Clone issues

About a week ago I picked up a Strawberry Cough Clone from Harborside SJ.
It had a single brown tip on one of the leaves, but was well rooted in the rockwool cube so I decided it was ok.
I replanted the cube in a small pot with a mostly peat soil mix and put it into my little indoor cfl incubator.
I have watered it twice since then with no nutes
the light cycle is 17/7. Why? Because it is gonna go outside soon, and 17/7 is closer to the real light cycle than 18/6

My question is, why are the leaves yellowing/ dying - its mainly the one big lower one, but it seems to be progressing
it began drooping a day or two after purchase (as evident in the first picture) so i have propped it up with a stick

I'd love any opinions/ideas/advice

Forget it its nothing for the leaves that were the cutting to die off. If the upper leaves yellow that's a another matter.

I do not see any problem in your colones except they need some nutes
the yellow drooping leaves you see its from the shock when you switched to new nursery pots and that's normal in most clones
give them some time they will recover

That's pretty normal it happens to a lot of my clones after they root and get transplanted some of the lower leaves will yellow and die

alright, thanks guys
At what point should I start feeding it? I was waiting til the roots branched out of the RW cube into the soil.

Now, feed half strength this time and bump it up as they get older, let that pot dry out some to promote root growth in between waterings. Those yellow leaves pretty normal just some shock and also could have came from momma. Id cut them off and clean things up and go from there.

So I pulled the RW cube out of the soil and soaked it in a 250 ppm solution of kelp extract and organic fert in RO/DI water. Then I repotted it in damp coco/soil mix.
Sound alright?

I feed my clones full strength clonex seedling and clone nutes as soon as I transplant into soil for about a week or two depending on root development and then I switch to my normal nutes. The clonex is a really light nute it's only 1-0-1 and it seems to keep them from yellowing too bad while they get rooted good.
