I received both of the clones and it looks like the grower had clipped off some of the leaf tips (probably hiding some deficiency/issue I guess). They were only $7 each so I figure as long as they grow I am happy, but was a little disappointed with the state they were in.
I picked them up and saturday and got them transplated into my home-made RDWC (credit to blazeoneup tutorial) system in my 4x4 tent - they went straight under the 4200K phillips CMH bulb in my Greenbeams reflector. There were some issues with the clones when I got them (not totally happy) and I have described more below. I have been giving them foliar mists a couple times a day with clean PH'd tap water with a few drops of GH Rapid Root starter.
I noticed the some of the small white spots that were on the leaves when I got them are still somewhat apparent (they were also a little droopy when I got them). I have not tried wiping the leaves because they are so small and fragile. The 818 plant appears to be less happy than the Alien, and I have tried to capture some of the spots in my pics (sorry I had just misted them before I took the pics). Is it possible the white spots are from my PH tap water spray?
Does anyone have any input on this? I am wondering if I should just leave them AS-IS and see how they are doing in a couple days - or if I need to start some kind of treatment (try to wipe them) now. I am hoping it is not mildew - and have good ventilation in my tent.

-Clean PH 6.0 tap water
-1/3 of recommend dose of micro, grow and rapid root nutrients (Currently about 300PPM (500PPM scale)).
-Tent air temp around 75-80 Deg F
