Just to bring this post to a close...
Final words:
So, upon my HPS light dying as the pistils turned orange I had to unfortunately allow for my plant to take a week into darkness before it was even ripe, this undoubtable stopped production and upon execution & trimming of the plant I discovered it had grown male flowers. No seeds are found, so I had averted that problem all together; I am currently curing in mason jars w/ some orange slices. Will have to cure a long time to get rid of that premature taste, it gives a good stone though from what i had smoked after a 'quick dry'.
The plant had suffered a little until the end of its days, I had since just watched the pH to allow the plant to progress, it stayed at a point and did not progress worse so I figure it would had only been the N def. you see once in a while as every other part of the plant was healthy minus a few fan leaves yellowing & dying.
For a small plant, i probably scored a fat quarter or more of nugs, which is about or a little more than the $$$ i invested in this project (minus the lamp i had from before) so I figure I broke even considering all the losses I did manage to have in this grow.
I have since given a lot of thought to the setup I encompassed this grow log around and had come to a defining change that I will implement with my next round of grows. I am going to refrain from using rock wool this time around, and will replace with the peat pellets straight into hydroton. I will also plant them farther down into the cups to allow the roots to grow at a faster rate, and also supplying a root+ complex - Also will probably mix a small amount of verm + peat layer to add for moisture control on the initial transplant.
I feel the importance of a TDS meter with this log, I feel that was the only error I provided myself was the lack of exact control on this grow. I guess I have control issues, LOL. W/o the proper understanding of the dissolved solids & salt content and a lack also of a hygrometer (humidity meter). I believe the resin output is incredibly enhanced with proper conditions, my closet being drier I have come with little resin on the buds but also it was somewhat premature... still, the buds were maybe only a few days early if anything and I dont feel Resin would have impacted that greatly in such a short time at least not from my experiences...
I have since also built a monkey screen for the plants, so that the light is reflected as much as possible. This was done with 6 sides. I am going to attach mylar to this once I purchase a roll, and this will increase my yield capability as well.
So, i was surfing 1000bulbs.com; and if you hadnt seen that site yet, you really should. The deals on lights is incredible, if your on a budget a $8 400w HPS bulbs, ballasts for $70 and $40 MH to HPS conversion bulb; so you dont even have to buy a separate ballast or setup.... l337 shit man...
Anyway, i had been very busy and I am sorry that this log had died as it had, I meant for it to be stream lined with updates every few days.
....
I have begun the germination process today on my White Widow seeds...

It sounds like you need to get your priorities in order man. Grow log > all. lol.
But seriously, I think a tds/ec meter will really help ya out. I couldn't imagine trying to estimate nute concentration, but i haven't completed a single grow yet. Good luck with your future grows!

Is the bloom nutrient solution you are using made by agricultural organics, they are referred to as the "Yellow bottles". I heard a lot of good reviews about them. ??
Any help would be appreciated.
