Tupur and Blumats ~ One Prays Organic Grow.

[OnePrays]

Gave my ladies some tea I still had left over now I'm breeding up some more stopped by my local hydro got some more supplies.

Noticed two of my blumats were not dripping so I started blowing and on tubes a little muk of mud was blocking them now they're working just fine.

Noticing some nice roots underneath the hydroton and some starting to just come out it's a nice sight to see.

We are at officially Week 2 of Bloom ladies continue to grow . Will have to raise the light some more.

The tea I gave them for bloom made 5 gallons which lasted me a week. I was giving them 4 part water 1 part tea. I'm still figuring out this tea stuff at times it doesn't make sense to me. I'm a bit confused as to when do I stop giving them tea? Like what week of Bloom or flush etc. so far I have had nothing but luck I think being my first time but now I'm getting a bit lost.

As far as tea I've been giving it to them every refil so far I have not seen any burns.

Anyways enough ranting and help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I only remember the one band I've heard some of their music of. One Republic they have some good songs its like soft rock or pop songs I'm not sure what they qualify under. First time going to a concert and wasn't bad we got 4 tickets that cost about 350 as a gift so we had seats real up close plus we were givin this little clip that allowed us to get a free meal and drink. A friend works within the concerts and she was there and hook us up. Us being my self my gal and her two of her girl friends. Pretty great night. And I'm not familiar with a lot of the new stuff my self I'm not a radio guy I usually just get my playlist that involves a mix of Rap, Classical instrumental music, sometimes Spanish Rock, and Mowtown radio on pandora every now and then.

Forgot to post up pics herearetheladies with tiny little buds the stretch has slowed down a bit they must be wrapping up their growth spurt.
Got some tea in fridge# 2 ready for the ladies after theyfinish their water not just plain water threw in a little molasses and brown sugar. Tea reeks I opened it to check on it man it smells! Can't wait to feed it maybe by tomorrow.

Thanks brother haven't been to constant on updating been a little busy here and there but how are things going on your side of the jungle.

Today is Week 3 of Bloom nd the girls have stopped the stretch. Buds are coming in nice and strong, all girls are healthy and no signs of stress.

After using the blumats for some time I've came to the conclusion that is very similar to hydro/dwc.

I keep the res oxygenated with two air stones. And the feed cycle I've been keeping I think I've got it dialed in now. I was giving them tea every time I refilled for the past month so I was testing feeding cycles.

At first I did 3 feed cycles of tea and then I tried plain RO water with root stimulants or epsom. But I noticed by the next feed the girls were already looking hungry and some deficiencies.

So I tried 4 feeds the fourth I notice she got a bit dark and had some bite burn tips very insignificant but significant enough to me.

Now I got it down to 3 feeds and th fourth has ½ te tea I feed and epsom and now the girls are as happy as can be took a while but I got I down now. Girls absolutely love the blumats. Just added the ½ strength tea today again they take about 3-4 days to drink up the res but lately it's been 3 cause of this damn heat! Anyways pics coming as soon as lights go on.

I also have been keeping the res a little cool every mornin i dump 3 cups of ice in the water to keep it chilled. By the time im home water is still cool so plant don mind this heat of anything they love It.

Blurry as hell but it's 99 was 102 earlier today inside tent

Here are my ladies today at the end of week two and now the beginning of Week 3 of Bloom begins.

doing organics in blumats requires weekly maintenance as the drip lines get clogged about once a week. So I have to check every small line and clear the small blumat end pieces.

I normally check res every other day but good thing I checked! It was empty and girls drank that up quick! Did a refil of just tap water, phd it down to 5.9. And added another half dose of the tea give them it usually take 3 days but damn over night! Girls were hungry and this heat is drying up my tupur way to quick.

Sweet and I can tell they're loving it. They look all nice and perked up. Maybe that's what thy needed. Nice! So how does it work exactly with a timer? How many times does it flood per day and how often are you adding and mixin nutes when you flood?

I'm just starting & flooding once daily the reservoir is on a timer that can be adjusted to feed as many times a day as you want the timer turns on the pump which floods the tub & as long as the pump is on the tub stays flooded until the timer shuts off the pump & at that point the nutes run back down the same line that fed the tub back into the reservoir until next feeding e&f is one of the simplest as well as effective methods of hydro & the method I have the most experience in this is probably gonna go well

nice so if they leave any left over water about how long does it take the ladies to take it back up? does the ph change while its sitting there? if so do you change it or just go with it? Is the water kept oxygenated with air stones or no? sorry for asking so many question, theres just so many methods i would love to try before i say i have one i favor and one that works best of my self.

End of Week 3 and now commencing Week 4.

i was having some heat issues and the girls were getting a little stressed.
Problem was that the exhaust was being cover by piece of film so it was reducing the amount of air being pushed out. Airs temps are back at 70's while canopy is reading 89-94f degrees.

The reservoir is looking low and its time for a heavy feed for these ladies. I starved them a little this week to prepare them for this tea. should pack a punch. Also just did some maintenance on blunts cleaned them up, took out the small tubes and squeezed them to make sure no build up was stuck. Ran water thru them and a little mud here and there collects and comes out.

This has been the most trouble free for me & what I'm going back to I adjust ph.to about 5.7 when I feed it takes 3-4 days before I adjust again this is my first time using tupur it's like the coco blends I've used in the past only better lol I prefer e&f to drippers because it doesn't plug up the 1/2 in.line & pump would pump you're teas pretty good

Hmm interesting . e&f to drippers i will try that for my next run since I'm loving the results I'm getting from organics, if you get a chance take a look at my gals outdoors.

but yeah that tub you have has caught my attention, i love trouble free, one reason why i love these blunts they're trouble free besides the maint using teas. Also I'm looking at SIP Beds I'm thinking of building one as well and attempting that. ehhh too many options that why i love growing, always something new to try. ill be checking out you threads got to catch up a little those girls are looking good compared to last time.

also the link in your signature is broken or something.
