COuld someone please help me find out whats wrong with these plants. 2 of the 4 have a red stem and their leaves are yellowing and curling and also dying is guess. Sorry if the pictures arnt that good but any help is greatly appreciated. Im using a 1000watt HPS light bulb. Using some random soil from lowes.
PLease tell me whats wrong with these plants.

Yeppers too close to the light would be my first wild guess too. I only have a 400 watter and it is a heat producing machine. I keep it as far away as it can be kept. Can only imagine how bad you could fry em up with a thousand. Now did notice one leaf which looked like it had some bug holes in it. If it is bugs/mites the 3 in 1 garden spray from Walmart should do the trick.
I would like to thank you for your responses. My light cycle is 18/6. They are 2 week old clones so im not giving them any nutes yet. They were just planted in that soil so maybe the nutrients in the soil are fcking with it but i believe one of them had started doing this before they were put in soil and were in just rockwool cubes. I dson't think theres any bugs. I didnt see any wholes in the leaves just the edges turning yellow and then it slowly shriveling up to just a strand is the only thing i can compare it to. If someone would like to talk with me on aim or something and give me some one on one tips i would greatly appreciate it. Also the lights are 32 inches away from the top of them.

Shottah, I'm pretty sure people have seen worse on this board.
With clones, I think there will always be an attrition rate from what I've read here on RIU. Some plants have what it takes to survive and some don't. Comes with growing
Also how well rooted were those clones before you transplanted them? I don't know if cutting down the fan leaves is a must with clones but most "how to clone" guides I've read indicate that cutting down the large fan leaves when the cuttings are taken helps the plant focus growth on the root system.
Good luck with your plants.
Tips for your photography:
Back up - the focus of the lense is beyond your desired subject. Or set your camera to macro (the flower) to get a focused close-up.
Composition - USE the [+] in the middle of your view finder., you want an equal percentage of subject in each of the 4 quadrants.
Lighting - 5 of out 11 pics are poorly lit. Idealy you want the light source to point in the same direction as the camera (towards the subject)

That's the thing... I dont think it would be wise to do it now because the cutting of the fan leaves is done right after the cutting is taken.
So were they properly rooted before you put them in the soil? Or did you just take the cutting and put it in? I'm not too familair with cloning for soil, but hydro growers have a cloning chamber and wait till the roots are established before transfering to the growing medium.
Like I said in my pervious post, some will not make it, and your plants dont look that bad.
