i just removed my blumat classics, they saved my ass i let the tangie go for 2 weeks without me touching anything, i'm waiting on the magical beautiful amazing blumat SURFACE for capillary watering, something i always wanted to try, that pretty much means it waters from the bottom up, it looks like magic hopefully it fucking works
just germinated the seeds
the bigger plant is the Tangie Matic from fastbuds, no nutes yet, testing FFOF for the first time, there's rocks and wood chips in this soil what the fuck
i hooked up one blumat per 2x4 trays with drippers spread around for more even water distribution, at the bottom of the tray there is a layer of capillary mat, the blumat sensor/water gauge (green and clay part) is directly on the capillary mat, the black plastic on top is perforated to let water thru, and it's there to stop light from reaching the mat to prevent algae from growing
what is really cool is that the water is coming from the bottom of the pot, the roots supposedly suck as much moisture as they need, never too much, never not enough, and thats when the blumat scensor is dialed in propelly, it's suposed to take a couple days
also no pump, no electric electronic nothing, it's all gravity and magic i guess
it's freshly installed and everything is working as it should so far
the Surcafe Blumat are keeping the bottom 2/3 of my pots what seems like perfectly moist, not wet not dry. All i have to do is check the reservoir pH and add a little pH down everyday, because it goes up on it's own
i have not done SHIT on this grow,some lst and just refill the humidifier and blumat reservoir with phed tap water
NOTICE THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH COMPARED TO LAST WEEK
no nutrients yet, just tap water in fox farm ocean forest
all i have to do is refill the water tank every few days
growing twice as fast as any other of my grows, no wet dry cycles, always moist with VPD in check
LST before the bud fattening stage, not much to update, beautiful green leaves fast growth, early flower stretch on a couple plants, others are just starting to show pistils
Привет, друг! 👋😇
Растение тебе демонстрирует дефицит фосфора - красная ножка листвы, красный налёт на стебле, появление желтых и вскоре коричневых пятен на листве! - Всё это дефицит фосфора!
Из твоего дневника не ясно какие удобрения ты применяешь, но ясно одно - у тебя неверный ph почвы!
Первым делом, установи необходимый для цветения ph. В почве - 6,3ph 😇👌
Делай полив с меньшим внесением азота и с большим внесение фосфора. Если ты используешь какие-то популярные или распространенные удобрения, то сделай соотношение Grow:Bloom 1:3, т.е. на 1 ml/l добавки Grow приходится 3 ml/l добавки Bloom! Вместо Grow можно использовать добавку Micro! 😇👌
Удачи, братан! 😇👍
all the pots have the soil ph at 6.2 except one at 5.8 and it's showing... yellow leaves, slow growth. only one plant tho and it's going to be a easy fix
everything else it beautiful! i fed them a fertilizer tea at 1/4 strength. To make the tea i let sit a sock full of of Dr Earth dry amendments mixed together 50/50 (see pictures) for 24 hours in water
this stuff is pretty strong it gave me some burned tips at 1/4 strength so be carefull
I have bugs! i don't know what they are, but they are quick and jumpy. Neem oil did not slow 'em down at all. I'm in organic living soil so i'm not sure if bleach or peroxide treatment is an option. This is a video of the bottom of the saucer
Jumping bugs, they are called springtails. They thrive in moist soil, meaning you are over watering. Fortunately they are harmless for your plant. If you want to get rid of them, keep the soil on the dry side. Anyway, I've had them a couple of time with no harmful effect to the plants.
well all these plants are pretty skimpy, i realized after harvest that the roots are all in the bottom 1/4 of the pot, so they could never use all the nutrients in the soil, so the bottom watering didn't work very good
i will try the "blumat troph" for my next grow, same concept but it's top watering
all the burned leaves happened overnight when the temp. was 95f and the humidity dropped very low so it pretty much killed all the leaves, so i harvested kind of early because of that mistake
Thanks to those who invented the blumat 🙏🙏
I also left the plants alone for two weeks last year when I was traveling across the world
When I came back they were better than before 🌱🌳😉
Happy growing ✌️
@Psilocubensis, Humidity is at about 75% and temperature 85f, perfectly in the VPD range for fast growing, might sound crazy but this is my first grow with no bugs or mold
@@Dodgers, Great!!! Thanks for the complete answer ! I downloaded the site you sent me, and i'll sure save it in mind.
I've searched for many ways to make auto wicking, auto watering, etc. This one is simple and great.
How about pests or humidity inside the grow room?
@Psilocubensis, Yes, i'm going to try to make it short and simple, i never water de pots myself, the fabric pots are on a wet fabric mat.
The whole watering of the plant happens here, the roots suck the water up to the plant, through the fabric pot, from the wet mat. The mat is kept wet by tubes dripping water onto the mat and the water disperses across the whole mat evenly, from a reservoir.
The amount of "wetness" of the mat is controlled by a censor that shuts off the water when the mat is very wet, and turn the water flow back on once the mat is dry, and that is easily adjustable
And remember one thing, setting this up is easy and CHEAP. The ultimate lazy grower shortcut for absolutely explosive growth with no work

Do you not see any issue with watering from below? i could see if your are just using plain water, but once you introduce food to them you are going to have issues. Would you eat your dinner through your asshole?😬 your plant is just going to sit in its own waste than drink all the discarded shit right back up. Salts and such.
@jmo33, i am using plain water, my soil ph is still at 6.3, so far so good! when i was watering normally to run off, the water would sucks back in, no issues there, if the plants get hungry i will feed with a fertilizer tea, from the top not the bottom, hopefully thats also going to work thanks for your input!
@jmo33, the blumat system allows for a pretty good wet/dry cycle, its not sitting in water, the mats has to dry out for the scensor to start dripping water again
