If they are not rooted, they really dont need much water at the base anyway, because they have no roots to suck it up! Foliar absorbtion in a warm, humid environment is the key. If they ARE rooted already, disregard all I just said...

I got these as clones a week ago, they had roots, some more than others, enough roots to start coming out of a 2 inch by 2 inch pots. pretty small root systems, and yes I only watered when I planted them 4 days ago but I used alot of water at that time... the soil does not feel soaked though.

I keep temps down with an exhaust fan and filtering the intake air, pretty windy in my 4x4 since I use a 1050 cfm exhaust but plants dont move to much.

So if my plants were active at making roots right now the drooping is ok?

How long is average for new transplants to really take off in growth?

Last question, how close can I put these to my 1000 watt MH vented hood. They are 38 inches away right now that is ok? Can I go with like 28 or 18?
