Wuzzup nag420. Im new at this too. I wanted to give u a lil advice that I've been reading on here thru the threads. U wanna raise ur temp by at least five dgrees bcuz some strains don't do good with that low of temp unless its during the dark phase. Fox farms might be a little to strong for ur clones that's y u see a lil burn in one of ur pics. Other than that, give them a couple days to get use to the soil and see how those burned edges do.

They look to be doing pretty well. Don't worry about the temps so much - my tent drops to 50 at night and runs at 60 in the day and I'm having great results, have run at 100+ and done ok as well - 74 is totally in the safe zone. As Pjloudpack said give them some time and you shouldn't have any more problems with the leaves. Remember to underfeed versus over feed and underwater versus overwater and you'll do just great. Send me a private message or post in my grow journal and I'll answer any questions you may have.
Welcome and good luck!

The soil has a bit of nutrients already in it so it should be fine as is for at least a week or two. If you wanted to start feeding in a week I'm sure you could but dilute the nutrients to 1/10 - 1/5 of the recommended dosage and slowly step it up each watering till you hit ~1/2 dose. If you want to play it safe use organic fertilizers - your yield will be lower than if you used chemical fertilizers perfectly but they are almost impossible to over feed with (I think the end product tastes better as well).
Hit me up if you need organic nute recommendations.

They are looking good. 76 degrees is pretty ideal and humidity is fine. Ideally humidity would be high to start (70+) and lower at finish (50ish) but anywhere between 40-75 is fine.
Mixing spectrum is ideal. Generally a 3:1 of 6500K to 2700k for veg and the opposite for flower. I've used 5500k and they are decent for veg but not as idea as a 6500K - should still work all the same.

Plants are looking good. Get the HPS quite a bit closer. You want it around 6" from your plants or as close as you can get it without the heat at canopy level being to much (put the back of your hand under your light for 5 minutes and if it gets really hot that is too close). HPS is not the ideal spectrum for vegging but it does help quite a bit.

Keeping the fan running should help.
