Too little light, too far away. Sativa's can be a bitch if using CFL's since the plants tend to get so tall. CFL light only extends about 6-8 inches, so lower region of the plant will suffer greatly.

Likely rootbound. Let the soil dry enough to carefully check the roots.

16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? To My knowledge yes
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? ~7.6 in upper ~upper 5's runnoff
You can not check runoff ph using test strips or drops that have a color-coded result. The tinting of the runoff skews the results. (same thing after adding nutrients to the ingoing water) Definatelly do not chase your ph around or make any changes based on your runoff numbers. They are wrong.

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Fox Farms Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom feeding schedule
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? 1-2 pints when the soil is dry and light
Never use nutrients to balance your ph. You are overdosing them tremendously, and likely screwing-up the ph instead of fixing it. Fox Farms was kind enough to provide you a weekly feeding schedule that works very well. Follow it. (plain ph'd water inbetween feedings only if necessary)
Get some phDown by General Hydroponics, or a similar phDown product. White vinegar or lemon juice as a temporary ph adjuster, but only for short periods. But get the right tool for the job you've already started. :thumbsup:

Ditch the Superthrive. It isn't necessary, doesn't work well with other nutrient sources, and can do more harm than good. FF Grow Big and Tiger Bloom each have almost all the micronutes you'll need. In flower, the only additive I give is unsulfered molasses at 1 tsp per gallon of properly ph'd water, once a week. In my garden, molasses replaces all budswell products, carbo-load products and CalMag products, since that's what they are made from anyway.
