and then on these pictures right here theres these dots on the leaves...what is that?

I'm not sure, but it could be over watering.
It could also be PH issues, I had a plant whos leaves curled into a circle because of PH, but yours are more saggy.

But more info is needed. How often do you water them? Nutes? PH? Lights?

They look good, tell us about them, how old, etc ?
My clones always look crappy around week 2, leaves dying and such, but if you can tell if the stem is healthy and see new growth, they will come out fine.

well there about 1week and a few days old. i had water them everyday, that little box looking thing holds the water in pretty good, but i spray some water on the clones 3 times ah day.
im not using any nutes right now. i wouldnt know to much about the ph, i was told dont worry about that right now since there so young.. and im using a 150w HPS light..(only light i got)

Stop misting the plants so much. If the cubes are wet and u always mist them, u'll drowned them out. Put the light close. It already looks like there hardened off so dont be scared off the light. Do u test ur ph at all?

You are supposed to keep rockwool wet, it works very well for cloning when saturated.
I suggest you use nutrient solution instead of water now and then wait 2-3 days.
The light might fry them, and only change one variable at a time.
Always check the pH of your nute solution or water.
Mist only with water, btw. Foliar feeding is tricky.

I used some MG all purpose dry soluable nutes that a buddy gave me cause i ran out of my usual stuff (gh) and started having some nasty mag and cal deficiancies. I read the box and found out that M-grow doesnt have MG or CAL in it anymore, I think its cause the people that buy MG for general gardening mix it with straight tap water wich usually has a decent amount of mag and cal in it? Could be a regional thing, make sure you read the box before hand if you do decide to use it for whatever reason!

If you dont know how to pH head to your local hydro store and theyll sell a pH adjustment kit for under $15 with explanation. You can and should keep your light as close as you can without burning them, how can you tell? A) buy a $2 thermometer and place it under the light at plant height lvl, in veg I let them get as warm as 85 f. If your hps is air cooled youll be able to go closer.
