That soil looks bone dry except in the center. When you transplant you need to saturate ALL the soil, then allow it to dry.

It is critical to water your plants generously after a transplant.

That is how you water soil. Water it, let it dry, water again. It is important to water this way because it helps the plant from becoming potbound or over watered. Test the soil by sticking your finger about 3 inches down. If you can feel moisture, the plant has adequate water. If you can't or you just feel a little, it's time to water. You want to saturate all the soil every time you water, then let it dry. Watering should not happen every 1 or 2 days. For example I water every 5 or 6 days or so.

It is prob in shock from the transplant. You should be giving them no nutrients if you are using fox farms potting soil. In fact, those young clones should just be in a soiless mix with a very small amount like 200 ppm nutrients given to them until they show some size at which point you could move them into another pot with more fertile soil. That fox farms is a very "hot" soil and has a rep for burning young plants if you don't cut it down with some soiless mix.

Things might get worse for you over the next few days. If you REALLY over fed your young plant by adding nutrients to your already enriched fox farms soil, you may kill the plant. But, I doubt it. It's a strong plant. It can bounce back from ALOT but it will take time to nurse it along to a stage where you can start giving it nutes.

The worst thing you could do right now is to feed the plant.

Water it generously with 6.8ph or 7ph water, and just give it time. Keep your room below 80 degrees and above 65 no colder than 60.......Just my opinion. Good luck.

I also like supernatural GREEN STAY. It's very good for misting and to use as an additive to plain water to aid in stress relief.

Chances are your plant is in shock because you did not water enough when you transplanted. You must water vigorously when you transplant young ones into another pot. It looks like you could use more pearlite in your soil too.

Just my opinion. Good luck.
