Feed lightly would be the biggest tip. Tie her down and train branches early would be another. And the most important tip - as she will flower long, slow and late, consider very carefully where you place her so that she is getting the most amount of sun in October/November when she is finishing the flowering cycle. I have found feeding quarter to half strength (max!) nutrients the way to go. Feeding quarter strength every 2 weeks or so seems to be much much better than heavy feeding once in a while. A constant gentle trickle of nutrients is the go. Do not use bat guano at any strength greater than 10% of recommended dilution rate. Worm castings, compost, compost teas and well broken down chook poo are all excellent supplements. A handful of blood/bone meal and some volcanic rock dust/mineral mix also help. When it comes to flowering, adding a P/K booster at half strength and twice as long between recommended application rates is plenty enough. The other biggie - patience, patience, patience! Flowering will be long and slow, so be prepared to wait. Giving too much nitrogen will just cause excessive leafy flowers, so gently, gently is the go. I can not stress how important gentle feeding is and to not push her along with big feeds, which will only burn. Pale leaves are normal too, not an indication of any type of deficiency. Hope this helps, Organoman.
