Sick trainwreck clone?

Hey RIU. First time grower here. I got 2 clones on Saturday and moved them into FF Happy Frog soil on Sunday. I watered them after transplanting and again this morning. My Northern Lights looks strong. But my Trainwreck looks a little saggy. I am worried it is shock from the new soil maybe? I have not tested the soil at all yet. I really appreciate any help.

not looking too bad yet.

what soil did it come from?
how well established was the clone before transplanting? (did it have a good root mass)

get a spray bottle and just keep the leaves wet and the topsoil. its most likely just stress induced relapse from the transplant plus it is still young so everything affects it more.

test PH and ppm of water going in and PH and ppm of run-off and try to stabilize the PH around 7 and make sure the ppm is on the low side around 300-600ppm.

It was just in the Gro-cube when I bought it. The roots were coming out of the cube. They looked good. I sprayed the leaves and topsoil. Thanks for the feedback.

If that doesn't help try letting it dry out a little after that...it looks like it might be a little overwatered...bottom water the next time it is dry and see how it goes...

it looks like it doesn't have enough roots to create enough torgur pressure to keep the leaves up. give it a bit of rooting stimulants and it should heal in a week or so.

Second this. Since it came from a grow cube, it just needs some adjusting time. give it 4 days or so and just keep spraying it lightly a few times a day. only get the first inch of soil wet. let it dry out in between, but if it gets too dry it can also wilt (key difference to notice is whether there is wilting + shriveling or wilting but looking healthy) Also like he said you can give it a weak solution of rooting nutes like root 66.

If the plant isnt looking better in 4-5 days make sure ph/ppm is ok. another method would be to cut off some of the leaves (not the stems, just some leaves on the lower fan leaves) - this will add a small amount of stress but if the plant is unbalanced (too few roots for too much plant) you can get a wilting like this. reducing the amount of leaves it needs to keep healthy will give it an easier time initially. also, since the lower fan leaves become obsolete and fall off anyways after a while, its not really much of a loss.
