first grow but knowledgable

Hi everybody, this my first time growing. I wanted to make a grow journal for future references and also for help along the way. I have done my share of research about the canabbiss plant and how to grow it. But anyways let's get to the plants shall we. I have 4 plants in veg right now ranging from 60-75 days old. I also have 1 seedling that I through in soil maybe 3-5 days ago. I am growing in a 4x2x5 tent I wanna say since I can't remember off the top. I am using a 400watt MH bulb but usually keep the ballast at 50% to save on electricity. I have a carbon air filter and a commercial grade inline fan. Other than that I am missing out on money to buy the rest of the stuff I needed. But Im not stupid and since I've done plenty of research before and during my grow I am pretty positive my plants will make it to harvest day(if they are fem) all the seeds I am using are from high grade weed. I'm talking about some fire guys. None of these seeds were bad or decent weed because I honestly wouldn't have wasted my time for that. I am using foxfarm ocean forest as a medium and currently haven't been able to purchase nutes since I'm short on cash but I plan on doing so before they are all put into flowering(hopefully) every strain I have is different and you can tell because all of the leaves have their own very unique shape. And I'm actually having trouble distinguishing what the actual strains are so that's something I'll need help with. But let's show some pictures and then I'll do some More talking . actually I'm having trouble so let's get some other stuff out there.
1. About a week or two back I saw what at first I thought was spider mite webs. But upon further looking every single day I can't seem to find ANY sign of moving bugs in my tent. Only time I did was when I saw a black and white lady bug(which I sadly drained down the toilet because I thought he was harming my babes at first) and about a week or maybe a couple days before the web appeared I found 2 that's right TWO whitish yellow spiders. I did my research and found out that both didn't harm you plant but can actually work miracles for them by keeping other pests away that will harm them. So that's what I think made the webs because ever since I got the itsy bitsy spiders from out my tent no webs have been spun anymore. So I was happy and relived to find out that mites weren't making the webs.
2. When my plants were much younger the bottom leaves of only 1 and 3 fans would yellow and dry up . I looked online and found that it wasn't normal,or I at least couldn't find a solution to why it was happening. But recently I've noticed that leaves weren't dying anymore and if they are its because a lack of light due to leaves blocking. But when that stopped I started noticing certain leaves (which are now older leaves) would get weird and different types of variated problems with them. Like one plant has nothing too bad besides two tiny brownish colored spots on only two or three leaves.(the plant has a lot of leaves though) on another plant I get to me what looks like spider mites sucking on the back sides of the leaves because there's maybe thirty dots the size of a very small pair of earings, or your pupil when its really small I should say. And this has actually happened on multiple leaves of two plants. But like I said before I can't find anything that leads me to believe I really have spider mites because I haven't seen anything moving on my leaves .
4.(I think #4) the last plant which has actually been put on the 12/12 cycle because of alternating nodes has nothing major besides older leaves only 3 I think are starting to wilt inwards, but aren't drying up, they also don't feel as health as could be either.
Other than those problems nothing else that I'm really worried about besides what I've stated above. The picture attached is one that is growing the fastest and biggest . it has been topped once and low stressed trained . upon looking right now I am seeing that this plant has no problems so I am happy to find out. That plant is one of the two older ones at about 75 days old. The next picture will be the other one that is about 75 days old. This one has been topped twice one of which took place two days ago and has been LST. This plant is the one with the mite sucking looking thing I described before and I'll put the next picture of that. I don't know if you'll be able to see but they are yellowish in color take a look. Pretty sure you can see because I can . but those spots are on a few leaves and like I said I can not find any mites . my best bet of getting a fem will be with that plant , the structure is all there and I am really hoping that its a fem because it smells really fruity too , unlike the rest which all smell different. The next picture will be of the one with the wilting 3 old leaves. This plant has been topped once and LST and although its quite small its about 60-65 days and I've put that one into flowering since its showing signs of sexual maturity. But really I put that one into flowering based solely upon the smell. OMG does this plant stink of skunk . now before a few people say its most likely a male don't jump your gun because there is a high chance this came from skunk weed. That's because I got 3 seed from my dad and he gets the best weed I've never bought (mainly skunk and Sativa's) so that and 2 other plants came from my dads fire weed. But that plant has been on 12/12 for 2 days and I'm just waiting for pistils or sacks.Last but not least is my prized possession . this plant has been LST and topped once just about a week ago. I was very lucky to have this strain because you can tell its meant for LST. While all the other did well in LST this one has exceeded my initial thought of what I thought my results would be. The side branches have shot straight up just like you'll see in a LST diagram and it just looked amazing. Not to mention it gained probably 10+ tops !!! Most out of all plant and its the smallest!!! Those are the plants I was hoping for since my tent isn't too tall. But yeah I'm getting tired of writing on my tablet so I'm gonna go play some COD since I'm on spring break and I'll get back when I have something else to share.

Forgot to mention first picture and the biggest and fastest growing plant was super cropped less than a week ago and I'm seeing amazing results ! I did it to one branch and that one has bloomed much faster than the others ! Just proof super cropping works and I'll get more into detail about my plants later , time for a break
 
And if you can see the tips of some leaves pointing down its because my mh bulb gets very hot and it's so hard with such a small tent but I do with what I got , I've burned the tips of some leaves but the burnt tips are no more burn than a few specs of sand in size.... And just to throw it put there those spots could be burns from spraying water on but I have no idea and I was hoping someone can help me
