The Clones will not need much light until they get established.

Make sure not to have the light to close.

You also need good intake and exhaust ventilation.

how far away would you say?

wat you mean by intake and exhause ventilation?
should i leave the box open to air or put a few holes in the top for air and water to get out....

a few holes is all that's needed at this point. the light can be a few inches away. keep them warm.

That should be fine for clones. Move the light closer after they root.

I leave my clones under 24 hours of light.

Well there's really no need as the plants have no roots. It will serve as a way to raise the humidity but with the plastic dome you really shouldnt need the water.

I dont have as much rep as these dudes, but Im going to comment anyway. I cant tell if you have a cover, but thats important at this stage.
Cover them and they will perk right up after a few hours.
Ive never overwatered new clones, but I would only flood them with about a 1/2 inch or so of water.
Keep updating for better feedback. They dont look bad though.

why do you cut holes in the top? I thought the objective was to raise humidity not lower it? I find it easier just to lift the lid a couple of times day.

I didnt do that, but in there first few days I checked on them venting a couple times a day.
Keep them very humid for the first few days, and after a few days vent even more. Progressively vent more as days go by.
You will know if your keeping them humid enough because they will wilt over.

Ive never let them dry out too much, so your probably right. I just know from exp. that if you think their ready to be uncovered, you better be sure. I thought the dome was ready to come off. They were perky and had roots coming out the bottom, so I took it off. 30 min. later they looked like they wanted to die.

Never tried that, sounds risky to me. If it worked for you though sounds good.
For the sake of this grow and the equipment he has, I have to recommend keeping it covered and humid.
Thats what I meant when I said they wilted over. Not humid enough.
