Reave's Soilless: Peat, Bark, Sphagnum, Perlite, White Widow 2018

Update:
Seedlings are liking the cfls a lot better. (Top Left)

Clones are droopy from the transplant. They looked worse yesterday evening so they are coming around I imagine. (Bottom left and right)

The older plant is starting to perk up a lot and starting to grow again. (Top right)

How long should I wait before topping the clones? They came out of a bubble clones so I imagine it taking them a bit to get rooted into this medium nicely.

Yes, I would wait till they green up a bit more, indicating that the roots are working well.
 
I'd wait for explosive new growth before I'd consider topping clones. You don't want to shock them when they are still getting their support structure down below. The seedlings really seem happier now!

Feel free to post 4 pics instead of a 4-box so we can get a good look at them :).

Lol. I've been playing with the Photoshop app. I'll get some close ups. They are even looking better now.

Yes the clones look like they are getting over the shock too. I might have had that hlg 65 light a bit close. I raised It up this morning. It has no dimmer and the quantum boards throw some serious light. At 2 feet it covers that 1x3 space easy.

The cfls throw more heat too so now the tent is at 26C and humidity is up a lot higher around 70%. They seem to like that much better.
 
That sounds like perfect numbers for sprouts and clones! I keep clones under CFLs 24/7 until I feel like they are behaving like real plants. Then I acclimate them to the sun over a few days.

These clones were in a bubble cloner under a light for quite a while they had lots of roots about a foot long.
 
It can take a while for a plant to convert water roots to soil roots. Something I learned after I built my aero cloner.

Good to know. Those things clone awesome though. 8 out of 10 lived. The reservoir dropped a bit so 2 of the were not touching the water. Other than that can't complain about the process. It was easy.

Once I have a mother plant I am going to build one of the ones I saw in Emilya DIY cloner thread. Looks pretty easy and i already have the pump.
 
Water pump or air pump? If it's a water pump, check out the DIY aerocloner in my sig.
 
There are low smell plants you can find, or maybe you could plant one further away from the neighbor's yard. I just found out my neighbor didn't like the smell so I'm keeping my plants closer to the other side of the property.
 
They have a circadian rhythm just like we do :).
