clones

So my clones are almost two weeks old....i had acouple of my auto flower clones that died just today and i lookes at the roots and they actually were sprouting tiny roots so would you think that i could plant the northern light clones

Now before everyone freaks out about why i'd be cloning a ruderalis....i tipped over a lamp im using for supplemental lighting and broke off two branches so i tried to root them so i could have like little lolipops (is that the right term) that finished at the same time as the rest of the plant. Just trying to salvage the little bit of bud those branches were gonna produce. They died when i sprayed them with a little calcium and magnesium diy mix (along with super super weak bloom nutes cuz i heared that clones dont need much nitrogen at first) ...i figured they were old enough to get a little nutreints but i guess they werent the rest of the clones look good....some of the lower leaves are staring to turn yellow right on time like theyre supposed to do when the clones start to take and use the leaves energy to make roots....SO MY MAIN QUESTION IS DO YOU THINK I CAN PLANT THEM YET? Or should i wait til i can see a bunch of roots coming out of the bottom of the peat pucks i have them in....id like to plant them as the humidity dome i havbe them in is starting to smell a little musty....it's worth mentioning that i took these clones from a flowering plant

Lose the dome. I plant them at the first sign of roots, even nubs. No root damage that way. In future, use clear cups set inside colored cups so you can see roots when they form. Good luck. -granger

Granger pretty much summed it up.
I do as well plant them when I see just one root, then its right into the veg room, no need for the dome anymore.

now if you took these clones from a flowering plant, its going to take quite a while for them to start to re-veg. Clones from flowering plants root substantially faster. however, it does take a while to see growth (normal growth that is) they will look/grow very strange at first and grow weird leaf sets, etc. not sure if you have ever re-vegged a flowering plant, but will grow the same way. give it some time and they will bounce back to normal.
then, i would suggest taking cuts from those.

do they look "new"? bright white?
so are these wispy little things poking out of your medium/rapid rooter/peat puck?
or did you remove the cut from the medium to verify these "roots"?

if they are protruding from the medium, plant them.
