I agree with Cynthia - both the parent plants are from tropical regions - very hot (temp: 22 - 30degC; apologies, I don't think in fahrenheit) and humid (75 - 85%RH). As it is a primary hybrid, it is probably not hardened to colder temps, thus you're getting those bud blast.

Do move it to the warmest spot you have in your place - this is most important. Then you can deal with the humidity: forget about the ceiling fan - too much air movement means lower humidity. As long as it is not in a place with stagnant air, then it should be ok. You may consider placing it on a humidity tray (you may DIY one for yourself).

I believe primary hybrid phals of tropical parents do not behave like those hybrids that have been crossed many times... your plant is proably more sensitive to the microclimate you provide for it and will require some time to harden and acclimatise.

Cheers, jaxz
