what is wrong with these clones?

The new foliage (top leaves) on this plant seems to be curling downwards. Do you guys know what caused this. These are freshly planted clones.

Dont water it for a good day or two, and see if it perks up. I used to water as part of routine, rather than when needed and had similar issues. Once I stopped routine and started listening, they're growing a hell of a lot better. :)

Sometimes it takes a clone a day or two to recover from the stress of the transplant into soil. Sagging for a day or two is almost normal.

The sagging was present when I bought the clone. Do you guys think this plant will recover and start growing strong. It doesn't seem to be dying either. It seems like it's in a slow growth state. Thanks a lot.

It will come to soon now that you planted it.

You can put a clear plastic cake cover over it if you have a tall enough one. Mist the plant as it goes in. This will boost humidity to 90%+ the leaves will feed and perk up untill the roots take. try to let it out every day untill it doesn't drop. After an hour or two if no drop it is good to stay out. At most this should take a day or two tops.

I clone in glass jars. I cut the clone, put it in water ( never use rooting gel), and put it in a small glass jar, covered with saran wrap with a hole in it. Then I put a larger jar over the whole thing. It allows for the humidity it needs, and keeps my stoner kitties from eating it. I then put it under a flourescent light over my kitchen sink and in about 4-5 days, you'll have the beginnings of roots. I let the roots grow to about an inch or two long, then plant.

I have been fortunate enough to have about a 99% success rate.
