I would mist them a few times a day untill thier roots settle in and start growing. unless you overwatered and gave the root rot and if thats the case theyre doomed.

They shouldn't be wilting dude after all you did wait for the clones to get a decent size root system going before you put them into the soil? RIGHT? it takes my clones 4 days to show root's,,,, but I leave them in the humidity dome until 10 or 11 days so root system is big enough that it can hold water without having to spray them anymore!,sounds to me you over watered the soil were your clones are to now,or when you put them in soil you had only a small root system developed therefore they wilt do to the lack of water coming through the roots!,,,,don't add water to soil anymore for awhile and foilage feed through the leaves with spray bottle,this point is critical for you,I have alot of experience with clones,good and bad learned alot from hands on experience in the clone department,you'll have to tend to those babys alot now just to keep them alive,after all three weeks from cutting and still wilting? perhaps if you think you over watered the soil,try pulling the clones out of their pots carefully and put into just dry soil! in hopes of sucking some of the water into the soul from the wet soil surrounding you root system,note: don't clean of the roots,leave them in some of the wet soil in your pot.....keep spraying for a few days or if possible put back in humidity dome if ya got one...

most of the time clones drying up is from the internal temperature of the leaves getting to hot and drying out.

Anti-wilt spray fixes that.
