plants are drooping. please help

[seanwatkins91]

ay so i bought my clones yesterday and the store clerk told me to water them when i planted them. i did so and had a fan going on them over night. i woke up and the clones were completely drooping. is this because of the lighting at all? too close? too far? or is it from the watering. by the way my lights are 2-4 inches away. (100 watt equivalent cfl over each)
first time grow so advice is greatly appreciated

Sounds like youve probably overwatered it.
what temps/how long you had lights on off for?/did you use plain water or did you use nutes as well?/was it a rooted clone or a fresh cut?.

my lights are on an 18 hour cycle. my clones came in a little cube with the roots in it and i planted it with the cube. im not exactly too sure about to temp. its probably around 80 degrees in there. after i watered them they were under about 6 hours of light before the lights turned off for the night.

i used regular water but i let it sit out for a couple days to kill the chlorine.
should i get nutrients now? i heard you dont need them till the plant is bigger

You said u had a fan on them, were u blowing direct air at them? because you could have just stressed them. Happy Growing

its a really small fan and it was on rotate. it was pretty close. but today the one that was farthest away from the fan is back to normal. so it probably was the fan. thanks
