this is in my pc grow , i just got a digital temp guage and i noticed the temp was 65 degrees last night at around 4am 4 hours after lights had gone out at midnite . is this too low for my seedlings ? will it be too low for clones ?( my pc box will turn into a clone box for my other setup after this plant grows )
81 degrees lights on but 65 degrees lights out . is this bad ?

No, for clones you might want to keep it to 75 at the lowest though. It's fine for seedlings...

maybe if the clones hasnt rooted yet, but once it roots it is mature, a seedling however is young and would do better with a warmer temp and higher humidity. Just leave your lights on 24/7 if you dont like it getting that cold.

Yes this is bad. I had this problem and what i did is just switch the lights on at night and off during the day. My apt is a lot warmer during the day and at night the lights keep the room warm!

Get a heat pad for your clones. Other than that, no, it's fine. Not the best, but it will work.

That's almost ideal I would say for non-clones. If you think about it, if the max is 81 and low is 65, the average temperature is probably somewhere in between so your plants are not spending a lot of time at those temps. I have read that a 10-15 degree differences in on and off temps is something to shoot for.
