are you using nutes? or are there nutes in the soil? how did the roots look before you transplanted? are there drainage holes on that pot?

judging by the bunchiness intervienally and the droopyness of the lower fan leaves, i would say too much ferts. if you are not watering with ph'd water this will be exasperated.

what type of soil is it in? please do not say miracle grow. and you say little white hairs.do you mean pistols?

I would def. transplant into new soil. something with no nutes and pickup some nutes you can add to water. MG soil is notorious for nute blasting and burning the hell out of plants. while you are at it, you are going to need at the minimum ph tester kit with up and down, prob around 10-15 bucks. test your tap water-adjust to 7. Very very light feedings to start maybe 1/4 strength. mg soil meant more for heavier bearing fruits and not your intended usage. although some plants can maage it, most get burnt by it.
these pistols were not there when you first got them? most likely they were or were just starting as the clones were probablytaken from a good mother who was mature. the pistols should be at the leaf nodes and not at the ends of the new growth areas. if at new growth areas than these clones were taken from a flowering mother and you will be revegging them and possibility for slow grwoth

that should work fine until they are about a foot tall, than you would probably want some type of Metal halide. just make sure you get some vermiculite or something to keep airation in the soil. you probably got some decent clones here so best to do the best you can. you wont regret it.
+rep for getting them out of that MG soil

just hold off on feeding them for a week as they prob have enough nutes stored-and make sure you ph your water
