Sup guys. I started growing my plant in my walk-in closet (about 5.5ft by 5.5ft) a little less than 2 months ago. This is my first growing experience. It's worth mensioning that I was too impatient to wait until I had enough money to buy all of the ideal supplies/equipment to start growing so I started my plant off cheap. I thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the room then I put my seedling under 2 40 watt flourescent bulbs where it recieved 24 hours of light per day. I did, however, use a good soil. I use Fox Farm soil and according to my research and understanding, it is ideal for growing cannabis... and indeed it works very well. Another thing worth mensioning here is that I did not and still do not have nutrients or ventilation.
After about a month under these conditions, I ordered lots of reflective mylar and a 400 watt HPS lamp with a polished reflector. During the 2 weeks it took for my order to arrive, I went to a hardware store and bought some thick 100% non-transparent black plastic to line the floor of my closet with. I measured, cut, and stapled it to a wooden frame right where the floor and walls meet (a lot of people have this in their house), then sealed it with duct tape, making it air-tight.
When my mail arrived, I covered the walls of my closet with the reflective mylar and kept my plant under the 400 watt HPS lamp 24/7 until I knew I would be able to get a ventilation unit and carbon filter in time (before the plant started stinking up the place in the flower cycle).
My plant has been in the flower cycle now for a little less than 2 weeks. It is given 12 hours of light per day. I water the plant once every 2-3 days and spray it twice daily. I have no nutrients and no ventilation but I will have that this friday. I forgot to mension that I have had a rotating fan going the whole time. Also, I was a little late on transferring the plant into a bigger pot when it needed it.... about 2 weeks late roughly. Im mensioning this because it is possible that it may lead to answers.
I have a bunch of questions I need answered and it'd be great if someone could maybe help me out. I've numbered them so they're easier to respond to individually.
1. Sinse about week 3 some of my plant's leaves actually grew like this... I have never seen this deformity in any of my research... I dont know if it's a problem but sinse I put it in the flower cycle, i've been seeing less and less of this.

2. I know its early for sexing but I'm trying to determine the sex of my plant... Im actually kind of worried that my plant is a hermaph. Look very closely.

3. How does my plant look over all? Should I trim anything? Please note that I'm using a flourescent bulb in these pictures and above for a more clear image because my phone cant handle the brightness of the HPS.

4. What are the best nutrients for both cycles and cloning? Note that I do not know the strand of my plant... it was a mystery seed i got out of a headies bag.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way... this is my setup as of now. It's the best my phone could do lol... sorry its not too clear. Anyhow... thanks so much guys!!
