My input is that your garden is running a little hot and dry, that could attract mites. If mites aren't a problem then your heat is a little high. Your plants like it at around 76. But this is the same problem every patient has when trying to flower during the summer months. So it's basically the hardest crop to pull off, but cooler seasons lay ahead.

The $400 solution is cool tube for your light hood or air conditioning for the area. The cheap solution is water a little more, maybe run the light at night when it's cooler and run the dark part in the hottest part of the day. Move your garden to the coolest part of the house, a basement, etc..

I know options are limited depending the area but there's a few ideas anyway.

careful about burnin the diesel. chances are it wont want as much food as the romulan, and plan on it stretching more too, so watch the light. (too close can cause hermaphrodites)

thats why I dont like closet grows. Its tricky to control your environment. Heck Ill sleep in the closet and use my bedroom for the plants if it comes down to it. Dont get discouraged if you make mistakes and things dont go to plan, it happens in the beginning. You will eventually get better and each grow will lead to more knowledge and improvments in technique and setup

Uhm, do you have a tempered piece of glass for the hood where the light is? If no, look into getting one of those then connect your cfm to the top with proper fixures. This way you can keep your light even closer to your plants :) More light='s faster growth! "too close can cause hermaphorodites" <---What the hell is he smoking hahahaha. No such thing as hermaphroditing your plants cuz the light being to close. Probably just hear say that he must have heard or something. Anyhow! Dyna grow! Yes, that is what I use, but not for my soil plants :) For my aeroponic system, but it does say to use "EVERY WATERING" So there is one answer to one of your questions. Honestly if you can keep your temp between 72-76 <--- no more than 76F you will be doing killer bro! Yup, your humidity could go up just a tad :) Don't go over 60%, try to keep between 45%55% that seems about right :) A lot of people will say Miracle gro sucks. Well kinda, so if you can afford to go to a hydro store, pick up some better soil :) "Power Flower" if your experienced at flowering :) "Happy frog" if you like to fertilize your plants all the time. "Fox farm ocean" that stuff is good to :) Ditch the miracle gro though if you can. Anyhow, if you want to know anything let me know :) IM A MR. KNOW IT ALL! Hahaha...

my buddy had a sour diesel next to a few atomic bb x nl and one of the branches hit the light, and some male flowers popped out. wasnt too bad of a problem, but it can happen. still turned out good, and ive seen good seeds turn out by accident.
