Hello.

My setup:
Species: I think it's OG Kush, but may be Sour Diesel.(the seeds were in the same bag)
Lights: 2 CFL 25W, 2.5 inches away from the plant.
Soil: Sunshine Mix#6 - Formulated with Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, nutrient charge (with Gypsum), (contains twice the fertilizer charge and Gypsum as our Mix #1) and dolomitic limestone.
Perlite, and worm castings(humus). The percentage is 5-3-2(mix, perlite and humus)
Ventilation: none(working on it)
Nutes: last time I fed her was last thursday, with 2ml/gallon of FloraNova Grow
Temperature: It varies from
86F to 64F, normally.

So my plant has always had issues. Her bottom leaves started yellowing and falling off like from her 3rd week, and I never managed to fix that. On the other hand, she kept growing, so as some leaves were falling new ones were turning up.

Last thursday I decided it was time to do something, so, presuming that was a nitrogen defficiency, I fed her 2ml/gallon of FloraNova grow, and I gave her like 500ml of that mix.

The symptons then halted. Until yesterday. She spent the whole day closed in the cabinet, and by night this new issues showed up:

20131127_012430.jpg #1 This here was happening yesterday. The leaf started bending down and this brown-gray areas in the edge showed up.
20131127_113203.jpg #1 This is an update of the leaf after the night. It started bending upwards and the brown-gray areas are still there.
20131127_012441.jpg #2 This one got whitened up. I guess that's heat stress
20131127_012445.jpg #3 The tips that I mentioned before... started getting like this, and bending down.
20131127_012518.jpg #4 This one is more of a curiosity. This things looks almost silver from naked eye. It kind glows.
20131127_113133.jpg#5 Some bad-looking dots that appeared. (the leaf is cut because of a mistake I made)
20131127_113225.jpg #5 Again the cut-up leaf.

So, what are each of this 5 symptons that showed up?? They also got a little worse from yesterday to today.

I haven't watered her since thursday, and soil is still wet!

Your soil is designed for aggressive vegetative growth, it's too much for them yet. They will probably grow into it.

see the white spots? You have spider mites or thrips (pictures 1 and 5), plus it looks like your soil is too wet. EDIT I read your thread again, you said that the stuff on the leaves looks shiny. If it looks like the trail a slug leaves then it for sure is thrips.

Yes, there has been some bugs that stay on the soil and when I shake the soil they fly. But I've never ever spotted one on a leaf, so I tought they were soil-bugs rather then plant bugs!

Thanks for the info!! Should I apply inseticide? I have already hand-killed a lot..

I may not be able to find this in my region. I may be able to buy stuff with Citronella, or with tobacco-basis... are they useful?
If I thought they were usefull I would have recommended them. You can find de on the internet. It's going to work best for your situation. Plants usually look like they are dying from the bottom up if they are under fed. In your case I would hit the plants with de, flush them good with 6.5 ph water and then let them sit until the soil is almost dry before you water again.

Wow man, don't need to be so agressive.. I can't find this on my country, better saying. Will have to buy online at some retailer shop like Amazon.

DE isnt going to do shit the second you pour water on it. Can you get any neem oil products? A layer of sand on top can help, too.
