Hello all, this is my first post, and my first grow. I did a good bit of research on how to go about this, from Lighting and aroma prevention to nutrients and plant development. I'm pretty sure I did a solid job, but theres always room to learn.
I have one auto-flowering Big Bud or Lemon Haze plant (not sure which cause the guy i got it from couldn't remember which was which >.<) in a closet grow sealed with 4mill plastic, a 150W HPS Light about 22in above it and its in a aeroponics setup. Two inline exhaust fans, one 6in pulling air out through a Carbon Filter, and one 4in inline exhaust pulling air in. Also have 2 fans moving air around, one toward the wall and one on the fan. (Two because the first one I got showed my plant what a Hurricane would be like lol)
When i first started I failed to see the importance of nutrients despite my research mostly because I was caught up more on the prevention of smell....until the tips began coming up with yellow spots. After a great deal of research, I'm pretty sure I figured out what the problems could be. Could have been excessive heat, or nutrient deficiency. So i raised the light up , and went to a hydro store in search of a good nutrient mix. When I talked to this guy at the store he suggested flushing the roots with tap water for a day and a half, make a small mix of cal-mag water solution and spray the leaves w/ it as the roots are flushed, and then adding this nutrient mix as its source of water. So I flushed the roots with tap water for a day and a half, sprayed the leaves a couple times a day, and last night I added FloraDuo A and B, and 1/8tsp of some Cal-Mag Pro. I am hoping to have everything under control at this point. But after flushing the roots the plant is looking....well kinda like it is dieing....To be more specific, some of the leaves are beginnin to droop down and the yellow-tip ones are curling somewhat as well. Idk...it just looks like its all drooping now. So the main reason for this post (aside from having a way to ask for help when/if needed) is just some assurance that I haven't made some dumb first time growers mistake. Is this from the flushing of the roots? Or did I spray the cal-mag on the leaves to much? I think I got all my bases covered, but as it is my first grow, I'm going by what I pick up off the internet. Maybe I need to just be patient and let the nutrients take hold...but any help or advice would be very helpful!

I have to say i am also very intrigued as to what it is!
