how many watts are you using?

what kind of lighting cycle are you using?

and the black dots could be spider mites. Are there yellow/white spots on the leaves?

if it were me i would bump up the watts and add more or better wattage cfl bulbs.

12off 12 on ... there are some white spots on some leafs ... i tried sponging those black dots off but it seemed sketchy it felt like i was gonna rip the fan leaf off ha but im using 5 soft white cfls 14watt ( 60 watt equivalent) ... do you think i should purchase the 23 watt bulbs ( 100 watt eq) or should i go higher... im on a pretty low budget but cfls are cheap ..

well for one plant i had 256 watts by time she went into flower cycle

and you are running about 70 watts, so i would bump up the lighting if it were me

get some more lights and watering once a week seems too little. just stick your finger in the soil about about an inch in and if it's dry water up.
