I got these clones last Thursday and it's been 1 week.
put them in soil next day after getting them and watered them Friday late afternoon.
I thought they'd be fine couple days as I went out of town and my roommate was keeping an eye on them, he looked Saturday afternoon and early evening Sunday he said that 2 (indicas) looked droopy so I told him how much to water and he did all 4 just cuz I figured it would be time. Come back later Sunday evening the same 2 obviously still looked a lil droopy.
Monday morning they all looked good yay! Monday evening the 2 that were droopy are droopy again so I water.
Tuesday they're good and then droopy.
I've been doing this till now today Thursday a week later and the soil is soaked.
I will only need to water the other 2 (hybrids) tonight as they are looking a little droopy. they are not needing so much water
All came from Rockwool and put into soil.

Water is wrong with these indicas?
All 4 have same soil, all same lgiht.
2 hybrids are black jack doing fine.
2 indicas are Valley girl og and Xmas cookies. 2 different plants doing the same thing.
They look lighter color and droopy at night I water them and the day they look great color in the morning and then night droopy again please help.
It on the right in the first pic. First indica
The second pic is the second indica

Over water.
I don't see why they look good after getting watered. 1st I didn't water for 3 days, they drooped soil dry I watered, I know I didn't put that much water and they were droopy by night but other plants were fine all watered the same. Should I repot?

Let them dry. That droop is over water droop. Let them dry until they slump. The leaves will actually lay against the stalk and point to the ground.

What kind of root mass did they have when planted? If the root mass is small that may be why they look good after watering.

There were plenty roots coming out through all the wool just as close to the amount as the hybrids

What light are you using? I ask because i recently switched to led and happen to be using plastic containers instead of fabric and noticed my seedlings are showing some signs of overwatering because the containers are taking so long to dry out.

I'm using a 400 watt metal halide bulb.
