General plant health?

First time grow and pretty sure I'm heading towards pre flower. This site has been fantastic in guiding me through :) Just wondering if any of you experts could advise me of how you think it's getting on and if you notice anything wrong that I might need to act on?

Ease up on the feeding a bit and if you want to increase the yield a bit, try tying some of the branches down (LST) so that they are growing more horizontally. Make sure to tie loops around the branches and no tight knots, tight knots can potentially strangle the branch and kill it. Congratulations for leaving all the leaves on your plant, she needs them to make the energy she needs to grow her biggest and best flowers. If you can find any humic acid, fulvic acid or amino acids (all are organic) to give her, these will really please her greatly and boost overall health. Even better if you can find all three! When it comes to feeding, I like to continue with grow nutrients until there are small tufts of pistils/hairs or small budlets formed, (about the first two weeks of actual flowering), before changing to half grow and half bloom nutrients for the next 2-3 weeks (one or two feeds), before changing again to straight bloom nutrients through until harvest. This seems to produce the largest flowers on plants that don't completely exhaust themselves before maturity, and is a method that I have been using for 25+ years and can recommend highly. A mild P/K booster from early to mid flowering can also help to grow nice flowers, but something with a P/K rating of around 13/14 is ample and I would advise against using anything with a P/K rating like 30/40, 25/35 or other extreme boosters, they are just over the top and can really spoil the flavour of the flowers. Otherwise, keep up the good work and happy harvest! Cheers, Organoman.
