How do I wire a 9-wire reversible ceiling fan with light?

I don't have the directions to wire my ceiling fan. There are 9 wires altogether. 1 is the bare, stiff copper ground wire. 3 more are stiff copper wires that are coated Red, White and Black. The remaining 5 wires are more flexible, non-copper wires and are coated Light Green, Dark Green, Blue, Black and White. There is nothing on the fan that says who manufactured it. Can anyone tell me what wires get connected together? This is a reversible fan with 5 blades and 3 lights. There are 2 pull chains: 1 turns the lights on or off. The other chain changes the fan speed. There is a switch on the fan that changes the fan direction. There are 2 switches on the wall, 1 to control the lights and 1 to control the fan. Any help is MUCH, MUCH appreciated. Its been near 100 degrees for the last week!How do I wire a 9-wire reversible ceiling fan with light?ok here we go. bare wire is your ground. in the box twist the 2 bare wires together. now all your green wires get twisted together. wire nut them to the bare ones. grounds are done. red wire goes to one switch on the wall. the black goes to the other. both are hot wires. now twist all the white wires together. wire nut them. ok twist all the blue and black wires together. on the light fixture. then wire nut them to the red wire. the fan motor is wired black to black. wire nut them. but make sure you turn off the breaker not just the switch
