Inherited Aero - need hlp

Hey and thanks for a sweet site. Yeah I am very noobie but i have read about as much as I can absorb for the moment. I will get some pics posted asap, but let me tell you what my inherited setup is like now, and maybe someone can help me until then.
OK this AG has 6 cups going - 3 have 1 each and the other has 2 each. The doubled ones have very healthy stems, one is about the diameter of my little finger. One of the singles is very scrawny - maybe cause its the furtest to the edge and the other plants seem to block the light somewhat.
OK one of the singles HAD a very nice stem and leaves, but it just seemed to have went to hell. Leaves are yellowing and droopy, stems seem to have lots of purplish lines running up it. Confused as to why just one would exhibit such different behavior. (Maybe its stoned....)
So far, I am runing with the stock lights, all the plants (but that scrawny one) are well up to the lights already. Do i need to remove the lighht from the base and hang it higher, or can they spread out without growing up? I mean, if i move it on up, then how much moire up should I go?
I am considering turning a closet into the grow-room if need be. I keep the room now about 70 deg during the day and 60 - 65 at night.
I was told (keep in my i know diddly about growing - just what i read last 2 days) that it was time to flower this, so i turn the light on at 8 am and turn it off at 7. I read to keep it absolutely dark when its off, and i do.
I have not checked my Ph yet - someone sposed to be bringing me kit today - I added some Bloom food Deep feeding 10-52-10 - about 2 tsp - one time about 3 days ago. Saw no change in any plants - good or bad.
Suggestions are all preesheeyated - do i need to make some thingydoo with tin foil to reflect light? Get additionasl lights? Diff nutrients? I will check Ph for sure - and yes i know pics tell a better story, but i have no means to take them right now. I will search through the site for similar pics in the meantime if that helps..??
Well, sry fer being ignorant - looking for wise, clever people here....
Thanks in advance

10-52-10 is pretty strong if your just vegging...
find a nute with like 20-20-20
but then again i havent grown with aerogardens so i wouldnt know if it would work..im geussing that it wouldnt cuz thats pretty high in phospherous, in vegging you want more nitrogen, so aim for 20-20-20
or like 20-10-10?

ok i cbanged the water and added some 10 - 10 - 10 - not a lot - anyone tell me what ratio os good? Any suggestions why this one plant took a nose dive? It was my second biggest. Any other questions I had in the first post are still out there - thx for any and all advice....

Umm if its the aerogardne like on tv you should sell it on ebay and make your own aero or dwc setup and use the extra money to get a hps light and some nutes as the aerogarden and its whole stup are no good for growing weed. The cost and time make it more economicall to just go out and buy a quarter sack and not wast 4 months time

well i was asking for positive advice, not your negativity.
Oddly enough, there are TONS of posts and links and pictures showing success with this setup, assuming some modifications, which was kinda the advice i was looking for.
I will try my best to sleep in light of your comments. Incidentally, MY cost was zero dollars for the AG (if you happen to READ), and I have plenty of time on my hands so what's it to YOU if i spend 4 months waiting on some free killer weed?

you asked for advise and I gave you the best advice. And as far as cost you get free lights as you will need alot more then what comes with this unit? Did you get free nutes as the ones that are for the aerogarden are wrong? ZThe light hood has to be removed and rebuilt was that free??Im just asking as I did read as you said and you didnt add any of those costs as free... Can you show me these tons of succesfull grows you talk of? I saw 1 in the time I have been a member here. Most people try to grow 3 plants in there and find in a week its way to small but 1 or 2 who are good with FIM or super cropping clones were able to get little under an oz in 3-4 months...wiait did you get free seeds and clones to?? all of this is exspenses.Know before you try to blast.If you wanted ways to use this system ya should have asked I offered you good sound advice to give you the best yield for your time and keeping a similar small unit and you got mad hmm go figure.. thats some noobs for ya ask and dont hear what they want and gte pissy good luck can wait to see those great grows your gonna show me with the AG

what an asshole - i SAID the AG cost me nothing - did i say the nutes were free? Never mind i already HAD a shelf - full of em for other gardening. And btw - yes the plants were FREE cause ( like i said in the first post) THEY WERE ALREADY IN IT and growing. duuuurrrr. See dude, wasnt that i got mad - the point IS someone GAVE me this entire setup and i am looking for suggestions to improve on it if need be, even if i need to raise the lights or (GASP!) buy some more lights, etc.....
OK so if ANYONE else can give me some suggestions to make these do a little better i would appreciate it. Oh got my Ph level correct, just the one plant is doing poorly - purple bout half way up the stems.

OK i suppose i am ready started flowering, and after what i have read in the main aero forum it should have started WAY sooner and the plants been WAY shorter. Not much i could have done about either of those. Most plants are right at 11 inches, one is getting bushy and the other that WAS getting bushy is dying like hell. When i got it this one was shooting some purple striped up, then most pf the plant went pale green. Now its gone from almost total purple about mid stem to damn near brown. Yeah just the one - any ideas before this one just dies?
Oh - should i try to get some of these to spread more before flowering or just do it? yeah pics would help - will do asap.

You will want to find a good light once you start flowering. My first grow was in a AG and the lights are fine for veg but they will not be sufficent for good bud during flowering. You prob want to look into a hps or t5 CFLs. Make sure also that you are using hyrdo specific nutes.

on my first grow i started with four plants but within 4 weeks it was time for some of them to go, because you will run out of room. Three were males so they got yanked, but you could realisticly grow two in there without too much trouble. the other big problem is a small res. once they reach about 18 inches your going to find the water levels have to be topped off constantly.
Its fine to start off with the AG to learn about hydro growing but if you are serious about it you will find you need to upgrade to a different system.
