfy..next time make sure they are a bit damp when transplanting and they wont miss a beat on the transfer

In a soil like medium it is best to allow the medium to dry out and transplant at the point of watering. After the transplant give them lots of water until they come out of the transplant shock. After they have become stable then you can safely move the light closer and slack back on the water.

I dont think its best at all. You should try transplanting one time when the plant is 50% damp. It must have a good root system so it doesnt fall apart. If it doesnt have a good root system then its not time to transplant. Then you wont have to drown them and throw them into shock. You can give them a reg size drink after transplant and they will jump on you watering schedule faster...wont suffer from over watering stress at all. Its not transplant shock here, its over watering..trying to compensate for the complete dry out of the plant before transfer

At the "point of watering" is not completely dried out.
