I bought three wedding cake clones from my local shop, roots were coming out the bottom of rockwool. Transplanted same day in new but not so good of soil(too compact),fixed that now with soil with perlite.I use a mars hydro ts1000 at about 30 inches and 50 percent power, but I did get a little gungHo and raise power to 75 the 85 within about a week. Since then they have grown but a little rough looking. I have now turned the power back down to 50 % and am waiting.
What all do you guys and gals see that I am not maybe? Thank you

Could just be from the light I see white tips that's usually associated with light intensity. However 150 watts shouldn't have any kind of intensity issue at 30 inches, so running 70 to 85% should be fine. Unless the producer's used t5's for veg or cheap blurples, then plants will need a short adjustment period. Could be a root issue from the transplant or it hasn't recovered from the probable over watering in compact soil. The leaves favor magnesium deficiency but it all could stem from a ph issue. Plants take longer than expected to recover and they look worse before they look better. Have to watch the new growth to determine if an issue still persist. Or with a deficiency watch for a continuation of the deficiency spreading.

The shop I bought them from had them under florescent lights,most likely t5. I forgot to use a ppfd app when I was there to get my light similar in intensity. The care guide they gave said low light and this being my first clone grow and inside grow. 30 inches and 50% power is around 175-200 ppfd. I just checked my garage that has a 4light t8 and it is right above 50ppfd at around the distance they had the clones. And my 3 cfl setup that I use to start seeds is around 100ppfd.

I only pay attention to the ppfd chart of a light I'm looking at, once I get it hung up not so much. I veg in a 3x3 under 192 watts of fluorescent once I move them to flower I start at 360 watts in a 4x4. Run that for a month then 75% run that for a month then 100% mine only get full light for about a month or two depending on flower time.

However I run 720 watts in the 4x4

I have had them 2 weeks in crumby compacted soil most likely getting over watered and on top of me changing light intensity. They have been in better soil now for 3 days, and I watered right before the picture this morning... This soil is drying out in 2 to 3 days compared to the previous stuff(leftover that I had for the front and back lawn). Don't do that again maybe.

Another 6 days 9/8
On my notes I think I put the light to just about 75% intensity just the day after I got them 8/28

Purple stems … lack of uptake.
Clones I tend to give a good dusting of myco goodness to temper any weird transplant shock.

Stupid of me using getting Amends topper and potting soil( Kellogg brand). But I use if for my lawn, that might be what I get for being cheap. The amends potting soil had lots of wood chips, topper not so much.

Wanted to respond back to all who helped,

IMG_20211014_170403211_HDR.jpg. October 14. Switched from ts1000 light to ts2000
IMG_20211021_110336847_HDR.jpg October 21. Repotted to bigger containers and replaced miracle grow soil>>>with fox farms.
Plant in the front left is a bagseed from a shop started before purchasing clones.
