Aero Grow With White Widow

Ok so sorry I posted a little late. But I have been dealing with some camera problems.
Here is what I have. I recently received a few clones from a buddy who had a few white windows girls and I thought sense it has been about a year from my last grow then is there not a better way to get back into growing then with some widdows.

After taking the clones and picking the best 2 i had to l had to leave town for 2 months. So i was unable to finish the other clone.
They are in 2 5gal buckets. Under a 4 bulb t5s. (8 bulb soon). Set up as a bubbleponics.
I cloned 13 new girls in a cloning done using rockwool. Only 9 of them made it. Guess I'm a little rusty.
Once they rooted I put them strait into the aero. 12 sites. Home made about a year ago. 350 gph pump. I ordered a cycle timer about a week ago but it has yet to arrive.
(they are about 2 weeks old)
I have them under a 400 watt hps and a 400 watt m/h. I will be upgrading soon.
I have changed the light cycle to 12/12 yesterday and gave the girls a fresh res.
Currently using the fluragro series. I tried the foxfarm before. Just like this better.
I am going try and continue to upgrade my system as I go alone. Wasn't really prepared for the clones when I received them.


Threw in one picture from 2 weeks ago.

Your area looks great & clean too! Good color, Points up! Thats all one really has to say!
Tell that to other folks and they have no clue what I'm talking about!
Your area is tight how many times do you top? You must trim a lot too.
I do the the original leaves.

Thank you very much. It is still a work in progress. Very soon I'll be putting up a fake wall with a bookcase door. I'm thinking of posting the whole thing.

Ammonia? Sorry thought I was talking to a noob! LOL. If you can find it now you might be able to cut it out, but you will still have the problem.
How's your humidity? What a min look who I talking to. Your hydro.
Do you have a DE-humidifier? Is the filter ok? Water on floor? wet towel/rags?
You might try these things called DampRid. I have used them on my Cruiser(boat) for years
also in my gun safe and my grow room in the summer.
How DampRid’s Moisture Absorbing Crystals Work
The DampRid® crystals are calcium chloride, a type of salt that, like similar salts, attracts moisture. We use the word moisture because it is the most universal term, but the most accurate words for what the product absorbs are humidity or water vapor. The “loose” water molecules of the vapor are more easily absorbed by the calcium chloride crystals than liquid or solid water are. By absorbing water vapor from the air DampRid begins to dry the air, thus promoting the evaporation of liquid water, which, given time, can allow this to be absorbed as well. DampRid works best in high humidity areas. Without the humidity to absorb DampRid will not function, or not function as quickly.

She doesn't look good.
The thing that scares me when I see leaves like that is. What have I done to the Roots this time?

Ran into a little problem last night. I walk by the room and heard one of the pumps making a strange sound. I knew it wasnt a lak of water being that i just filled thres about an hour before. Walk in and noticed that i was standing in about 15 gals of water. Apparently the hose come off the areo system and pumped all but a gal out of the res onto the floor. Thank god i walked by when i did. Would have killed the girls and bured up my pump. A lot of water to clean up.
