The reasons you've already listed are probably most of the reason for the apparent minty green color and droopiness. If they are still growing though, I'm sure they will make it and do well after the soil upgrade.

day 17 update: post transplant
"lil girl" took it alright, just minor yellowing on the lower leaves, but nothing to worry about.
"big girl" took it just fine, and since I put a fan on both plants all day yesterday, has spread out her leaves and lookin real healthy
Soon I will be getting at least one more light (4-26w 6500), perilite, additional potting soil, and a fan. From there I will also take down my cheap light hood (posterboard with mylar glued) and encasing everything with it.
My ole lady gets laid off for the holidays (she does every year, nothing to worry about there) and will be home ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time, so my updates with pics may be infrequent, but promise to do it when i can.

that's good man 
i just read your post on my thread..
lol @ i'm not even high but got confused..
i had a bad past with transplanting
so, i had to ask a good way to do it..
& surprisingly.. i actually did it the right way..
she fell right out with the soil in the shape of the pot..
but did look a bit root bound..
the soil was growing upwards, rather than down..
she had no space to spread her roots..
but, all is fine now.. hopefully she survives
anyway, can't wait to see pictures of your babies
& glad that they are doing fine as of now & throughout it..
keep us UPDATED my friend good luck!!

No I never had a grow journal, I just had a couple of threads. I won't make a grow journal because I have no cam at the moment but I will still compare mine to yours since they are about the same age.

how they doin so far jon?
compare them to rasta too, he is just about half to a week behind mine.
Mr pacific is about a week ahead of me
Non Pic Update: Day 19
Leaving the door open has really helped perk them up. They are still "droopin" just a little bit but looking pretty healthy.
"Lil Girl" hasn't yellowed at all any more and is doing just fine, though because she more then likely seems to be a different strain isn't growing as fast as "big girl"
The 5-leaf sets have started spreading out a bit on both and i am also getting very small secondary growth on the nodes.
Will update with pics when i can

Day 20:
man they are lookin good. Real spread out, temps at constant 70. Still lookin to stock up this weekend. and as soon as i get a chance I will get pics~!
Also, rasta and Mr. Pacific - Whats your light sched? I suppose if you were both runnin 24 hours that would make sense if yours are growin so much faster then mine, if not then i dunno

I'm doing 24/0 with an occasional day of 20/4 thrown in.

i'm on 18/6..
i don't like 24/0 nor have i tried it..
i like my plant to get her rest..
she droops 30 minutes before lights off..
then perks back up 30 minutes before lights on..
my first plant had done that also..
i asked around why she was drooping..
they said she was sleeping..
that was with my first grow though..
so i can assume the same with this grow as well..
what's your light schedule?

Sorry guys, I went on to post pics but its not letting me..... now that I got pics I can just load them when shes smokin or something. Since i typed everything up, i figure why waste it. Here is what I WAS going to post.....
------------------------
Day 26: UPDATE WITH PICS!
Looking good, though getting a little cold (mid 60's) I am going to just block it up a little more to retain a little heat. "Big Girl" is def leadin the pack, so very likely a totally different strain. "Lil Girl" is a champ, slowly going about her business.
Still no perilite, no extra soil, no fan. Money is TIGHT - I can't drop any extra money on ANYTHING. Sack lunches to work and shit just to get by.....
I'm alright, but I make sure shit is taken care of before I spend it on these things. My kids have clothes and there is plenty of food in the cabinet. I in sales and it is TOUGH sellin right now. I'm livin on 60% of what I was makin just 6 months ago (but at least I have a job).
ANYWAYS: to the pics. Sorry I have not updated I just got a shot today cause my ole lady is runnin to dollar general.
How they lookin?

Well I have not been on here in a while but my 3 plants are doing good. One is growing really fast and the second is right behind it but growing a bit slower. Well the third is growing really slow it does not even have the 5 leaf yet but the other two have like 7 by now. The first two are from the same strain of seed and im pretty sure the third that is growing slowly is from a different strain. I think that is why it is growing so slowly. Anyways hopefully one will be female at least.

Day 33: Still looking real good.
No nutes yet, but I'm wondering what I should start looking into?
Soil is regular scotts potting soil.

yea those were day 26, and yea i agree they look small.
I would imagine thats from the temps being about 65-65
