Thanks man! Ya I'm pretty happy with this run, I picked the 'a team' genetics for this one. Blumats really make the diff keeping things perfectly watered. Roots are massive! Should be pulling sometime around the 2nd week of March.That looks like its gonna be some good stuff right there!

Ive been looking into blumats myself. Im pretty tired of watering by hand. Takes quite the toll on my back.

Ya that was one of the reasons I got them. Was a chore watering and would take me a long time. This is nice with set it and forget it. You still need to watch them and make sure they aren't clogging but a quick look each day and it's good.

Looks like your enjoying the blumats
Nothing like popping your head in every day and seeing things growing like crazy.

Wow thanks to @Inkbird my mind is at ease. Just working away when I heard my timer flip on the flower tent. Wtf? Not supposed to turn on till 6pm.....it's 2. Knob loosened somehow and moved into 2oclock then got caught somehow and flipped the timer. I had no idea how long this was going on for and started to panic...but wait! My inkbird temp and humidity Bluetooth is in there! I can go back and look at my temps what day and time the temps went up and down so I could tell that this happened yesterday. It actually flipped an hour late, because the knob was loose and it pushed it an hour until it got caught and flipped. Then it fell back as the dial rotated into 2oclock and got stuck, making it flip today. All other days were normal. Temps begin to raise at 6and fall after 6am. Phew! Im almost patting myself on the back and laughing about the fact that I decided to get these. What a savior.

Looking ok. Wondering if I'm gona hit my 3lb mark. Doubt it. We will see. Most of the strains are very dense and likely will yeild more than what it looks to be. I remember the last time braincake had the least colas and weighed in (per plant) 2nd so I'm not worried the weight won't be there. There's still time.

Well that was a shitty week!
Had the flu (not covid I tested) and just been run down low energy haven't felt like updating. Also got my new vac pump kit so I've been making alot of extractions and such. Plus I had to switch things around and put up my 3x3 because the cuts for next round are ready to go but I am still a couple weeks away on harvest with this go.
I've also just switched over to 10k finishing bulbs in the cmhs for the last couple weeks. I love the crisp blue hue they give off. Reminds me of being out on the lake ice fishing and the early morning sun refracting the blue light through a large shard of ice sticking out of the water. Mmm nostalgia. Best drug there is!
Seriously though. I'll get a couple pics in a few when the lights flip.
Things I've noticed with the blumats:
-The drippers clog when running certain nutrients through them for a long period of time
-better to just run 2 per pot (although not completely necessary I just find 2 drip points are better than 1)
-lines behind carrot can clog while running certain nutrients through them.
-air stone in res caused nutrients to clump. Just wavemaker and everything's fine.
-check moisture level of pots often to make sure not over/under watering
Other than that I've really liked the blumats and I'm running them again with the next batch. Now I have some exp with them I can dial it in a bit better.

I duno what's up with the gorilla I haven't quite figured it out. I know she's a calmag whore bit I've already tapered off the calmag and slowly lowering EC she might just want more. But I only have 1 res so she gets what they all get. Maybe I'll handwater her in a bit higher ec with some calmag/Epsom. See what happens.
