@Saber, Yes you can use your bloom nutrients. What were you able to come up with for nutes? What is the N-P-K of the nutes? I see your still struggling with heat issues. I guess when it's over 100 F outside it's not helping you out much even running an air conditioner. I would suggest only running your lights on 18 hours a day and 6 hours off. Try changing the time on during the coolest part of the night and off during the hottest time of day. They will like having a bit of rest and this could allow them to cool down. It would be nice to have a 7 F to 10 F day night temperature drop your at 5 F which is bare minimal.Keep in mind that if you are using a HPS high pressure sodium bulb they put out more infrared light which will cause the leaf temperature to be 8- 10 degrees higher than the room temperature which can stress them out a lot.It is very possible the leaf temperature is close to 90 F. The reason you want lower temperatures and proper humidity levels is it will cause the leaves to open their stoma located under the leaves when the lights are on. The stoma take in Co2 to create photosynthesis activity. If leaf temperatures are too high and the humidity too low the stoma will close which will also slow down how much water and nutrients can be pulled through the roots. This translates into your having "Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit" issues. At those temperatures you would need a very high humidity level which would be bad for the buds and cause mold issues. These heat issues will simply cause smaller loose looking buds and it can burn off terpenes effecting the smell, taste and potency of the bud. You have some very difficult growing conditions to deal with. Some tropical/desert growers take a break and grow during the cooler seasons to maximize their grows. Good luck I will continue checking in on you.

@Saber, I see your in Iran. It would probably be difficult to get these commercial nutrients to your country. You may have to go organic on your next grow and try to make your own "Super soil". But for now if there is a garden store or farmers supply store you may be able to find some fish emulsion fertilizer and or seaweed fertilizer or sometimes it comes mixed together I'm not sure how to say it in Farsi. If it is available use it at 1/4 dose the first few times to see if she greens up it has more nitrogen (N) than phosphorus (P) and potassium(K). Fertilizers usually list N-P-K ratios. The following are ideals. For seedlings 2-1-2 . For vegetative growth (once you see 5 bladed leaves) 4-2-3. Late veg 7-5-5. Early bloom 5-10-7 Mid/late bloom 3-10-10. Late bloom 0-3-3 Last 2 weeks flush. There are a lot of opinions in regards to NPK ratios. You have to find what works best for you. When growing auto flower you need to start them with 1/4 strength nutrients and slowly work your way up to higher doses. Typically during the mid/late point of bloom you will be using about a maximum of 1/2 strength nutrients. If you cant find a variety of npk nutrients you can just go with a balanced fertilizer which would be 5-5-5 or 10-10-10 and try to dilute it down to the range you need. Lastly you can use animal manure like composted chicken,cow,goat, bat guano, etc. you need to be careful because they are usually high in nitrogen and can burn your plants roots. There are recipes on the internet to make your own soils and organic teas (liquid fertilizer) good luck I hope this helps and gives you a few ideas. I wish this site would show where people are from so growers in your area can tell you where to find supplies.
