I’ve re-ordered it how I’d ask questions, to describe the grow room from major factors to minor and added a couple things here and there for your consideration, I put them in bold so it’s easy to see what I added.  Some of them may be redundant so by all means edit away as I won’t be offended if you ignore some of my suggestions.  I know I’m a verbose mofo, so I always appreciate when people make things more readable.

1. breeder & strain
2. Indoor or outdoor?
3. Grow space size + pot/container size, Sun exposure if outdoors (hours of direct sunlight)
4. Lighting used (Brand name & model + watts pulled from the wall + light schedule + spectrum)
5. Organic or synthetic + grow method + medium (Hydroponic, soil, coco, other soilless medium, autopots, octopots, DWC, DTW.. etc)
6. Describe ventilation system
7. c02?
8. AC, dehumidifier, humidifier?
9. Daytime & nighttime temps + humidity ranges, VPD (Ex: Nighttime 65-60(F/C) / 55-60% RH, Daytime 79-84(F/C) / 50-55%RH)
10. Ambient temps + humidity outside of the grow space (If in a tent) as this air is being pull in via vents when extraction fans are running.
11. Temperature of the soil/root zone if using a heating mat or other external heating.
12. Nutrients/plant food used – please include how much is recommended by the manufacturer, and also the rate you feed if it is different.  Any amendments/bacterial innoculant/myco/etc used?
13. input PH/EC (Please include what meters you use)
14. Feeding frequency – (watering days, top dressing, teas, synthetic supplements)
15. How much does the container dry out between waterings?
16. How much run off & how frequent do you water til run off? PH/ EC checked? (Synthetic only)
17. How are you rehydrating peat based soil mixes if they dry out too much?
18. Growth stage of the plant (Ex: Day 17 veg or day 45 from flip) *If you start counting the start of flower when clusters form please indicate that*
19. Are the issues on new growth?
20. At least 4 pics (whole plant, affected area, under the skirt & above the tops looking down)
21. Have you seen this issue on previous crops, if so are their any similarities? (i.e. both crops in early flower, expresses after transplanting, etc)
22. Have you previously tried resolving this issue before asking here? If so, what was done as an attempt to remedy the issue? This can make or break the ability for an accurate diagnosis.
23. Have you had issues with bugs, PM or other pathogens? Any other stress on the plant?
