have you givin um any nutrients for cuttings to help um establish good strong healthy roots,,,yeh cuttings often are droopy at first,,but once they get used to their new inviroment they should start to perk up within a few days,,,i think you shoud raise ya light up more to about 24" just for a few days and then lower it bit by bit just to give um time to get used to it,,,

I had the same problem, it was the 1000w light at about 48" away. Thought they would all die. Turned off the HID and went back to some old 4' gro fluorescents, no nutes. They all came back and are just beautiful now.
The problem is the roots are not developed enough to deliver more water than than the hot lights are evaporating off the leaves. Poof, wilting plants. They do need light though.
I recommend the 24" T5 gro fluorescents, About $25USe. Wait til the roots are developed then go back to that HID bad boy.
