As a grower of ornamental and vegetable plants and myself just started my first grow of bud, I am treating mine much the same as I would my normal plants. The issues from what I know is one of four factors
1) cleanliness; is your area, grow media and water supply as sterile/clean as possible to limit pests and diseases?
2) stability; is your area a stable growing environment? Constant temperature no fluctuations, air movement and replacement in your media and atmosphere, light the right lumen and kelvin, distance and light hour schedule.
3)Medium; what are you growing it in? I just use vermiculite a course and fine mix because it is neutral sterile lets air move freely through and importantly ionic (attracts and holds nutrients), I found with soil mixes you make from the garden you never quite know how clean it is and with decaying organic matter you can get "trace element lock" meaning the breakdown process will prevent the plant accessing the right element even if you apply it causing deficiency issues.
4) water management; keep it fresh, grow room temperature, and regular but not to over or under water (because of what I use the water is running all the time the light is on) use the feed you are happy with, water is in the air too so manage the humidity as well and keep the air moving.
Hopefully things will do better if all this was done. P.s don't over fuss the plants as Eric Clapton sung " Let it grow let it grow let it blossom let it flow"
