Plush Berry In SuperSOil. Yellow Leaf Question

Ah! Too Late. Already ordered some common ratchet types. They look good.Yo-yos look sweet. You feel they work better?

How are the plants doing? How are those blu mats working out? Do u just use reg water? Do they let the soil dry out at all? what happens when the bottom of the pot is still wet ? Do they just drip anyway? I really want something cool to water with... I work in a 2x2 space so watering has been a problem. Those blu mats look awesome but will be hard to beat the old school picking up the pot, if it's not heavy, it needs water technique. I just want to know if they are reliable and how deep they go? And do u ever have oh shit moments with run off.....?

Plants are a dense block of green with no crispy leaf tips anywhere. The blumats work well once dialed in. I never look at them anymore. I would not grow without them.

I use the larger Maxi "carrots" in my 7 gallon pails with two distributors per pail. Top of the soil I let get just slightly dry. Everything else is the perfect moisture level. No runoff. As best as I can tell, and from talking with many others who use blumats, there are no soaked spots while others are dry. This assumes you have soil that rains well and properly.

I use well water and have the pails sitting in trays. If there's a runoff, the tray would fill up. I have sensors in the trays so if they detect water building up in the trays the water is immediately shut off. Never had to use it, but it's there just in case.

I highly recommend the blumats for soil. Not so crazy about them if watering from a res, especially a nute-filled res. The tiny lines can get clogged.

I plan to just add water--plan tap bubbly water. I like to let my air hose run in a bucket of water, it helps me sleep. Anyway, I will be in a tight space, but I actually plan to use 7 gallon pots myself. I am on this super soil pursuit, so I hope to just use some water and then apply tea, I just have not figured it all out yet. I need to read teaming and get a scope and make the perfect bubbler and make the perfect EWC and get my soil tested for free at the local university and all for what, probably just one plant in my closet......and to grow the greatest vegetable in the world, muhahahaha which brings me to my next question:

How much water do the blumats use on a daily, weekly basis per 7 gallon pot.

My final questions go like, when do they let the plants dry out and is this when you apply tea, if you ARE-- a tea'r, and yep I can can probably make it from there.

oh oh oh..... and, do you ever pull the blumats out and there is like phallic craters I gotta figure these blumats out sorry for all this.....


Thanks

The ratchet style are much better, I recommend those.

This looks awfully bushy. Hope this mass of leaves doesn't drop bud yield. I'd like these to be filling out a little better by now. This is a shit picture quality (sorry) but two plants here in a SCROG in week 7

Any thoughts on this mess? Everything is really lush, but I'm concerned about light getting to all the bud sites. Is it too late to trim some leaves in week 7? I'd hate to stress them

the longer i grow the more aggressive i have become pruning shade leaves. both yield and color suffer from all that shade. i now remove them during veg. for example i have qt moms in 7 gallon pots that i have removed DOZENS of shade leaves from. remove any large leaves that are blocking budsites. also any redundant leaves (shade leaves that are stacked on top of each other)

That's what I'm thinking. Too late in week 7 of flower, though I suppose.

it wont hurt. i would thin them out

Groovy! Thanks!
