Looking nice. Sometimes I forget how nice it is to grow in a desert. My problem is the humidity is too low lol. When I harvest it will dry in 3 days if I'm not careful.

Absolutely not! I wouldn't use that if I were you. Just let me know when I can swing thru and take it off your hands. That soil looks dangerous. Lmao-
Looks amazing buddy, I'm excited!

ugh i haaaaate when they dry that fast
how do you combat that? a sealed tent with a dehuey set on like 60% RH?

Just a tent no dehumidifier ever, don't even need one in my grow tent. It rained yesterday and snowed in the mountains, so my humidity is around 30% today. Usually it's lower than 10%, it didn't rain this summer for 55 days straight. Here's a pic from 11 weeks ago.ugh i haaaaate when they dry that fast

Oh my!!! 3% humidity??? didn't know that was even possible! i live next to the great lakes... it's like 80%+ humidity all freakin summer here. SUCKS. the lakes and wilderness are great trade off though

Mine dry in 4 to 5 days. I'm in the dry desert. I usually take them down after 4 days so they don't over dry. Then when they cure. After a few days they're at the perfect moisture level. They still come out stinky and smelling great. No hay smell from drying to fast. It's about 70-75 F in the room they dry in. Very low rh.

Jacks Cleaner 2
liking the looks of this cut so far.... just transplanted her from the container that is in the pic. now in a 1 gal. with Base mix + kelp meal, crab meal, OSF, rock dusts, DE, and gypsum. The soil is in pic is the same mix - the kelp. forgot to put it in, didn't even cook the mix, and these are my healthiest clones i've ever grown. AACT and water only! transplanted with coconut water + root myco dusting.
it seems a lot tighter node structure than what i thought the jacks would have based on TGA site....

Looks good man. That mix shouldnt really need to cook I wouldnt think. I use local promix hp with an organic local vegetable food mix (powder) and some lava rock and some neem seed meal. I water with coco water and mist/wet soil w aloe. Also my garden loves fish hydroslate though I am outdoors. Oh and cannot forget unsulphured blackstrap molasses. Got a case of it in month or so back.

i thought the same about the mix. i decided to include the fish hydrolysate (1tbsp in 4gal) with my vegamatrix feeding today (i know you vega people are like WTF????)... but i'm ok with fish, and i know that it's a fungal favorite so that's why i decided to include it today. it was for my black domina 9 days into flower. figured that'd be a good time to hit them with it. i may one more time before for my last feeding of the "grow" vegamatrix. just kick the grow, and use the fish hydro instead ~day 30 or so.

Bro bro, they look beautiful. But...my little eye spies, a slight magnesium deficiency. I know your soil has plenty of it, but hit them with a foliar to assist in the mean time. Or the gorilla and sour D are mag whores.

yeah i was gonna let them sort it out, as i just transplanted them like 10 days ago or something. they've still got a lot of filling in to do in those pots. i will do a kelp and fulvic foliar on them. that should sort it out. i'm gonna wait a few days as i just treated them with the WPM killer day before yesterday.

Good idea. They don't look bad at all. Just as long as the chlorosis doesn't turn to necrosis, because that will set them back.

i'm still new to blumats, and have only had them in for about 4-5 days now. that is just my hypothesis about them sensing the added moisture, i have yet to do it, but it makes total sense to me, as that is how they function, by detecting moisture, right? I do see them with the drop and i'm thinking right now they're keeping my soil too moist, and i've been tightening the cap slightly to see how the soil reacts.
if your blumats are dripping into the soil, and the soil isn't dry on top (where it should dry first), i would close the cap slightly to get it to hold that drop of water again (like in the setup) and keep eye on it. IMO the container should not be so saturated all the time that it looks like it's been freshly watered everyday, which would created an oxygen deficient soil. I think it's going to take some fine tuning to get these things dialed in right. especially since right now i don't even have any plants in my containers (except the cover crop in 2).
all this is my current opinion, having very little experience with them so far. i'm interested to see how they dial in as i get more time with them. really like the idea of not having to water; especially when i figure out a bigger water tank, and a self filling float system
yeah!how long have you been using your blumats?? @BigDoobie
