Do i have a unicorn or not

So being relatively new to growing cannabis ( 2 years under the belt ) and have been struggling with pest and mold resistance indoor and outdoor. I ran almost all indica or indica leaning hybrids, even the autos, because I believed that A. Sativas gave me anxiety and B. They were more mold and pest resistant if you didnt have to worry about late season rain ( aka indoor ).

Ran 3 special queen #1 autos and had amazing luck my first grow, no problems but some white spots on leaves from thrips. The next one was a mix of 6 autos all different indica leaning but with some 8 week and the longest 10 weeks flower all with powder nutes

For the next grow decided to go organic and living soil instead of coco/ perlite and powder nutes... THIS IS WERE THE NIGHTMARE STARTED after the fast run, decided to step up the game and do 6 different photos, they grew incredible but the trellis didnt alow pulling them out and trimming and spider mites TOOK OVER ever single plant was COVERED except 1 who was super health looking, only had webs were they passed over it to get to the other plant, its shape was perfect and it was a cherry pie, having been looking for that strain for 15 yrs and thinking I might have found a plant semi resistant to pests, culled every other plant, used daily scrubs of bleach water or h202 to clean the tent every day, changed the soil and used spinocide and other ipm which I did every day for 3 months, after 1 month of being sure the born was gone, cloned this cherry pie to fill the tent, ended up with a bunch of extra clones

In my area you can not grow outside without at least SOME powdery mildew damage, in my area outdoor growers loose 50% of their crop every year, a good year you only loose 25% to molds and fungi, im the yard were they were their has never been a plant that haven't got wpm its a pure breeding ground, it gets so humid it dosent even need rain just 100% humodity and the spores start to grow. But low and behold its in flowering now after 3 months in the worst spots that could be found to test their resistance and NOTHING they get rained on, not shook off, dont get sunlight untill 10 - 11 am so they stayed covered in dew AND NOTHING, I break their branches and purposely stress them out to try to force a herm or just see if I can find a limit, but NOTHING ITS INCREDIBLE, ive only grown 2 years but my family and friends ive helped and watched for over 20 years and ive never seen a plant not get wpm, botritis, or get taken out by bugs, this plant has not only done all 3, but it BLEEDS PURPLE if you add cold and the ph is a little off so its not getting phosphorus as much and its INCREDIBLE, the nodes are all 1 inch apart, its beautiful shaped, it smells incredible, I dont really know what the buds look like because of all the hold ups but they are finally starting to form on the ourdoor lot and looking INCREDIBLE

Tldr: have a cannabis plant that survived the borg, wpm factory, stress tests, and wins beauty contests and will turn out WEIGHT... ​is this as rare as I believe? Im 100% keeping a couple young clones to start a breeding program with regardless of what you guys think but, am I tripping or is a plant that check all these boxes really not as rare as my 20 years experience say it is....

Or are all the seeds sold now adays only breed for indoor or they are just crappy or focus on the wrong thing despite saying outdoor strain thats INCREDIBLY MOLD RESISTANT

Help id this deficiency

Been struggling with what I though was a nutrient lockout because of water ph problem, but one plant is compleatly fine, the other is not ok, I added 4 tbs of Gaia green 4,4,4 and their bloom 2,8,4 plus some D.E diatomatious earth for silica, the plant that looks healthy was in a bag soil and the sick one was in home made soil that is 1/3 coco coil that was soaked in a heavy cal/mag solution for 2 days, 1/3 black cow compos, and 1/3 organic bag soil ... then I added a good amount of perlite for aeration, a bunch of other clones from the healthy one showed what looked like nutrient lock out but when given the 444 and 248 nutrients they turned green again and are on their way back to looking healthy, the sick looking one ended up throwing out these brown spots, HOW CAN O FIX THIS WHAT IS IT, im adding cal mag in the water from now on and some of that clone x nutrient for starting clones with all the minor nutrients like iron ect ect

Any tips, once I have money, im gonna get more of the j.a.w just add water brand soil the healthy one is in and move the ones in 3 gal to 5 gal with better soil,

Long story short what kinda deficiency is this or is it a lock out situation because I cant test my water ph ive messed up 4 ph meters trying to set them up, no matter how many times I follow the instructions perfectly it still never works propper and the dip strip ph is hard for a color blind person to do plus they only go by whe #s

Any help would be appreciated, the sick plant is from a plant that was pure purple, not just nugs but entire plant almost black untill sun hits it idk if that has to do with something but

Best way to trim/train for best yeild indoor

cherry pie from rqs

The internodal spacing is super super tight, im talking nodes every inch or less up every single branch coming off of the main stem, and the main lateral branches are also close going up the stem as well, this clone has been begging for 2 and a half or 3 months after air rooting it on the mother, its a cherry pie from rqs, it was the only plant in a test that got infested with spider mites, every other plant was covered in webs and bites but this one was not only resistant, but almost repelled them, I isolated it for 3 months doing bi weekly sprays of a rotating 3 organic pesticides, after 3 months 6 were air rooted at about 1 foot tall out of woody under branches, now its been 3 more months ive rested a clone outside in a littleral feild of w.p.m that stays super humid, wet ,and dosent get sun untill after noon this plant STILL didnt get wpm.... the internodal spacing does scare me for flower time it being known for dense flowers, but long story short

  1. Should I leave the super tight spacing between the nodes?

  2. for yeild what would be the best way

3.should It be giving more time to veg?

  1. Yes I knoe the other plants are in nutrient lockout, the problem is being addressed.

their are 5 other plants in the 5x5 thats 8ft tall, its under a 480w full spectrum light on a a 18/6 schedule and everything in going into a pre made potting mix made for this with some Gaia green added to it like the q good plant, no more home made soil, ALWAYS MESS IT UP!!!

This is going to be my last indoor grow, I have 3 cycles under my belt and to be honest its not worth it, the power bill is crazy, and used clones for the first time and it took way to long for everything to be ready, the uniformity is cool but, I had auto from sprout to harvest ready in 8 weeks, outdoor seems like the only way to do it, in a locked greenhouse or something, but this will be my last grow how can I squeeze every last drop out of this run, they are all cherry pie clones except 2 thay are blue on black selfed seeds from a compleatly purple zip a friend gave me from main, the best looking stuff, so just 2 strains in a 5x5 with enough light, the ph lock out will be fixed and they ( except the one already in the pot) are gonna be potted up to a 5 gal, with the same soil mix the green one has , that was the tester to see if it fixed the problem, its not the water pH because they all get the same water, im guessing the microbiome in the self msde soil isent working right, idk any help would be appreciated

Are these young cacti too purple?

Why are some purple and others not, is it just genetic because they all got the same amount of sun,

Started inside under 18/6 full spectrum light around 1000ppfd, now moved from outside under a shade cloth for mid day and gets 2+ hours of direct sun in the am and 2+ hours off sun in the pm.

In 50/50 organic cacti soil mix / perlite

Watered with organic cacti feed every other watering it has tons of mycroyrizal

All the black is spores from the beneficial fungi fruiting and spore ing all over the place haha, the big ones are actually started 1.5 months after the rest but I added a new kind of mycrorizal to the soil mix and sealed it inside a gallon freezer bag, opened it once a week to spray with a spray bottle and then drip the fertilizer+ mycrorizal mix+ some clonex clone solution ( not the hormones but the nutrients ) from a luer lock right onto each one, helping was off the spores, just started taking it outta the bag and put outside, the temps have been from 45f and cold rain to 95f day time with 100% humidity but its usually high 50s to high 70s going from 100% humidity to 30%-40% during the day

When to flip to flower, first time using clones

First time useing clones, 2 of these are seeds the rest are from one mother plant of cherry pie from rqs the tent is a 5 x 5 thats 6.5 ft tall and the lighta 480w full spectrum. i did a run that got destroyed by spider mites and this plant was A. Not only the most beautiful, but B. Had no spider mites on it, so I killed everything else isolated it and went through littlerly 3 months of depression and thrice weekly rotating organic pesticide baths were I just gave up and kept the thing alive under a 100w light, I had won so I air rooted it got 6 clones all about the same hight and now idk how.much longer untill I should initiate flowering, they have been in their 3 gal pots for 3 weeks, after being in another pot for a month after being cut off the mother and put in a half gallon, this pheno has like NO internodal spacing if I dont remove 2 nodes between every node im gonna keep I feel like it would be so dense I would 100% get p.m ( around my house is a p.m zone everything gets it all plants and when the humidity hit 100% like it does every night they dont even need​ droplets to form in the spores just grow) and i cant afford to run a dehumidifier, this is going to be my last run ever you can get zips for 100$ of fire here so like its pointless to grow inside legally to expensive and impossible without useing pesticides because you dont have the predators so anything that gets in will explode, its to mucb for me but im not a quitter so this run im gonna do what I can to get the best cherry pie I can, so how much longer should I veg? And any tip would be appreciated its under a 480w farm a lite full spectrum with a fan on it

Also if your wondering why I kept it instead of getting new stuff, this plant was exceptional, ive never had a plant that when you picked leaves it bleed purple l, your fingers turned purple and I have been searching for these specific genetic, since I was 17 haha, plus im stupid so
