hey guys so i finally got my set up goin and picked up a clone of blueberry dutch passion. its about 5.5 inches tall right now and under a 150w hps. After putting it in my set up within about 2 hours of being in there the leaves seemed to have drooped drastically. i misted it once befroe putting it in and under the lights. any help would be appreciated.

too much water, not enough water, or too much heat are probably the issues if the clone was rooted.

Was the clone fully rooted? If not you might have to dome it.

ghetto cooling - freeze water in a bunch of two liter bottles and rotate them into the grow area in front of a fan - never tried it but its recommended here alot

That's a great idea!

Sage1, what kind of ventilation do you have?

Yeah, heat is probably the most underrated trouble in the forums.

The ice bottle trick does work, but is a hassle to maintain.

the frozen water will cause humidty to rise, but thats only a problem in flowering, so your good to go = )
