Bro.....Not giving you an opinion........I`m stating fact.....and as far as Blumats are concerned , lower ppm`s across the board are recommended since the plants are fed constantly... but....shit runs downhill.......ask any plumber....Well there's some respectable people giving their opinions which differ from mine so I'm not going to pick a fight. With all due respect I simply disagree.
I don't see any difference in feeding from the top and then letting the plants bottom feed sucking back up all the juices that came out, or just letting them suck up the juices from the bottom to begin with. Any salts that are in the runoff are going to get reabsorbed into the meduim as the plant drinks, which should cause this toxic salt buildup, but I have yet to see it in my garden.
With regards to blumats, most people I've seen using them in coco do so without runoff, so the salts should in theory accumulate and cause mayhem to the plants, but miraculously this is not the case, even in setups I've seen where drip clean is not being used.
I don't know... it's just my opinion. To each their own.
Im wanting to do a bottom feed grow so i dont have to move my plants when i water
I have some smart pots that i want to use for it
Can i fill my smart pots up with coco and bottom feed with it ? Like have my smart pot sitting in a saucer and let it leach up when i water ?
Also can i use just coco instead of mixing it with perlight since its gonna be leaching up instead of draining out ?
Thanks in advance fellas

Damn 800? Sheesh, some of my girls would cringe at a ppm that low! lol
where's this recipe at?
I use Heads coco recipe so my ppm's are only around 650.
