A rare crystal is used in an experiment and starts with a weight of 5 grams. The crystal's weight increases by 20 percent every 3 hours. Additionally, every 9 hours, instead of a growth period, environmental factors cause the crystal to lose 5 percent of its current weight. Determine the weight in grams of the crystal after 15 hours.
