First off let me start off by saying this is obviously my own opinion and experiences with these various products, if others have different methods than share them but I am not writing this to start any arguments, just a review of my experiences, good and bad.
Ok now to start off I have been using the hesi line for over a year with fairly positive results. The products I am using or were using are : Bloom, Super vit, root complex, TNT, Phosphorus plus. (didnt buy the power zyme, snake oil is what I say)
Along with the Hesi I also use: Bud candy, Magi-cal, General hydro PH up and down. I will review those the same as hesi.
I was skeptcial of this whole line from the start but the partner I have now had been using it with ok results, so we set up a 2000w grow in our new house and through out this spiel I will try to accompany pictures to coincide with what I'm talking about. Strains are Bubba Kush, and Church. Every strain is different so you will have to figure out what works best for you but I can tell you that with minimal nutes and veg time I can pull 1.75 dry off one light and the ladies are healthy and happy. If i vegged longer I could get more but running a perpetual and sometimes being lazy leads to throwing little gals in and making them perform. (and little means like a week veg out of cloner lol, not smart but gotta do what you gotta do)
PH-6-6.5 with Ro water ( hydrologic stealth RO 100, which I can review and show my setup if you would like me to, say something and I can put pics up)
Using Happy frog soil with some other various additives.
First lets start with Bloom: Bloom is a nice product but it should come with some warnings and labels, especially for the newbie grower just getting started. I always go by the motto less is more and with these products your plants will thank you a million times over. For the first crop or two I devised a system labeling a 60 day cycle with certain percentages of what I would use and it ended up with me using around 75% to full strength (hesi bloom is 20ml per gal for full) by the end of the 60 days excluding flush of course. This was a bad idea and became quite apparent that I was getting nice size buds and excellent smoke, but the plants were terrible looking by the end of the road, more than normal yellowing. The bubba liked the nutes more than the church but the church would burn very easily which i found out a bit later. So i started adjusting and basically started by giving 12.5 percent at the start and not really going past 25 percent by the end and they are looking awesome. I also supplement the plants with some Root throughout flowering along with TNT and its typically in small amounts (2ml per gal) but keeps the plants looking fresh and happy. It has been said hundreds of times to run nitrogen based foods into flowering and hesi even says it on their little card they give you but you will see in pictures that my ladies love it throughout the whole cycle.
TNT: This is a excellent plant food and my little gals really like it (when I actually give them more than a week or two for veg), I'll usually mix up 1-2 mls per gal of TNT and root and give to to my ladies that are in cups and they shoot up like rockets, I have a few pics of some I can put up. It is also great for mothers because for instance I have a mother around 1.5 years old and she gets sad and shitty sometimes and with a little dose of TNT and ROOT, she pops rite back with some excellent clones, just remember less is more and to really read your strains, its a shame when people use the label recommendations and end up burning there plants to death which isn't hard with nutrients like this. If somebody uses more and wants to comment on strains vs their experience that would be nice.
Phosphorus PLUS: To be honest, I don't have much to say other than I use right around 20% the last 4 weeks and the plants never seem to show any phos deficiency. I understand to a certain degree that the plants start needing more phos late in flower and I won't pretend to know every scientific detail but I have by accident more or less not put it in but maybe once through a whole crop and not noticed anything different so I am not sold on it and do not usually worry about it, like I do my other nutes. I'm not saying i don't put it in if its sitting there but I have two rooms and if it's in the other room, i dont worry about it and just leave it out. Not very helpful I know but if anyone wants more on the dosages I use message me .
Super Vit: What can I say lol, what a expensive load of crap, I used to use it all the time and even would put a drop in a gal and spray the clones, in my opinion it is a huge waste of money. 15 bucks for a tiny vial, snake oil is what I say but if you have other experiences by all means speak up.
Root complex: Well I already touched a bit on this earlier but it is a great boost to plants looking a bit sad, just using a little for mothers and small vegging plants really makes a difference, just don't over do it. During flowering it works great to adjust the plants from flouros to HID (2 1000w HPS), I don't usually let them adjust to the light and just throw them in and never have any troubles. I definitely stand by TNT and Root the most out of all their products.
Bud Candy: This stuff seems to work great and makes the ladies glisten with sticky trichomes , I will try to capture close ups of some buds that will be done this next week, there frosty. But before anyone starts arguing, I know strains and conditions are majority of the reason for your quality but my conditions are ideal and this stuff definitely adds a nice pop to the buds. I use about 1ml per liter, which 2ml per liter is full strength. This stuff in my case is ok to use up to full strength, my plants didn't mind it when I did, but I opted to use less and still achieved excellent results, I'll explain a bit more below.
Magi-cal: Well obviously anyone who uses RO water will need a supplement, or should use one atleast, I chose Magi-cal as a recommendation from a friend and it has seemed to work out quite well, although beware when using a mg-cal supplement and bud candy because bud candy is also mg sulfate. Not to scare anybody but like I said above I use about 1ml of bud per liter and use about 50% of magis recommended full strength which is 5ml per gal, so 2.5ml per gal of magi and 1ml per liter of bud, or 4ml per gal of bud for people who aren't savvy with numbers.
Overall I have been able to get it dialed in and make it work for me, I would like to hear from others using Hesi and see some pics if possible, I will have pics up in the next few days, crop will be coming down soon so i can also post some post cut pics.
peace,
