Im assuming you are using a hood over the clones. If you think they need water, dont water the cubes directly, pour water into the bottom of the tray and let it soak up into the cubes. NOt too much, just a little. Also, spray the inside of the hood with a spray bottle to mist it, this will increase humidity in the dome/tray. They look nice and healthy, hope these ideas help you out a little...

get those babies in soil you got roots the air will make them dry and fall off or make sure you keep the roots covered in water

get a pot, 2-5 gallons depending on how big your garden is (grow area, lights, etc), and fill with dirt of your choosing. put your hands together and stick them in the dirt then spread them apart, making a little hole in the center of the dirt. or cup your hand and dig out a hole. Then drop the cube in, about 1 inch, give or take, below the top of the soil, then bury it in there and press the dirt in around it, and give it a good watering, then leave it. Hopefully, your plants will make the transition. It helps, if you are using a hood, to leave the hood off the tray for an hour or so each day for a couple days before you transplant, to let the sprouts 'harden up'. You can probably find all this info if you just google 'transplanting clones/sprouts'...
