Inexperienced Grower Seeking help for Blue Dream Clones!

Hello there guys, I am new to this form and new to growing, I have these blue dream clones that I do not know is wrong with them! I've been reading the forum stickys and deficiency guides. These have been transplanted from rockwool with 1/2 in roots sticking out into a 1 gallon medium.
I water every 2 days using pH 6.5-7
Weather condition 68(night cold) to 74(average) F
Using T5 Lights (about 14 in over them)
Using fox farm big bloom and grow big for the seedlings and cuttings feeding schedule @ 1/4 strength to get them to adapt to the new soil medium.
They been transplanted 1 week ago, so I think/hope they have adapted to their new home =)

Im scared i dont want them to die, I want/wish for them to grow strong and healthy, are these salvageable?
any tips or diagnosis would be well appreciated!!!

The last one I have is the worst looking one I have, is there any hope for it? if so, what can i do to revive it? When i first transplanted that last one, all the leaves were droopy and crusty like that, and it showed some signs of hope!
please help, and its AOK to flame me for being a noob!

yep, don't want to give them any more nutes until the roots are more established. i would go ahead and remove all the completely dead parts, flush them out, and wait. some may die, some will live.

looks like a nute burn, best bet id say is give em a good flush.

thanks guys!!!
BTW, how long to flush for, like a weeks worth of watering?
Also when removing dead parts, is there a special way to do it? cuttin the stem completely off or leaves only?

It looks like the end ones dead, the first ones going to be fine, the others dont look like they have rooted properly. They look like theyre stressed the fek out and arent growing much. Clone off the first one when shes ready for it to cut losses. IMPO

Most of them will be fine I think just dont drown them, id never flush clones personally. I dont think they need that much water, maybe its just me??

If the tips are damaged and you think the leaf will make it id just cut the tips off with sissors, if the whole leaves toast pinch it off at the base. Tips grow out just fine from clones so i leave them on. I find they grow best when small amounts of water are applied to them infrequently or only when needed.

looking at his soil type, it might not be great for flushing. i use some very loose soil cut with lots of perlite, even up later stages.

and if i do have to "flush" before the roots are developed, it just means a little more runoff than normal.

Thank you very much!
Will note that, should i water less frequently? i am giving them about 150-175mL per 1L container every 2 days, Seems like too much??

The weight of the container should be your guide as when to water. When its light its time. It almost feels like its hollow when you pick it up, i planted those clones two weeks ago after one week under the dome and i believe ive watered them three times, once when i planted them with a healthy dose of straight water, five or six days later with a cup or less, and four days after that with a cup or less. They like to be dryer more than they like to be wet if you know what i mean :):):)

no need to water on a schedule like that, go by what the plant needs.

water them in nice and well at first transplant, and wait. the weight of the container and color of the soil will tell you when to water.

as the plant gets bigger, it will need water more often. and like ninjabowler also said, they do like to dry out a bit.

but when you do water, water 'em. i always say to water deep, not often.

Excellent advice, I really appreciate it!!!
Notes have been taken, i've learned a lot, I will update within a week! I hope all goes well!
Still weary of whether to include nutes or not, hmmmm
