what strain is the 1 bladed leaf plant? Def not light issue, mutation or strain? if its a mutant take a clone and see if the mutation stays. if it does she could be a great producer. single bladed from start to finish, think of the light penetration!
Ya my bubblegum drinks 1gal of water a day easy.
whats your overall space up there? (not just your grow area).
If you go HPS you will probably need to vent the area (unless you have a large enough area that the heat is dispersed and dispensed all by itself
).
The hairs that your seeing are probably just the calyx's that form at each node once the plant has reached sexual maturity.
Flowering won't start to occur until a week or so after you change the lights to 12/12. (never grown those strains, there not auto's right? Would assume not since you got clones
)
Depending on the height of the attic you may want to consider either starting to flower soon, cropping, lst or scrog. Within the first 2 weeks your plant will grow anywhere from 6-12" taller. Products like Bushmaster can be used to lessen and sometimes kill this stretch all together. 6-12" doesn't sound bad but a plant thats say 6" tall ends at around 2' tall. (clones 2" usually end around 1- 1 1/2' if grown as a cola).
Anyways i went off on a stoned moment there.
Your stuff is lookin great though man, atleast from what i can see
( I can tell you don't overly play with them, people who touch there plants too much always have these words in there thread "My stem snapped or why is my plant 1inch tall at 9 months HELP." not that messin with your plant is bad just give it its space
lol)
If you got any Q's ask away and if i can answer I will.
what CFL's you got? (watt's & spectrum)
