Newbie with clones and questions

Here are 14 clones cut from my first outdoor grow. Under 4-6 CFL's (23w-3500K)they seem to have rooted and some of the leaves are yellowing, which I understand is normal while they extract energy to root. My question is, what should my temp and humidity be at?
They are only two weeks in and I just took of the humidity domes. Should I put them back on till they grow abit. Also when should I change the bulbs to 6500K for the full veg state, and how long do they veg for before I should switch to flowering cycle? Thanks

as far as i know, and i hope im not mistaking you- temp should be normal growing temp- 75 to 85, moister should be high- 85% at least (if you cant get that high spray them more often- 3 to 4 times a day). if they have roots- its time to veg! put them there for at least 3 weeks if you want good vegging or when they reach 12" tall. the more you veg the stronger the are at flowering (but not too much... =) hope i helped. if you want more information cruse the site, you have almost everything covered in earlier threads in different forums.

light it up!

I know within about 12 hours of having my "humidity dome"(drinking glass) taken off, my 2-day old clone drooped to the ground. I put the dome back on and a few hours later it perked right up. So you could try putting the dome back on if they do that. Otherwise, the yellowing is nitrogen def. as you said. I would wait for a veteran to give you suggestions on fertilizing, I'm in the middle of diagnosing my plants right now.

Temp should be mid-70's, humidity should be gradually lowered if they're two weeks old. Having a fan directly on them isn't a good idea yet, IMO. And you can veg them as long as you like, just depends how big you want them and it's strain dependent.

I went to You Tube, found a guy named Primo, he has videos. I followed his cloning technique, it was my first time and I think they all but one rooted
