blumats and feeding?

Ive been thinking about using the blumat system with a reservoir. I prefer to use micro teas for feeding. Anyone with experience using them? What is the recommended method for feeding while using a blumat system? Would a tea mix clog the tips?

Yes it would most likely clog them,
I just fill my res with tap water and you can just hand water in a tea if you feel like it.
I use amended pro mix and top dress during flower

I have used teas a few times, but now I mostly just top dress, I omitted teas all together
If I feel like giving a boost of something I just give some Neptune fish and seaweed(hand watered in)and all's good in blazin land

I have heard of people using some of the products in the pure blend line of products with blumats but I would be to paranoid it was going to clog. The living soil works perfect with them so I don't have to mess around with the water.
If you use any products in the res you have to agitate the water to keep it mixed up, that usually creates bubbles which is a nemesis to the blumat lines, so not only could the stuff your adding to the res clog the lines, you could create a big air bubble in your line fucking up one of your blumats.
Lots of people do it, but I personally steer clear of it just to be safe

I wouldn't screw around with anything that could potentially cause buildup like teas. Blumats are great but best to run clean salts. The lines are only 3mm.
