Watering issue / droopy plant

i got a clone that was about a month into the process. (1 month and 1 week old )

I let the plant dry for a day and then transplanted it into a 3 gallon pot.

I sprinkled the hole with my o Jordan and popped it in.

After transplanting I did a feed
I did 30% of the pot size (1 gallon)
In the feed I did
CAMg-1ml
Mills line nutrients ( I followed instructions )
About 4-5 ml
Vitalize- 1ml
And mammoth
While watering a couple second the water started coming out of the bottom so i waited a couple seconds in between adding more.

I have questions

Did I water correctly?
Did I use the correct amount of water and nutrients?

Should I have added more water to the bite mix and then got a gallon out of that to water the plants?

Also my plant was droopy after I transplanted and is still kind of droopy . Is this normal ? I know it needs a couple of days to recover.

When should I water again.
it’s been 2 fulls days since watering, I move a little bit of soil and it seems damp below the surface. Although the surface is dry.

temp is 85ish
Humidity is 45-50
Thank you in advance

Likely just shock, however the fact that the clones stem is solid purple does not represent it being healthy or in prime state to handle transplants and stress well. Should perk up, watch new growth make sure it's green not purple

5 weeks old? It's not growing right, you gotta take some measurements of EC PH and check if you give that appropriate light

Go a little lighter on the feed always, like ¾ of what your schedule says and see if the plant wants more. Water by weight not schedule. However keep in mind plant weight changes. I always found when watering by weight when I'm breaking up a whole top inch of soil to feel moisture I can feed.

I use the good old "finger an inch" method as well.

Sounds like you watered fine after the transplant. I usually let it dry until it separates from the pot, place it in the pre prepared hole and water to runoff immediately.

When it comes to transplanting though, there should be no stress anyway when done. It's literally just pulling a plant out of the pot and putting it in another hole. The stress might have just came from the generous watering.

In other words I've transplanted every plant I've had and never had any signs of transplant shock. In fact the opposite. Normally the perk up quickly after the up pot.

Tbh I'd take a step back with all the additives and just use a well rounded base at this stage at half or 3/4 strength.
