Why are they all going yellow?

Theyre newish clones, about 10 days old. For lights I have 2 four-foot mercury vapors that are about a foot and a half away from them. Soil + perlite. Oscillating fan and air purifier.

I assumed the yellowing was caused from me watering too often, so I stopped that and the past day and some I've been letting it dry. But they're still getting more yellow, and the droopy plant in picture 3 is starting to get yellow on its big leaves.
Why are they yellowing? How do I get it to stop?
And any ideas why the last ones limp? The other plant isn't

Yea, hi, your soil looks pretty wet. How newish are your clones? Did they have roots yet? They sort of look as though they are dying from poor roots or rotting roots. Sorry. Just my opinion.
I hope they pull through though of course.
Also, I don't think you need an air purifier.

Well the pics are a day and some old.. too tired to get new ones. But plants haven't changed much since other than more yellow. The clones are around 10 days old. I assume they have roots since theyre not all dead and it's been 10 days.
What would cause poor roots?
And yeah, I probably don't need it. It's just incase

My thinking was that if the clones didn't have roots when you put them in the cups, then they'd be feeding on themselves trying to root.
If they had good roots, my thinking was that the soil was too wet or not draining well enough to where the roots would be rotting in the soil.

The plant in the background of the 3rd pic looked like it wasn't really rooted yet.

I'm glad to hear though that the plants are not much worse after a day or so. This could mean that they'll make a come back, but without seeing them, it is more hopeful thinking.

Hope they come back for ya.
:peace:

Oh, yes, i put horomone on them and just stuck in the cup. I assumed at first it was just them feeding. But it doesn't seemto be stopping. :/ So many possibilities... nitrogen defiency? maybe I overwatered at first and so there was oxygen lock out..blah. Gonna let them be dry overnight and see how they do
The plant in background died unfortunately.
Indeed, I'm hoping since it's slowed down that they're making a come back. Thankz
