Got the Blumats hooked up finally. 😁Decided to add a little aloe water to the res. Not gonna try it with any hard nutes even tho I decided to get the filter. 16 plants hooked up to 100 gal res. So this should be a fairly straightforward run. Def would recommend getting the aftermarket silicon hoses. Makes life so much easier.
Lovin' the Blumats 💞💞💞...still dialin em in but yea I love em. Added 2 aloe vera leaves and 2 oz. Aloe powder to the res to give all the girls a couple weeks of a weak aloe drip. The filter is doin it's job so far keeping the system clear 🤞.
They stretching like crazy. I'm gonna leave the bottom trellis off so that it's easier to get in and out to adjust the blumats.
Hand watered in about 6 oz of bokashi tea diluted in a gal of water. Split it evenly thru out the 16 pots.
No more foliar spraying to be done so I'm actually kinda bored this run. Not much for me to do...😁😁😁...got nematodes otw and my bloom booster that I will use as a top dress. 24 pounds of Dr. Earth flower power or maybe it's flower girl🤷. Whatever.
So far so good...almost too good it's making me nervous lol.
Had to temporarily turn off the blumats but it's def only temp. Didn't put the bottom trellis in. Luckily wanted easy access jic there was a blumat problem, thank god. 🙏
Started the final trim. Will gradually work thru the week and finish up right before week 4. Decided to do a tea since I had the blumats disconnected. Compost, chicken shit, little bit of the leftover amended dirt that I had leftover from the last transplant, mycochum, recharge, and fermented fruit juice (made with labs, raspberries, mulberries, dandelions, and one banana peel). They look to have liked it so 👍. Will have the blumats with it's aloe water back on by the end of the week so pry won't do anymore teas after this.
Plan on doin a top dress of Dr . Earth power flower 3-9-4 at the end of week 5 then water only til the end😁.
The smell came quick and I'm just getting to the fun part.🤞🤞🤞
Startn to get stinky😁 and the buds are startn to fill out.
Gave em their last trim last night. Still trying to get the blumats dialed in but I'm in love with them regardless.💕. Hand watered in sum bokashi juice just because I had it, and will be giving the last top feeding one-day this week. Using Dr. Earth flower girl and bokashi flakes for this one. Added another leaf worth of aloe to the Rez, which has needed to be topped off 3 times now. They startn to hit that thirsty stage and take in alot more.... everything is goin smooth and is basically on autopilot 🤞🙏🤞
Actually took a min to take decent pics lol... everything goin smooth. Blumats doin their job. Kinda boring actually. I've hand watered twice over the top of blumats just cause I've had nothin else to do. The pH of the Rez has been rising the last few days for sum reason. Tried using pH down instead of citic acid jic but still got upward drift. O well I'll keep adjusting it every couple days no big deal.
Buds stacking and getting frosty so I'm happy.
Stack and stank time...been a good, boring run. pH on the res still drifts up on occasion but nothing serious.
Blackberry moonrocks has the biggest buds. They all smell good but there's something about that deep blueberry smell of the gorilla Blue that does it for me...the purple punch has a unique growth pattern in veg. Nothing bad but u can pick that strain out from a distance. Not getting the purples from the strains that showed last time.🤷. We will see if that changes or not.
I can only complain about the blumats for 1 reason. The amount of soil that they keep moist. The problem can be fixed by getting some o the distributors. My fault. I top water here and there to help it out.
Regretting not putting that trellis up lol. All good I was too paranoid about adjusting the blumats. Gotta get sum distributors then I'd b cool without hovering over the blumats. I love these things just need to improve the amount of wet soil that it keeps moist. Four Or 5 drippers per pot should do it. Everything looks and smells great but like I said I'm regretting not putting up that trellis...can't wait to chop. I'm like a kid at Xmas😁. Time slowed way down now...
Lookin good, smelling good. Everything should be done by next week😁.. the 2 blackberry moonrocks are the slackers 🤞 they finish with the rest...started to drop the night temps a degree every night til Wednesday next week. I'm down to 68 ATM. I think this batch is better than the last one...debating if I'll do one more run in the 10x10 or if I should strip it and get ready for the move into the 24x27. The roof of the garage gets done in the next 2 weeks😁😁😁.
This will pry be my last update before chop. The blackberry moonrocks and gelato are both not quite ready yet. Trying to be patient 😞. Everything looks good tho. Smells good too. Really regretting not putting up that trellis up lol. Been tying branches up but it's getting bad lol. Won't happen again. I think I will do one more run in this 10x10 before I turn it into the dedicated drying room. Will be moving into the 27x24 asap.
@WolverineGreens, Thank you sir. I think mammoth p is alright. I used to add it once a week with my feed but now I use it in my weekly teas. A little goes a long way, I was dumb and bought a bigger bottle thinking I could save a little bit of cash but the bottle will expire before I will be half way through.
