First time Growing - Clone Problems

Here's the story: I got this clone about 5 days ago. The first day I brought it home I was unaware that I had to keep it in high humidity and it came within a few hours of completely shriveling up before I looked it up and saved it. When the roots were coming out of the bottom of the small container I had it in, I transplanted it. Now today I wake up to find it looking like this-

bump.

Someone help me! this is my only clone and I don't want her to die! It definitely looks like its getting worse over time. Whats wrong with her and what can I do help?!

If it helps right now she's running under ~ 100w of CFL for 18/6, Foxfarm soil, and nothing but plain bottled water.

With such a large fan leaf you don't need humidity anymore. Simply keep the plant in a warm space about 75F, a little air circulation and put the plant inches from the lights. Also, the stem looks like it needs support. Get a small stick and support it. Have you checked for bugs ? That white speckling on the fan leaf could be indicative of spider mites. Check using a loupe on the underside of the leaf.

I'm not sure if the clone is from an older plant because I got it from a friend. I can't really remember if it had the yellow spots when I first got it, but the definitely think they are getting worse. However the new leaves are beautiful and green and seem to have no spots.

What do you think could have possibly caused the spots?

Thanks guys-

Whatever's causing the spots, they don't look too serious. Overall, things look pretty good, nice fluorescent green color on the new growth. Just be careful not to overwater, that pot is pretty big. Don't worry about the age of the mother plant, has nothing to do with it.
