New Clones Dying-Help!

I just got 5 new clones yesterday and it seems they are drooping...is this from too much light? I have a 400 watt mh on 24/0 about 20 inches away. I just moved the light to about 34 inches. Let me know what you guys think.

Have you misted them yet? If not they will need to be misted at least once a day, preferably 2-3 times a day. But other then that they look fine. As far as light goes I have heard 2 schools of thought on that. Some think that more light is better. But from my experience, I put mine under my 4' flo's and they wilted bad. Then I went out there the next day and the light had broken and was turned off and the clones were green and perky. So for my next batch I just cut them and put them on top of my entertainment center just to get a little bit of light. And they have now been flowering for about 4 weeks.

I have also had a similar problem. I will post a picture of my plants. I have 3 clones and 2 of them are doing good. I put them in soil 2 days ago and watered them with 1quart of water each. The 2 healthy ones sucked it up so I gave them water again. 1 of them is almost dead. She looked bad and I was reading some posts and it sounded like she needed more water. I don't know if i should take her out and put a new one in or if there is still hope. I have a 600watt HPS light going but its on 75% dim so est. 450watts. I was planning on keeping on water for a week and then starting with my half strength nuts. Any help is appreciated.

ok to the OP your running them on 24 hrs is a no no back them off to 18/6 as well keep lights 2.5 feet away for a couple days lowering them 6" every second day and they should rebound

SWC you potted them into to big of pots i would suggest buying superthrive and adding 1 ml per 1 litre of water to help from the major stressing thats goin on look i went from 1 " trays to 4" at this height i transplant them into bigger pots

Okay my question is...would they survive with what I'm doing now? The other 2 really stood up today, It's just that 1 that looks like a goner. I have them already on an 18 on 6 off. I just don't want to start over again :[

there stressed big time your kinda stuck where your at i would leave them and really get superthrive as well let soil dry up dont mist keep humidity high and pray
They will stop growing, but once out of shock could very well rebound back either way GL watch your ph dont go under 6.4 and over 6.8 depending on your light source water every 4 - 5 days no nutes other then supliments for stressin

So for the future I can put them in small pots about 4" and then transplant them to the 3 gal once they grow a few inches? And do you think 1 quart of water is too much?
