Blumats are larger than Blumats jrs and work better for sensing the water levels of the pots etc.

I think two would work fine evenly spaced with the drippers on the opposite end of each other. I believe someone has stated that one will work fine all the way up to a 5 gallon pot as long as it isn't a smart pot or the equivalent.
Just have to get em dialed in.

I'm not a Blumat expert (yet) but I believe the juniors have the water/nutes actually going through the ceramic carrot part, whereas the regular Blumats have an actual drip line, and the ceramic carrot part is simply the moisture sensor.

I ordered my Blumats from Sustainable village, call them though, as their website is jacked.

I got my Blumat order today!!!

100 blumat valves, a length of 8mm hose, and a length of the drip line.

I didn't realize how they join in-line with the 8mm hose. It is going to be quite a job to set up the whole room (6 lights with between 9 and 16 per light).

I think I need to get a couple more items, a valve so I can shut the flow while switching lines between 2 resevoirs, and some kind of filter so if any solids develop in the resevoir they don't make their way into the hose or drip lines.

good luck puff. you WILL love them.....or you can sell them to me haha. you wont be disappointed once you get them all set up and running right. with auto top offs and all the DIY stuff you can leave for weeks when they are dialed in.

here are some new pics. the close up is of the herijuana. the pic really doesnt do it justice on the frostiness. in person they look like they way more frosty. its gonna be some scary potent shit

joedogsong · 05-22-2012, 07:34 AM

Got mine set up and now dialing them in. Need to order more now.
I made a few alterations and still working on a few more.
I ran a 3/8th" line from 50 gallon drum, then the 8mm to 3mm. Some places just ran the 3mm from the main 3/8"

I've had a few of the cones go dry and won't have it dialed in for a few days. Personally I'd never do this inside with out being prepared for catastrophic results. I'm in a green house for the first time and it sure is fun not worrying about being messy. I've been inside the house for years where every move is in consideration of not making a mess.

Coco, Blumats, Sour Bubble in my new solar room.

I got blumat maxi's coming and i wanted to toss 'em in 3 gallon fabric pots 8" diameter 9" deep. I couldn't find much info on this sort of setup. I wanted to put a soaker on the outlet. Anybody have an opinion on this ?

joedogsong · 05-26-2012, 12:19 AM

Not quite sure what you mean by "I wanted to put a soaker on the outlet.". But, the Bluemat Maxi's are 9 inches long I've got 5 of the going along with 12 regulars in above pictures. The maxi's will work for you but shouldn't be pushed all the way down. The clay cone senses the moisture level and releases water based on that reading.
The regular's claim to water a 10" diameter.
