I have been using the botanicare bricks for over 6 years now. Easy to store just buy it buy the case. So much cheaper than buying the coco in the bag ready to go. And you do not need to worry about getting any bugs that way. Of course i am saying this and i have a infestation but they did not come in the coco. If you want to go that route just hit me up and i will tell you how i charge it up super easy.
Thanks Capt will do
I used to hate bricks but that botanicare is so nice and fluffy when you rehydrate it. I will get more bricks and keep them handy. Way easier storage. 20 bucks a brick here at the local store.
Just did a quick check on e-bay 10 bricks for 42 us dollars and free shipping but not sure about free shipping to Canada .
Looking nice man. Are you going to keep the hydroton layer on top with your blumats? Do you use that as a fungus gnat deterrent?
Mac i normally use them for mulch but only a couple clay balls deep. During the battle that was increased to over a inch deep to try and deter them. I will probable not use them to start with on the Blumats so i can keep a eye on the coco. I am excited to set the blumats up. Just has so much potential to make life easier. I know those tips look a little burnt but i never exceed 750 ppm. Not exactly sure what happened but i am pretty sure it was from lack of calcium. Hopefully they will finish okay
Looking great Cap'n despite your battle. Loving the rose buds on the ECSD. Similar to mine but yours are more pronounced. Can't wait to see em fully plumped.
I was just curious how hydroton would work with the blumats. I'm really not that far ahead of you on knowledge with these things, so I still wonder about different scenarios. Good stuff and your plants look good to me man. Lil burnt tip never hurt anyone, lol.
At least it's a room full of good smoke, lol. Bummer though.
Hah no problem. A little of the tips of the rose type structure started to look similar but they were very different from mine, getting more filled out if you will. Was starting to wonder lol!
by 2 individuals that would know the strains well.
Damn! I would have thought those were the same too lol. They have a good eye, it must come from experience
You know it man. I was telling one of the guys that looked at the plants that i guess if you look at something long enough you can learn to identify them. Probably similar with me working on the water i could identify boats from long distance. Just from looking at them every day.
Thanks @Highsince76 . I can not tell you how relieved i am about the ID. It was driving me batshit crazy thinking how i could have made a mistake like that. How is dang fung treating you ?
Very well. Thank you. I'm on my second atomizer though. Not sure if it was me over using or just faulty, but they replaced it no problem or questions asked.
Hey @Highsince76 you should consider purchasing a spare atomizer. I had ordered 2 of them and because of a snafu on there part i wound up with three. Very nice just to drop the used one in alcohol and screw on the new one and BAMM ready to go
That's a good idea. So you do submerge the atomizer completely in alcohol? I was sort of wondering if that could have been what fried mine. Normally I'd use alcohol and q tips to clean it. I read other people were dropping them completely in alcohol and I decided to try. First session after I did that, it quit on me. I've been leary of it since I got the replacement. It sure is a lot easier that way if it don't harm the heating element.
