NEED help with dying plants

Just started learning how to do this about 3 weeks ago. Got 3 clones for myself to start in veg three weeks ago:

1 Hawaii sweet tooth,
1 Lemon Kush,
1 Sour Grap.

Both Hawaii and Sour have gone to shit. I cut dying leaves and did cut the tops off about 2 days ago and transplanted from small cups to new 2 gallon pots with: Half Fox farms Potting Soil/ Half Fox Farm Agro Ponic Grow Medium soil.

Since then, they have been struggling to stay alive. They have been running 12 hours under one 65watt CFL 6500K and 42watt CFL 2700K that are about 5-8 inches above plants with a fan under the lights and moved into my bloom room where i got 6 females in bloom under a 250w HPS and it is about 25"-30" above.
Im thinking about getting a new 85watt 6500k or 125w 6500K CFL for veg, just need to come up with some funds.
Anyone know where to go from here, should I give these 2 guys up and start over fresh or keep investing time into them? Appreciate it.

Hmm.. How often do you water it? Do you give it any nutes? If so, how much at a time and how often?

Looks like a bad bad case of nute burn..

This is not always the case. I have a strict foliar feeding schedule and
if done properly can really boost the non mobile nutrient uptake. Ya
just gotta turn your HIDS off for about an hour so the leaves can dry
without being to heated. If the leaf surface temp is above 70 degrees,
all sprays, even simple water is phytotoxic. I use fluorescents for this.

Have not feed them any nutes yet, just the transplant 3 days ago. I did spay a solution of 2 teaspoons of baking soda mix with 8 oz of water on them to kill of a mold problem early on. My boy who i got the clones from had a mold problem that came along for the ride. Do you think that did it?

you say there clones yet theres full leaves top an bottom an non are cut back so im wonderin were these rooted clones when you got them as 3 weeks on unrooted straight into dirt would make them look like that otherwise if there well rooted id say its nute burn nothin els would kill them off that quick in that kinda way planted in soil
id try flushin 5 gallons through each pot in a sinc an then leave them under a light without touchin at all for 4 or 5 days

Is it a lack of nutes? I was using distalled water and now transferred over to the water machine that uses reverse osmosis.

Baking soda is NaHCO3 and will cause your soil to become alkaline. You must check your pH and let me know.

Your problem is your soil is too hot for the plant. They can always
come back, but there is a much you must do. Mainly, leach the medium.

He's not putting it in the soil, he is spraying to create an inhospitable environment to fungus.

This is very common with great results.

I've sprayed with pH as high as 9.0 with no problem.

Yeah, the leaves that were snipped already died off too. I got the medical bible and i keep readying about nute burn, but i haven't used nutes yet. They just get there daily water and thats it. I checked all the pH soil levels and they are around low 6's probably 6.4-6.3

Foxfarms has a lot of soluble shit in there, it is nute burn, very common with Foxfarms ocean forest.

just answered your own question
there is no way plants that small need watered daily

most common mistake with new growers is OVERWATERING
