I think I did allow a leak. I need to tape the light on my fan. I was warned but damn you would think the moon throws more lumens.I like using the tomato cages so I can take individual plants out to work on them. Easy to bend branches out around the rings for a little lst, and even out the canopy this way.
Hey Organix, have you checked for light leaks?
I let bigger chunks go here and there. I don't have an issue. My sizes vary from dust to 3/4 but I add a little extra to make up for it. I also mix biochar to help.That looks like alot of larger (3/4) rock in that mix?I just brought in about 9 cu ft of a combo of pumice(70%)and 3/8" black lava rock in preparation of a new batch of soil.I'm lucky and I get it all free as my neighbor delivers to high end nurseries etc so it's one thing I don't pay for.
I'm interested in how you set up Blumats,how many per bed,placement,reservoir setup etc.Have you ever had a runaway?I've seen whole rooms flooded before but pretty sure it was user error.Gotta love the Blumats though.
Nice. Yeah i would love to live on some open land. I'm in the city. It's where my work is.Pumice is cheap when you buy it by the truckload!
I get everything in bulk if possible,I have a big dump trailer I use for picking up what I need,just got a dump trailer load of manure from an organic dairy for free that I'll use in my worm trenches after it Cooks down(takes about a year).Also got a gardener who drops me off all his leaves now instead of taking them to the dump,I'm lucky to have a big property to set up multiple cold compost bins.
Yeah and the funny thing is a lot of guys backed off the teas. A lot of the old school mofos I talk to prefer top dress now. I think the KISS got too complicated so they resimplified it.I would not say I run no till,kind of an odd term to use for what we do anyways.Id say I'm just an old soil grower.When I started doing this decades ago we grew in what we had or made,could not go to a hydro store and get whatever you wanted.Now it's easy,I use my castings and compost,aeration I get from my neighbor(he hauls 30 tons at a time,daily!)and I call BAS for the soil kits because I'm lazy,lol.
I'm mixing up a 3.8+2.2 kit together this evening when it cools down.What amazes me is all the info available out there now,teas,topdresesses etc etc,I can hardly keep up.Organic soil is like the thing to do nowadays,funny how things come back around to where they started.K.I.S.S. I guess.
Yo mang, I've got a q for you about your Blu mats. What do you use for a reservoir?Yeah and the funny thing is a lot of guys backed off the teas. A lot of the old school mofos I talk to prefer top dress now. I think the KISS got too complicated so they resimplified it.
I bought the pressure reducer hose connection adapter. I installed a hose connection in my utility room.Yo mang, I've got a q for you about your Blu mats. What do you use for a reservoir?
@CallmeTex I wanted to let you know that if you go with the reservoir make sure it's as high as you can get it. A 13g tote at the least. As the res gets low the pressure drops obviously because of loss of head pressure.
When my res would get about half empty it would have trouble feeding the farthest irrigators and it varies depending on the res level. Either go with an autofill in the res or straight pipe it.
I've had problems with float valves sticking and overflowed res when I did reef tanks.
@Freshone got me thinking I should install an autostop with a water sensor puck. They make them for washing machines it would go right in line with the hose connection to the blumat adapter.
1 regular tropf. I run 3 maxi in my big bed.Grood to know. How many bluemats would your run per 10 gallon container?
Thanks man, seems like a very nice system for running water only. Thinking I can hook this up directly to my water filter.1 regular tropf. I run 3 maxi in my big bed.
