I'm gonna disagree. Dripper tape is the shiznit. Blumats are all passive so as long as you can keep your res full you're golden. My 55g auto tops off so it's never really below 53 or 54 gallons. Filtered water source on a float switch for the win. The challenge with Blumats it the upfront cost for carrots, but again, tape can solve a lot of the issues distribution drippers cannot.
I'd be worried about what happens when a blumat malfunctions and the valve stays open but your res never runs out with a setup like that.

quick question;
when reveging a plant after harvest is it best to leave in its original container or would I shock the shit out it if I cut the rootball down and repotted it in a smaller pot before throwing it back into veg?.
I've never had to reveg a plant after harvest (just clones taken in flower) but I lost the cuttings and this particular one is no longer available. These are just about ready for harvest and I can already tell I've got a couple of stand out keepers. (3Chems)


And yeah, this isn't the "Top Dawg" thread but it has way more activity from some of my favorite growers ;-)

I usually up-pot if i'm going to reveg for a mother-plant.
I'm sure it would shock it removing roots + putting in a smaller container, although it could pull thru.

That's my line of thinking too but my veg room is packed. I'm brainstorming trying to find a way to save these without it being too much of a pain in ass. I know I'm looking at a few weeks before I can grab some viable cuttings.

They don’t need very much light .
This has been my biggest problem with revegging . I give them to much.
I’d just stick it somewhere out of the way with some small CFLs to give it 24hrs of light . This could buy you sometime to make room.

Really? Hmmm.
I assumed I needed to throw it right back under the CMH to coax new growth but lower light levels make perfect sense since re-vegging can be a delicate timely process.

I've seen quite a few ole timers out in OR trim up a rootball, trim the plant down to almost bonsai lookin, put under an easy light and don't feed much. First time I seen it, I jumped up, hollarin, etc, they just laughed at me. Said it was how they keep their moms in smaller spaces. I finally got the nerve to try it and although I went yrs not even hardly trying to touch the rootball, after observing that, I ain't so shy of em anymore. I'll trim a rootbound half gallon pot plant just a little never hitting that main vein, and repot, and most times it takes right off after a day or two. They claimed when they wanted shoots off the moms, they'd feed it a lil more and give a lil more light. Take their cuttings and go on.

Trimming roots can be a very good thing , but doing it after the shock of 90% or more of the growth been removed, from harvesting, I wouldn’t recommend it .
It’s to much shock at once, on a mother that you are not cutting all the stock off is different, then trying to get plant to revegg

Many thnx been going for a couple weeks now. Although my circumstances may be different. I forgot to take cuts and ended of taking them while it was in early stages of flowering to preserve the strain.
What you did was “MonsterCropping”
I’ve played with this a bit. You will get unreal branching once it takes off, but the slow growth at the start isn’t worth it in the long run.
I will be farther ahead if I clone normally and train for lots of heads vs doing MC .
The MCs do make for a good start at a Mom , but a lot of the branching should be cut away before going back to flowering if not intended for a Mom.
They just make to many suckers .

I just traded for sum of these. What kinda smell and taste did u get and were they short or tall and lanky
Did you mean the 3Chems? You didn't quote anyone so not sure if this was a ? for me or not, but the 3Chems is all gas and skunk. One has a slight lemony thing going on at the very end. Its not really "lanky" like an OG but the branches needed some support once the buds filled in. I kept the 2 best males and just did an open pollination outside with a few keepers I've been running for awhile. I think its going to pair really nice with Apollo 11 F4, Goji OG, LVTK, TNT, and Copper Chem...though I'm not sure what to expect from the Copper Chem pairing due to the serious inbreeding from all the Chemdogs together.

I'm pretty stoned lol so I guess I forgot to tag the guy or gal. I was referring to the jetfuelxstardawg
