History of my actions for Tulasi

Today I'm going to analize all my Tulasi history in attempt to find the answer to the question "What did I do wrong?"

Most common mistakes are not watering right and not enough light. I think that's not about us.
So the only thing left - I'm not feeding her right.

9 March 2014 - seed in the ground
1 June 2014 (soil Miracle Gro, lamp CFL full spectrum)

9 June 2014
Here problems begin - brown dry tips. Most possible reason - overwatering. But I misunderstood it as a bad soil with fertilizers. So I went to buy soil fertilizers free and
13 June 2014 - tranplanted Tulasi to bigger pot
18 June 2014
Here I saw first yellow leaf with white veins and started fertilizing
28 June 2014 - fertilizer (deluted composted cow manure)
30 June 2014 - first flower
9 July 2014
At this photo I can see that leaves started to curl downwards already.
13 July 2014 - Miracle Gro All Purpose fertiliser (200g)
24-N  8 - Phosphate 16 - Potash
26 July 2014 - Miracle Gro (100g)
9 August 2014 - Miracle Gro (300g)
11 August 2014 - shower (started war with spider mites which possibly were never present...)
12 August 2014
White veins especialy on tips that later became dry and leaf falled off. I decided that it was spider mites. Now I think I was wrong. 
15 August 2014 - under HPS lamp

22 August 2014 - under MH lamp (at this point she was looking really bad. Many leaves were first having white veins than turning brown dry and fall)

23 August 2014 - Miracle Gro (300g) + Safers inseticide

9 April 2015
11 April 2015 - Miracle Gro

10 May 2015 - fertilizer 14-14-14 for Hanging Basket

22 May 2015 - took her outside first time

Conclusion: Change of lamps, applying Miracle Gro Fertilizer and insecticide, replanting into new soil didn't seem to help. My only guess that wood ashes made some change. Althoughit was dangerous. I'm going to check this out.
