Cannabis is very much not "a weed". Yes it's a Summer Annual plant but is by no means drought tolerant, as it pertains to growing high quality sinsemilla. Hemp, sure maybe, but this isn't ROPEitup, it's ROLLitup

ROPEitup sounds like a hardcore LST board. Proceed with caution!

I'm assuming you have never moved a 7 gallon pot fully saturated in and out of a tent....

Any alternative to blumats for soil that would be useful for coco down the road?

I've got a plastic 10gal trashcan from Menards that was cheap as fuck. I fill it with water and mix a shit ton of nutes. Pump in it so I can just fill my 2gal watering can and hit the plants real quick. Usually lasts a couple days but I'm growing almost a dozen photos in flower right now.

can you make any adjustments to blumats so they feed more? seems like only feeding to minimal saturation w/o runoff in coco would be trouble

Personally< I got my eye on the FloraFlex Matrix system, I like those "thingies" that distribute the water across the top of the coco rather than just dripping in one spot.

That's interesting.

I think I could add the drippers and maybe set it at a higher moisture level. Maybe, I donno.

Wet/dry cycles is properly applied watering stress, not testing its "drought tolerance"

I was at one point. Then I switched to growing organically in SIPs. I don't grow huge plants, maybe ~6 oz per SIP at most (1 or 2 plants), with a 2.75 gallon reservoir for each SIP. All the nutes are in the soil. I can usually get through one crop with just a single top-dress in mid flower, then subsequent rounds in the same container need to be top-dressed every 2-3 weeks. The reservoirs get plain water, and I only have to refill them every 4-5 days at most during a grow.
I still check in on them almost every day, but I only have to interact with them once or twice a week, usually to add plain water to the reservoirs. I really don't understand why more home growers don't do it this way...

Straight coco, but there is mosquito bits in there, not perlite.

Aren't blumats just full-on gravity-fed mini reservoirs in each pot? I mean, it's "doable" there's always options for ANY setup
