Help please! Rooted clone advice, transplanted to soil 3 days ago

Good day friends, I recently got 3 clones from a local delivery service
Had many roots although were a dull white with green moss looking on top of cubes
I let them dry out then transplanted to Ocean Forest potting soil
I removed the green stuff from top and some excess cube as I transplanted
1 of 3 is looking good, 2nd looks like it'll make it, 3rd doesn't look like it'll make it without some help

Any advice? Constructive Criticism? Much appreciated!

I packed in the dirt as I filled the pots, after transplanting I fed with Big Bloom, they are under a 4 bulb T5 light

The first thing I notice is very small leaves. Leaves are like solar panels for a plant. I have much more foliage on my cuttings. Second fresh clones need to be slowly introduced to nutes. It looks like you used to much to early. Unless you damaged the roots when transplanting? I'm not sure why you'd let them dry out? That's a good way to do damage. I'm not familiar with the soil but if it's organic it could also be to much for the young ins.

i never give my clones nutes for the first mouth most the time i just wait till they tell me they want food
Clones aren't like seedlings. As soon as roots are established I start introducing nutes. (Usually 12-14 days) But I start real low like 50 ppm but I'm using pure RO WATER. So there's ABSOLUTELY nothing in my water unless I add it.

i heard those are pricey or no maybe just a couple 100
I can't remember what I paid for it but the peace of mind it brings is well worth it. I've got a good one too with the least amount of waste water and I can fill a 32 gallon res. in just a few hours. There are smaller cheaper ones but I planned on forgetting to turn it on. So in that case a fast fill up would be needed. I use pro mix it's PH neutral and sterile and most importantly a blank slate. That means there's nothing in there that I don't add to it in the form of food. The same goes for my water. There's nothing in there and once again it's PH neutral.

Yes very small leaves, I think I trimmed too much off..

No dome, I put a clear cup acting as the "dome" over the questionable one on far right and not any noticeable improvement

I forgot to mention i'm using Distilled water with the Fox Farm Big Bloom nutrient

I let them dry out because what looked like green algae growing on top and the dull white of the roots versus the bright white of some other healthy clones, I believe they were getting root rot from too much water
