Hi I received cutting in 1x1 pots

And transplanted them into 15l pots straight away they were fine for he first few days
Now they are droopy have I overpotted them and possibly to much water

This is a classic mistake that most noobs make. Taking a seedling and putting it in too big of a pot and then over watering can kill them.

This is why many people up pot slowly...letting the roots get established each time before transplanting again.

I start with a 2 oz portion cup..then move to a solo cup. Once the plant has just about outgrown the solo cup its moved to a 5 gallon ... then to 400 gallons.

Get yourself a soil tester to read the moisture (they are cheap) it will save you a lot of mistakes.

Thankyou
 
Will these rusty like spots be a deficancy of some sort because of overpotting due to overwatering ?
