HESI grow schedule

Hello, I have a question about this grow schedule. It implies that after 8 weeks your crop should be ready for harvest? However my autoflowers have taken much more time than 8 weeks to grow. More like 12 weeks. So how should I give nutrients to my plants? Also, I don't use clones

Hi VihreeLinja, schedules aren't set in stone and are set out in " stages of growth ", i.e. seedling, vegetative, flowering stage,etc . You just extend the use of stated nutes for that particular stage, and judge how long to feed for, before changing stage. All plants differ, even same seeds, depends on phenotype, strain genetics, method and judgment on peek trichome ripeness.🤔 Trichome colour and appearance of plants are best indicators as to when there ready😋 Basically chop when you decide trichomes are to your taste, so don't worry to much about week numbers, there done when there done ......🙂

extend that last 4-week section.. .then as you near harvest, do the bro-science "harvest flush" that accomplishes and causes nothing in regard to flower development or mineral content of the flower, lol, but if it makes you feel good, go for it. any brand that wants you to use 9 different products is just raping you.

almost all schedules have a repeat week for the reminder before doing the finalized weeks. This i normally the last 2 weeks before it starts tapering off or finishing products are added in. same with veg. its normall the last week or two before it flips to flower on the chart.

Hi just checked your diary and there small for 4 weeks sorry to say that but but keeping it simple.. I hope you havnt stuck to that feed chart exactly to the weeks shown.. You should still be on veg and not giving flower feed yet so this could be the problem of stunded growth due to low nitrogen levels.. That chart is only a ruff example and a prity shit 1 at that.. Good luck.

Use clones for the highest quality, most reproducible meds. Use seeds if you enjoy cultivating plants as a hobby or for non-medical reasons. Autoflowers will take more than 8 weeks on their standard timing, days from seed. Photoperiodic plants are more complex, and 8 weeks of flower is the rule of thumb. It is standard to have a running week, usually week 6, that is to be applied until ready to proceed with the schedule. If you get upset with this, you can make it flower faster in many ways.

Hi, i use Hesi for all my plants at the moments. And like said you can go on with TNT as as you want in Veg-Phase and switch to bloom when it is time for it. And if you give bloom a bit to early you dont get problems with hesi. When i was lazy i have given my bloom mix to plants in mid or late veg-phase, too. And had no toxic overfeeding - so no problem to switch in pre-bloom phase. Hesi is a easy system with many many years of reputation. You can give enzyms & bloom-booster + a drop of vitamins in near each feeding during bloom.

Use the suggested chart for as long as it takes in veg, then follow the bloom suggestions for as long as it takes to mature your plants. Basically ignore the week numbers and just follow the grow and bloom guides. Remember too, don't start too early with the bloom schedule......... pre-flowers is not flowering........ I wait until there are small "budlets" forming before changing to the bloom schedule. Cannabis still needs adequate nitrogen at the beginning of flowering.
