Ive just put my clones into cocoa within the last hour and all the leaves are drooping down and lying on the soil they are in blocks and seemed perky beforehand, they are under a 600w hps, and now im worried tbh, should i just leave them?? cant work out how to post pics with this phone thank you!!

Normally, 75% of my clones droop during the first 12 hours of transplant. I've never used coco, but transplanting from a humidity dome into hydroton causes significant droop - which always perks back up within 3-12 hours. I've also never transplanted directly under a 600w hps. They go under a 250 mh that is 30" from the plants. Make sure your light is far away dude.

I would make sure they aren't to close to the light. set of to side if you have other plants for a couple of days. This is what I do but the first question is you did see roots on your clones? If so relax and give them time to adjust. Wanted to add I move from 2-3 cfls for cloning to my 600 mh and just set them to the side myself till they start growing again. Peace and good luck.

Put them in the shadiest area of the room for first few days in future. Give them a spray and put a dome over them for 1-2 days..

Keep a spray bottle handy whenever working with clones. I mist my clones 3-4 times a day when domed and another 2-3 times a day after hitting dirt. A spray bottle is a cloners best friend. BigSteve.

I think the ideal scenario is 3 days @ 100% humidity with a fresh air break here and there, minimize contact, agitation, temperature swings, and avoid perpetual moisture on the leaves. The hardening of the cuts is 3-7 days and the humidity is decreased slowly. I try to keep my rooting cubes as minimally moist as possible....no soaking. I usually use a pint of water per tray. They are fine under a desk lamp....no intense light. 10-14 days of that with 6 ph and you should be golden.
