This is my first time on my own when it comes to growing.
Your Equipment:
.1) 1 T5 performance fluorescent bulb with standard reflector, and two average fluorescent lights that add more green and red spectrum(really for seedling)
.2) Well the plant got really tall and so its less than 3'' away from the light but it doesn't seem to burn or damage any of the tops.
.3) Reflector only on the T5 light, small wing tip reflector with mirror like polish.
.4) Fan inside the closet moves around the air.
.5) i leave the sliding doors slightly ajar to help air ventilate.
.6) The T5 light is 6400k and the two normal bulbs that i got from home depot that were supposed to be for growing are probably pretty low.
Your medium:
.7) I use root organics soil, it has a ph of 6.5 i think.
.8) 8 quart container
.9) I do not.
Your nutrients and water:
10) Tap water is about 8-9ph i use ph down to get it around 6-7ph.
11) I use ph solution to check a small sample of water.
12) PH down
13) Havn't purchased nutes yet.
14) Every 4-5 days.
15) No addatives.
16) Not too sure about the stability of my ph.
17) Ingoing ph is about 6-7 and outgoing is about 5-6ph so its become more acidic.
18) I spritz with water that has a ph of ~6 no nutes.
Your growroom:
19) Indoors
20) Closet is 8 feet high 12 feet wide and 3 feet deep.
21) Day temp/hum is ~ 78F/ 50% humidity. Night i don't really know.
22) I find a nat flying around once in a while but after extensive searching i found no evidence of parasites.
Your strain:
23) Bag seed, but judging from its growth I'd say it is sativa.
24) Seeds
25) No

I did at one point mix some Miracle grow bloom booster at the beginning of the flowering stage, but i diluted it much more than said instructions and i didnt really see any difference in the plants health. As far as problems I only have 2. It has been on 12/12 cycle for maybe 6-8 weeks and it only has tons of hairs, no buds but tons of hairs with thc covering them, the leaves on the top have a little crystals on them too. The hairs are weighing down some of the weaker branches but nothing that looks unhealthy. The only negative sympton is yellow speckles on the edge of the fan leaves. It is only on 2 or 3 fan leaves though so it isn't spreading throughout the whole plant. When i touch them they seem dry and brittle. The veins are green but the areas around them are stained yellow. I tried a flush and it has not changed. Oh and lastly some of the newer/ middle aged leaves only have 5 or 3 leaves very few have fully developed 7 but there are some. The plant is a tall wirey kind of plant with large stretches of stem in between the hairs and fan leaves. Looking for suggestions and hoping for some good news xD. Thx for everthing in advance.
