First time grow starts tomorrow!
It's not a good idea to plant clones directly into soil until whatever medium they were coned in (rockwool, Jiffy pellets, Rapid Rooters, etc.) is showing at least some roots protruding out. I've never bought from a dispensary, but I'd imagine a good one would keep their clones in humidity domes until they're at least showing some kind of signs of root growth. Those obviously weren't. As for the clone that looks scorched, I'd say it did start growing roots but couldn't handle the nutrients in the soil, fertilizers you've used, etc. Those new roots are tender and really don't need much extra in the way of fertilizer until they've established a healthy root system.
After my clones root, I put them in 12oz cups with just a light potting soil and perlite. After they get rootbound, then I transfer into larger pots with all the ammendments, feeding schedules, etc. That's just me, but I rarely have a problem with overfertilizing. Sorry about the grow, but take this as a learning experience. You've got the setup to grow a nice crop, but you want to make sure that you don't end up loving your plants to death. It's easy to do... just about everyone who's ever grown a successful crop has done it at least once.
Better luck next time. :jointsmile:
