I bought a clone and it looked alright. I put it under my 600W HPS and its been looking pretty rough. I just transferred into a 5gal pot to see if that will help. what do you guys think?

Here is the clone on the left when I got it.

Here it is after transplanting.

They looked pretty root bound. They should take off in the 5 gallon. Just be sure not to water the entire pot when you water, only a few inches around new transplant! Let the soil dry out in between watering pretty good.

Thanks, I will definitely do that in the future. Both are showing signs maturity, so I am guessing they have been clones for a while.

What he said. Also sometimes they droop from light source switch. I imagine these were under t5s.

I usually acclimate them first.

Careful with the water. Don't overdo it

They were under T5's, so it was probably a big jump to the 600w hps.

I watered until it came out the bottom. I wont water again until it feels dry when I stick a finger in the soil. I am a bit worried about colder temperatures at the bottom of the 5gal pots. Seems to be quite cooler there. Especially since the air intake is blowing right at them (its right next to the pots).

Did you "harden" them or just go straight under the 600w @ 18/6? What is the temp in the tent?

I think it was a shock to the plants because I didn't harden them. When I first put them in my grow tent, it got up to about 93f before I had all of the kinks sorted out with figuring out the optimal set up for my intake/extraction.

Right now temps will range from 73f-86f with hps on and it with lights of its around 50f-65f. I am now using a temperature controlled heating pad I put under the plants to help keep the roots warm. I put the temperature sensor in the bottom of the soil so it will shut off when it reaches 70f.

I'm not sure how old the clones were but I have had them for a week. I have a grow journal as well, just added a white tahoe cookies clone in there to fill up the rest of the room. My tent is going to be completely packed when they start to flower.
 
Looks like classic transplant shock.. give it a table spoon of epsom salts per gal of water or you could do a table spoon of liquid seaweed extract per gal.
