Blumats defeat the purpose of hempy.
The reason I dont think this is good is because watering from the top is ideal. Now if you were to COVER the top of the bucket with plastic, then you just have an earthbox modded out with a hempy style. Then you just water down the tube. This is easy to automate with with a float valve and a control bucket. But this leaves water in the res constantly wich could be bad.
Sorry for the rant, but bluemats are a waste if you want hempy style. But Blumats themselves are awesome from what Iread.
Is anyone runnin Hempys with the blumats? If so.....how does it sense the moisture of the hempy rez? Are the blumats gravity fed... so I need to keep the rez elevated?
What? I hope you mean Perlite.hempy with the rez full of coco.

I have run side by sides with lava in the rez and perlite in the & straight coco in the rez. Coco all the way.
I really hate cleaning crap away from the coco at harvest time to reuse the buckets.
It is indeed a pain the arse. How big are your vegging plants when you put them into the hempy buckets and how often do you water?
No...I mean coco. Not amended with anything either. If your plants are thriving....the plants drink up the rez pretty quick. It's a total myth that you can't fill your Hempy from top to bottom with coco. I have run side by sides with lava in the rez and perlite in the & straight coco in the rez. Coco all the way.

last week i was ready to cuss lowman for telling me this but i waited and this week i will back him up 100%,coco all the way....snip...it took them about a week to get right but they are now thriving as good as my coco hempys did with silica stone in the res. i also believe that this will space out my watering schedule by an extra day hopefully.thank you lowman

Its been about a week now & these are working better in my coco hempys than they did in my promix buckets .just hooked up mine in 2 hempys i have in flower now . they've only been in 2 days so i'm still trying to get them dialed in . will let ya know how it turns out .
I'm new to hempys myself and I also have experienced growth more vigorous than i'd expected.plants keep on streching,
LST in flowerday 19 , aint the best idea ?
but don't know what to do if they keep on streching
someone did some LST in this stage of flowering ?

Hello all, after some research I havent come to a conclusion. For coco hempys is it better to use coco specific nutrients or hydro nutes? thanks a lot
Thanks Lowman...
I beleive I wont have problems with Cal/Mag.. my tap water is hard as a rock(.66 EC). Actually I gonna start using a Ozone Generator to bubble my water to get rid of chloramines and other contaminants.
What about some additives? Do you use any urself? I am planning to try Hygrozyme and maybe some late flower booster for a kick, lets see
Cheers
