Thanks all you experts for your input.
-alleycat:yep, my plan is to leave it in the pellet this time when moving it into the hempy. Yes, as the pics show, the last clone DOES wilt alot after I move it from the chamber. I'm leaving the lid of the chamber slightly ajar as to sort of 'wean' the last clone off the high humidity. I'll leave it in the chamber for another 5-6 days.
-GardenTHIS & w47b: Yes, misting after transplant and watering with distilled water and veeery slight fert..like a tiny pinch of Maxigrow in a quart mister. No PH down...yet.
-discingolfer: Yes, they should 'rebound' after taking out the the chamber as I've discovered with other clones, but this NLxBB strain seems very touchy. I'm not using HPS for veg, just a 22w 5400 (blue) CFL until the get a foothold, then under a 4' shoplight ( 1 red, 1 white bulb). I love veggin that way..cheap and effective
Current update: Out of the 4 clones, 3 that I cut away the peat pellet and put into hempys, 1 completely died ( like shrivelled up to nothing); the remaining 2 are rebounding, but the edges of the larger fan leaves are actually 'crunchy', like completely dried out. Even after misting every hour for the last 8 hours. Seems like their dying for moisture.
Ok, I know you might ask "why do your hempy buckets look so weird?",
I posted about the formula here:

The Delta formula isn't the problem. I grew last year with this formula & got great results:
I think even though a couple of roots were poking out of the pellet on each clone, they needed more roots ( time ) in the chamber as alleycat suggests.
I've never read about this before, hence my panic.
