What do you mean,why would your roots receive enough light to damage them???On purpose,or your container is not light proof??

the latter, i bought an aeroponic system online and it came with a clear tub, i didn't realize(until now) that the light was strong enough to damage my roots, they are only cfls after all.....

It should recover, as long as you have green leaves you have a chance of roots repairing, after all clones start with no roots at all.

I root my clones in a aero tub that is clear. The only problem I get is with algae, so as long as I clean my rez at MINIMUM every two weeks, I get no problems. So in other words your roots will be fine, weed is a tough plant.
