Damn Desert can't believe i've been missing out on this thread! I've been rocking blumats for a few harvests now and they are the shiiiiittttt. Just now making the transition to coco... What size are your air pots?

[Desert Hydro]

2 gal airpots. they are a pretty sweet combo. blumats, coco and airpots FTW

heres a pic pf a small herijuana bud. still has a week or so left on it left. the strange jackberry kush looks to be almost done. 100% cloudy but only like 1 or 2 amber to be found yet. i say strange because it developed super slow to the point i thought it was gonna be an 11 week sativa and then the next thing i know the buds are done at 7 weeks and never really filled in a whole lot. they are frosting up pretty good and all the hairs are almost all red

[St3ve]

awesome.

So, did you say you picked up the 50 pack of the Blumats? Does it come with everything like with the deck kits? As in.. hose and what not.

[Desert Hydro]

no i bought two 12 packs a few months apart. a few guys on this thread have bought the 50 packs though. im not sure what they come with. ive wondered that myself. im helping a buddy set his up in a few weeks. he's tired of climbing under huge plants in a scrog to fill 5 gal DWC's lol

[Desert Hydro]

my only female jackberry kush plant seems to be a bit of a dud lol. small buds that are decently resinous but there seems to almost NO smell on first inspection. when i really rough em up there is a disgusting rotten meat and garlic smell that is extremely captivating lol. i dont think im gonna keep her around but we will see. she is finished right at 7 weeks and i will begin the flush tonight for maybe a week then chop time for her. the herijuana will follow about a week behind and then the rest shortly after. im gonna be busy the next 2 weeks

hey any advice on dialing the blumats in?

Just got my first pack and was wondering what the best method for dialing them in is

[Desert Hydro]

hand water the shit out of your pots, wait 24 hours or so until the moisture in the coco looks perfect then install the blumat and dial it in til you get a clinging droplet. should only drip like every 10 seconds or so. any more than that and you risk overflow. use saucers under your plants individually so you can see which ones are over watering if any. u dont want any runoff. just constantly moist coco at the perfect moisture content

Fucking epic thread. Thanks DH! A few questions if I may...

1. I've got eight 7-gallon air pots in a 4x4 space. What would your recommended number of blumats be? The pots are lined up in two rows of 4 pots in each row.

2. How high would you recommend that the reservoir be at? I have a shelf that's about 10 inches above the top of the pots. Is that enough height? I can easily adjust my shelf to go higher.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
