Hello again,
The story is short, my plant is 4 weeks old. I've started with one 23 Watt CFL light bulb and everything was going fine. I've added some more light about 2 more light bulbs 45 Watt each. 3 Light bulbs ( ECONOMIC ). Aprox. 4800 lm ( lumens ) Light program : 16 Hours light ON / 8 Hours light OFF.
She was looking so fine when I had just one 45 Watt light bulb ( like in the picture below ) after that everything went for bad to terrible ...

I water it 1 / 4-5 days, using only rain water.
I am using a fan that works 24/7 getting the air into the box.
The temperature is constant about 26 Celsius.
I use special soil and a little perlite.
My soil details :
organic matter 55 - 60 %
moisture 65 - 75 %
mineral salt 0.7 - 0.8 %
mineral nitrogen 50 - 150mg / kg
soluble potassium 100 - 150mg / kg
The box is covered with aluminium foil.
The plant little box is covered with white paper so that light can't get to the roots.
The old light system was like this :

After this light setup, in a few days I've got this yellow leaf problem :

The leafs ware starting to fall down :

So I've decided to change light system setup like this :

I've cut down the ugly yellow leafs and let only the green one stay.
Nothing good happened so I've started to use some universal fertilizer for indoor plants, after 1 day with fertilizer the plant looks bad, she looks like she is dying :

Please help me save this plant ! Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you !
