Automatic nutrient only soil feeder

[icdog]

Anyone know of something like this that you can put a certain amount of nutrients in a day and it will drip or release into the soil?
I found some that are pre mixed but I prefer to use my own nutes.

I need this because I am running blumats and if I put certain nutes in the res the lines will clog. Hopefully I can get around that with a separate nute provider into the soil.

Any ideas?

Nobody? I've found some drip feeders but they are pre filled with food and possibly a water spike might work.

No suggestions?

Maybe you could put a time released nute like osmocote in the dirt, or give ROLS a try.

We discussed additional nutrients in the Blumat thread. What I took away from it was using a higher concentration and hand water it in. Or use amended soil and water only!

I've read those as well. A higher concentration hand watered wouldn't be automatic while a small water spike or dripper thing would be. The blumat makes it automatic and I'm trying to keep it that way.

Try different nutes . GH flora works great in blumats ... probably the cleanest rez i've had besides the V&B i'm using now .

I have run 3 different nutrient lines through my blumats. In order from cleanest to dirtiest they are: Canna Coco A+B, CNS17 and Pure Blend Pro.

All of them leave some amount of sediment in the lines, but I've been able to handle all 3 of them by just cleaning the drip lines out after every run. I could probably bump that to 2 or 3 with the Canna nutrients, but why push my luck when it only takes 30 minutes to do and a lot is riding on them being clean.
