Want to help me get the most out of this Applejack that seems to hate life?
Please everyone, join in and let me know what you think! I have had this plant for almost a year now. It is Applejack from a local dispensary. Spindly, I was told by someone here, due to Jack Herer influences. The smoke is fantastic and if I could dial it in, I might be able to get more out of it.

How long has this problem been going on?
8 Months
What STRAIN are you growing?
Applejack
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?)
Clone.
What is the age of your plants?
Probably over a year.
How long have they been in the soil mixture they are in now?
Organics soil, 50% perlite. No other amendments.
Were they in the same mixture when they were seedlings/smaller plant? If not, what mixture were they in before?
Same mixture.
How Tall are the plants?
1.75 ft.
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
The particular ones in the photos are in flower.
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc)

7.5liter
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?)
Root Organics + half perlite.
What brand Nutrient's are you using?
BC Recipe For Success. Inthe last few months I have backed off to a fraction of half the dosage on the bottle. I have tried mag/cal supps, backing off on mag/cal, also backing off to nothing on ferts altogether for a little while, but the plant reacted badly as well, showing signs of severe deficiency after only 3 weeks.
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful*
BC Recipe for Success, per guidelines. Says 3tspns, normally I use half (1.5tspn) when I feed. With this Applejack, I have backed off to one half of one teaspoon when I feed, along with Bioweed.

Unsure how to answer this..
