Hi Dr. Since I still have some of the Botanicare nutes on hands, and I have brew the tea you have listed above for the grow/Veg on day to day feeding schedule. the girls look very nice and greenish. Once I finish all the leftover nutes will give the Hesi a test.

Be damn careful ok? The whole idea of heavy AACT or especially the fert teas I gave you above.. Calls for serious reductions in the amount of the synthetic given.
I would skip the fert teas and synthetic combo... You need to be rather advanced to do that and and not crispy your girls!
Try running the HESI alone. Follow the charting exactly, except for.
Drop the roots for 5ml of kelp extract (per gallon of feed) and the SuperVit isn't needed then either (far less expensive to run this way).
Use a simple AACT bio tea once a week. Be prepared to have to reduce your feeding a little. The tea can really make the nutrient availability spike sometimes.
Skip any MOAB (SolPoMag) or shit like that....It was something I just had to try, (because a friend was - stupid reason) and was NOT impressed in the end.
I tried to take a new path to the finish..... It was hard on the plants and didn't return results near potentials..... This is about the point where I went all back to organic and abandoned synthetic experiments that were like Dr. Frankenstein meets Dr. Moreau......
Interesting things were learned but, not followed after a year of creating torture to plants...
I can not say enough on how much you may like the Hesi though! That's truly good stuff and charted well too......
Thanks. Dr.
The Hesi nutes is on the way. I just brewed 5 gallons of this tea and give it tried, and even though is not that expensive for all of those ingr. Once the Hesi on hand will skip all of those tea. Thanks for your comments. Really appreciated.

Hello everyone! I hope someone is reading this and can help me out. As a first time grower I bought hesi starter kit. I am growing autoflower outdoors (sour diesel from fast buds). I ordered too small pots like 1.5gal=5L? and as they were already in jiffy pelets by the time I had to put them in pots with actual soil. In the first one I used lightmix soil for growing and in the second pot I used flora gard soil since I ran out of lightmix and had no other choice at the moment. So my actual question is: 1. When do I start feeding them with hesi? In their chart it stands to start feeding at week 2 but since my autoflowers are growing outdoors I wanted to know if I should still follow the chart or should I start feeding them later? Because I read that outdoor autoflowers do not need as many nutes as indoor ones and that it is recommended to start feeding outdoor autoflowers after 2-3 weeks so now I am not so sure. 2. Should I use nutes with every watering? How in veg phase and how in flower phase? 3. While adding nutes to water (example: 3ml/1L - should I pour the whole litre after I add nutes or just as much as needed since she can get overwatered, right?
Please if someone is reading and is able to help I would highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance and good luck growing everyone! Cheers!
