Rescuing from poor conditions

So im a newbie grower and really gave this plant a hard time it had terrible soil texture (dug it up outside) and stunted plant growth. the plant was uprooted twice and buried under its own medium and other debris (storms) Im surprised this plant is alive.my lesson for outdoor growing. I have now put it in a looser medium topsoil and Sphagnum peat moss 1 bag plain topsoil 1 bag Scott’s with organics and peat moss in 5 gal bucket with 8- 1/2 inch holes in bottom. I gave the plant Unsulfured molasses solution first water then calcium ( eggshell and vinegar solution ) second watering then Epsom salts solution after. I also enclosed a grow room light focused fan, adequate ventilation, 1 red 15 par led light 1- blue low output tube aquarium light 2 full spectrum 35 and a 45 par surrounded by reflective insulation boards 6+ ft away. Don’t think I have peat problems still an outside grow room so few bugs tiny spiders minimal removable by hand no pesticides an very few flying insects don’t think this is a pest problem (could be wrong) could play the guessing game but you tell me what you think I’m thinking nutrient problem. It’s been in new medium about 2 weeks and started flowering about the same. What are we thinking am I on the right track or am screwing this up??AC0B5620-58C1-43CF-AF99-5356059C3CC8.jpegEF4C2DDC-CA8F-4422-9AA9-509538ABE0F6.jpegFBDBB403-F13B-4D30-810B-34C448063339.jpegB95C7A4E-782D-4B2D-80A6-A4A7754D3AAD.jpeg

This my opinion…. Put focus on other plants being grown , cull it.
You will spend too much effort in trying to course correct it , when it looks stressed, lacking any good flower formation , looks weak genetically .

Not all lighting in the pic I has 2- 45 par spotlights r/w/ba 15 par bulb r/w 35 par strip r/w/b all led And low output blue tube light figured that would be enough light at a 20/4 cycle you think I need more?

On the note of bugs I have seen a few small flying insects and a few tiny spiders figured was minimal but nothing that seemed to bad my grow is in a trapped lean too so it still semi outside I live in the woods in high humidity not a lot of factors on my side and natural ways you suggest to keep them down can I use oils like eucalyptus possibly

At first thought bugs came to mind, spidermites would be my guess from the looks of her. Spray her down and plant her away from everything else. Might correct but not sure how much growing season you have left. Just my 2 cents worth. I've always grown autos in veg room under 24 hr. Light. Not a photosensitive plant like real cannabis lol. Autos have come a long way since l last tried them, still bad taste in mouth from those seeds and past experience.

Citric acid and mint oil seems to knock them back, l add a few drops of dishsoap and this can burn hairs but will not really hurt her. Just figured out my Girls got them and gave 500 mgs of citric acid a few drops of dishsoap dawn blue mixed in one litre spray bottle. This works best imo! But I'm a frugal farmer, poor in other words. Tried teas from chilli powder with some luck too. But citric acid is my go to. Buy at any bulk food store. Ps you can buy 3000 Kelvin led monos or for cheap. I use 150 w sunlike and like it, was advertised as 2000 w lmao! Vegitates about a 4 x 3 area very well. Driver is very hot compared to my bigger lights.
