Rooted Clone - Are they going to live?

I recently bought a rooted clone. It was shipped and USPS did their job in delaying the shipment and then MLK day came and pushed it back more. Basically 6 days out and about before I got them.

I immediately got them into a couple cups with FFOF soil. It’s what I had available at the time. One started to wilt right away and I had to put in humidity dome (sandwich bag) and it poked back up for me.

I planted in cups on Tuesday. Today is Friday. I’m having some of the lower leaves die - or what I assume is happening anyway. I can’t tell if it’s just a natural process (I’ve never done clones before) or if I’m doing something wrong.

Im keeping humidity up pretty high in the grow tent. They aren’t wilting or anything, it’s just some of the leaves are checking out. I watered the day of transplant with 6.5ph water. I have drainage holes at bottom of cup. Lots of them.

I will include some pictures. Will they make it? Temps are in mid 70s in the tent. Humidity 70% average. It goes up higher and dips lower as my humidifier cuts on and off.

You should be good I would of put them in at least 1 gallon pots tho and try foliar feeding very lightly you should see new growth in no time

What’s best way to transplant to the 1 gallon in my current situation? The soil should stay intact wherever the roots have potentially grown?
Also I don’t have any foliar fert. But I do have a 20-20-20 dissolvable fertilizer that I used on my lawn. It’s got tons of micros, etc.. really good.. just kinda strong.

I probably wouldn’t use that lawn stuff I try to grow organically as possible but I would spray them with just water if you had nothing else and for the transplant you should be able to put your hand on top of the cup and just tap the cup while it’s upside down and it will fall out intact

You might have a week or 2 with no action but with those white roots I’m sure they’ll Live I’ve had clones like that with no roots

For what it is worth I would plant them a little deeper when the next repotting is going to happen. I grow outside and in soil so I start my sprouted seeds in peat pellets. When they get to the first true leaves I pot them into the pots they will live in until harvest. When they get potted into the last pots the first leaves are 1 inch above the soil.

Thanks everyone. I feel like the last 12-18 hours I’m seeing some potential change in the plants for the good. Hopefully they’ve turned the corner and I can get them into bigger pots soon. I’m slightly scared to shock them any right now until I know they’ve started an upward trend.

Quick reply to myself for another question. Is it ok to remove pretty damaged leaves on clones? Or is it best to just leave it be?
