For the love of all things green, help me

What is your experience level?
Novice

Your Equipment:
.1) 3x30w CFL, 30w equiv. to 100w incandescent, colour temp: 2700 kelvin per bulb. until recently, under 1 30w cfl and 1 150w incandescent

.2) 13 inches/33cm light distance from top of plant

.3) reflectors improvised with foil and steel, enclosing

.4) moderate-poor airflow, I have a 30cm diameter fan to circulate air within the cupboard and the cupboard is far from airtight. However, I am in the purpose of improving this by adding intake/exhaust air ports aided by PC fans to supplement the larger fan within.

.5) read above r.e exhaust/intake fan

.6) Read answer 1 for wattages and Kelvin, schedule is currently 11 hours light 13 hours dark

Your medium:
.7) Blend of earth and potting compost
.8) 6 inch/15cm diameter pot, 6 inches/15cm deep
.9) did not use “peat bucks” for anything

Your nutrients and water:
10) tap water used, ph 6.5/7
11) moisture/ph sensor probe in pot
12) could adjust with baking soda/vinegar if necessary (never adjust anyway)
13) currently not nuting
14) I water when the surface earth is very dry or my moisture reading dips
15) Used a small amount of cinnamon to keep fungal infection from a cutting wound (old gardener trick :P) this is when I “topped” the plant to reduce vertical growth and encourage horizontalgrowth
16) ph seems stable
17) 6.5/7
18) do not foliar feed

Your growroom:
19) Indoors
20) 1.5 feet deep by 2.25 feet across by 5.5 feet tall
21) I’m not sure, but its quite balmy in there
22) inherited the plant with spidermite problem, though I have been using two kinds of spidermite destroyer on a regular basis and plant did seem to respond well for a time.

Your strain:
23) Northern Lights x AK47
24) I inherited the plant several weeks into Veg, cannot be sure of history
25) Purportedly Autoflowering

start again, really.
the spider mite treatment burned the leaves. The plant is seriously distressed. The soil is questionable. The lights should be closer. The home remedies for pH correction are not effective in the long run. Poor ventilation. (what is the temperature?) what is ' Purportedly Autoflowering'?

thank you, come again! <G>

I feared as much. Is there anything I can do as a last ditch rescue attempt? Thanks

Not to be rude but that plant looks pretty sad, looks like a lot of nute burn and stretching and heat. and mites and soil and oh yeah crap........I would defiantly start over , seriously, to many problems and sadness......

That thang is SHOT. Hey B-lo...u rep there? Love the avatar

Made some careful adjustments to light distance, stopped using bug killer, seems to have recovered. burned leaves have fallen away and have been replaced, new growth began all over. As a result of topping, two shoots have started to grow replacing the one shoot from before. bit of a turnaround.

Thanks, I intend to start over in future hopefully under better circumstances and when I can afford to provide a better space. But I'm not gonna euthanise it just yet, it appears to have taken an upward turn
