Quick question. That Maui in back is huge for me. And super bushy. This pheno never stretched much. How much can or should I defoliate. Don't wanna stress her outVery nice and healthy looking!
I use Blumat too, work very well.Hey everyone,
I took a big break from growing and I'm back in the saddle after torturing some autos learning how to work with the blumats (madly underwatered lol).
But I'm pretty happy with this girl! Just a few days since flip. Under a growers choice 680e in a 7 gal smart pot with 1 long and short carrot and an extra drip point. I do a top dress right before I flip, and I'll do one more after stretch. I've got a couple of sour martian hazes that'll join her within the week too, just need em to size up a bit in their new pots.
Blumats are a god send on my back holy crap.
Cheers! Will update in a week or so.

You ain't kidding. I was a chef for over 24 years my back is fucked already)Looking good in here, love blumats and so does my back
Do not put organics through your blumats, will almost surely clog your 3mm drip lineIs anybody here know if you can put let's say organic inputs in the blumat I was hasty and bought a 12 pack and I am in coco well in both all of my grow is coco and I am trying to gather local ingredients for living soil so for now I kinda jumped the gun? Or I can put organic inputs in the water for the blumat all answers are appreciated keep on rocking your grows huys
As for your living soil, tis what I doIs anybody here know if you can put let's say organic inputs in the blumat I was hasty and bought a 12 pack and I am in coco well in both all of my grow is coco and I am trying to gather local ingredients for living soil so for now I kinda jumped the gun?

If you want to add some organic inputs mixed with water you just hand water it in.Then I am fucked I am in day 3 of pre flower week and the lady's started to chog water like a water pump and I am hand watering not reallysmart of me but I'll find something
Thanks man for the great tips though I am not from the USA so using brands you have there is pretty hard to get here but I do need to remake soil for a fabric pot for the next grow to start with the living soil properly and find a good recipeAs for your living soil, tis what I do
Mix promix with recommended rate for container garden from Gaia green all purpose 4-4-4, I also ad some dolomite lime, crushed oyster shell, Insect frass and near meal. You don't have to add the other stuff, I had gnats before so I bought the neem so I use it still as I have a big bag. Dolomite you might want to add a some to help buffer ph but promix already has some in it, I just add extra.
Anyways let that cook for 3-4 weeks and your good for just tap water. I have to top dress all through flower with all purpose and power bloom 2-8-4 starting at minimum 2 weeks into flower. If I have a big plant I might top dress as soon as I flip or even before as bigger plants obviously go through the nutes in the container quicker. Unless you are in a huge bed or container your going to need to top dress in flower or you will end up with deficiencies.
The starter mix- some people use both all purpose and power bloom in the original mix like a 75% all purpose 25% power bloom so you got some in there already for the start of flower. You can experiment with different ratios.
I do the same thing with my top dress.
Start at 100% all purpose start of flower for that stretch and work my way to 100% power bloom by second last to last top dress. I top dress every 2 weeks or whenever I feel they will need it.
This grow I'm doing 50/50 for all top dresses and see how that works this time.
Some of the organic dry nutes take a long time to break up and be available to the plant , so it's good to keep using your soil and just reamend it after each round. Add back 50% of original mix and cook again. I've done this for 3 years I think.
But I think I should lighten up on the nutes when I reamend as I think she's getting a bit hot. Plus I should not have reamended with dolomite lime every time as I think it's giving me slight problems. So now I don't put in dolomite when I reamend.
I'm just using the all purpose and the power bloom.
Hope this helps
Happy growing
Far as I've read keep it RO water only. The inputs can clog up the 8mm tubing for sure. Mold I'm sure would be another issue down the lineIs anybody here know if you can put let's say organic inputs in the blumat I was hasty and bought a 12 pack and I am in coco well in both all of my grow is coco and I am trying to gather local ingredients for living soil so for now I kinda jumped the gun?
