The tips are a bit scorchy looking.
How tall is the plant?
You may be due for both a soil flush and a larger home for the plant.

Just plain peat with no lime? The soil pH will tend to drift towards the natural pH of peat, which is in the 4.5-5.5 range... too low even for a soilless mix. Even if you aren't overferting, you will still need to do a proper flush to bump it back up into the correct range.

Um you'll have to figure out the conversion but a foot of main stem per gallon of soil is a good rule to follow for pot size.

Oh I thought I saw 'peat' listed in your form up there. So you do have lime, good.
Lots of chicken dook for a soil you'll be flowering in though. You want to be able to deprive the plant of N later.

Soil nutrient concentration
N: 100 milligramme per litre
P: 80 milligramme per litre
K: 400 milligramme per litre

You recommend flushing?
 
Micronutrient problem

Micronutrient problem

Shultz plant food 10-15-10 does not have all the micronutrients. Check your label for iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum.

Happy growing icmag! :D
