Troph Blumat Thread

Turns out the main the Austrian manufacturer also has an adapter:



Theirs is nicer (made out of metal), but more expensive.

Anyway, being in Colorado where we (supposedly) just legalized kush (pending approval by the feds ?), and where we're ridden with drought -- I'm a big fan of of these little drippers. Very elegant solution to multiple problems, imo.

Both are about the same. The tables have used about 2 times the amount of water per 1000w. The Bulmuts have been set so the pots are about 3/4 of full wetness. Which means there has not been any runoff as of yet. Still humming along. :poolparty

Cheeseus, how often ru feeding these ladies in veg and in flowering and at what ppm or ec? Also, how much coco to hyrdroton ru running in the smart pots? Do u water till u get runoff?

Blumats are great I did two autoflower runs with them with great results. Used 5G air pots two carrots each pot without distribution drippers. There's a new method called cap dialing which makes adjusting them even easier than before. I use a big trash can as reservoir which is able to run 4 plants around a week. The only problem I got was overwatering and there's a trick here if you try to correct overwatering by tightening it more you probably end up with air inside carrots which is the last thing you want. The solution to this is adjusting the distance of dripping point from the carrot itself. If you shorten the distance blumats turn off quicker without risking the sensor stay too dry too long and develop air pockets inside. There s always solution to underwatering but fixing overwatering is where people make the most mistake. Turning the knob on top of the carrot is not the only way to adjust the amount of water that comes from the drip line instead it needs to stay in some certain area which is hanging drip and two triangles. If you turn your knob out of this area you will have problems. Once your carrot is set right in between that area and you still want to adjust it simply play with the dripping point distance to the carrot. This way you can even use it with very small seedlings without overwatering them.
These plants grown with blumats. Trophs adjusted just once.
