Hard to tell from the photo quality... but it sure doesn't look good. Did they have roots?
Usually folks wait to nute untill the plants get a bit bigger and have established root systems.
They look really bad, but might perk up if you can identify and address the issue quickly. I'd sure start with a misting on the leaves and see if that makes a small difference. If misting makes it perk up a bit, then you might be able to keep them alive while you address whatever other problem exists.
Better photos and a complete exact history would help us help you.
Cheers

Afka...Yo bud, here's my take...Your clone(s) can wilt for a lot of different reasons. Judging by what youre saying and the size of your clones in your pics, I'd say you needed to let them develop more of a root system before going to the bigger pot. Another thing to avoid is putting such a small seedling in such are large pot so soon. Success is tougher to come by trying to manage a beginning nutrient and watering program in terms of seeing results/ making adjustments with such are large area of soil. It's like using the whole soccer field for a simple game of marbles. Try using a 4 to 6 inch pot for your first transplant and then go larger as time goes by. Also, stay with flouros until the clone(s) reach 6 to 8 inches. 'Hardening off" from flouros to the more powerful 400-1000 halides etc is also a good idea. Too high intensity of lighting too soon can bring potential crop doomage. As I said, make sure your clone/seedling has a semi-well developed root bunch before attempting a transplant...good luck

"It's like using the whole soccer field for a simple game of marbles."
LoL. That was a great analogy.
