1st Grow of Detroit Chronic!! w/ Pics

9 Bagseed of the finest Detroit Chronic, I have NO idea what strain it is(I guessed Aphgan) germed under a crap 20w fl tube, the closest I could get, they leafed and grew fast. I had to move they had to move with me, stress for me stress for them, threw them under 6 40w fl cool white tubes, ended up with 4 males kept one outside cut the tips and froze them for possible future use.
It left me with 5 females. Two were very strong thick budded plants with lots of green leaf. Two semi thick and turned out fluffy and very brown when cured, but very potent, everyone loved it. (Did I mention I dont smoke pot?) Yea, my dog had stage 4 cancer, pills were makin her sick to her stomach, guess what? Pot works man, she dug it, she breathed it in, damn tail was waggin when it was sparked up! Its just too bad she didnt make to try my harvest, if ya know what mean.
Anyway, and the last one, it looks sick, slow growth, all the leaves including bud leaves turned brown, I read and read did everything in the forums advice. None the less its still budding with a small amount of resin. Its growing in a 3 gal pot, one of my strong ones were growing in a 3 gal, all the rest are 5 gal. So I ruled that out of being the problem. I was reading another journal and their plant looked exactly like my sick one and everyone commented that it looked great, so maybe there is still hope.
My problem is, Ive been growing these things since middle of April!
I noticed this strain like temps under 75 during the last stages of flowering and it likes the temp between 75 and 84 during veg, it does like the nutrients, Miracle grow for veg anything after that was totally organic. P/K was bagged pellets, which I crushed up then put into the water, no pellets in my soil.
I bought canna pk it arrived one month late from Hydroasis. I would recommend never to go through this site. By the time it arrived it was too late to use on all the plants but the sickly looking one and the container was open. During that time I used molasses in my water, it loved it, it increased the size of my buds and growth. Over the last two weeks Ive been flushing every 4 days, I ended up with white flies, Fox Farm Bug Be Gone worked within 1 day. Ive only seen two since.
I now have a 100x micro, Ive taken a small leaf of each bud and I get 2 clear trichomes to every 10 cloudy's. And Im guessing about 30% red hairs. My gut says to let it go another day, but Ive been saying that for the last 4 days and there hasnt been any change in the last 4 days to the plant, hmmm what to do? The last plant I harvested I kept the bottom buds growing for regen and possibly some new clones.
Which brings me to another problem, I got 3 successful off my plants but I left them under 12/12 with the other plants because I didnt have another set up for 24/0, now they have budded. Over the last week I finally set up a closet with one Plant & Aquarium fl tube with 5 new seeds, 1 chronic and 4 of which my friend called Hydro (I know its a way, not a name) I told em that too)Their growing great I just need to bring up closer to the light, except its gonna block the light for the 3 clones, yea I know I need to add another light, I just dont want to spend anymore money!
Ive been tempted to harvest all my plants just give my new ones the light they need! I think it would help to know the strain, my wish list, White Widow, Northern Lights, Sour Diesel! HPS excellent source of fresh air other than the one I have int the window its gettin to cold out, its a constant monitor between the heater and the fans.
