I get it in my beard when I'm in the tent doing shit.I just realized how much resin is in my hair from working under my bitches all night. Lifted my head off the recliner and it sounded like velcro and smells of sweet pine terp that's mesmerizing.. amend that soil, bitches said to me. FILLED both compost tumblers to the brim.. next step is worms...
My morning meditation is to set up a rez in the veg room and make an attemt at running 1.2 ec of sea 90 through the blumat system to see if i plug up. Any one have any objections to this line of thought?I get it in my beard when I'm in the tent doing shit.

The only issues I've had with blumats getting clogged is with their distribution drippers because the have a pretty narrow channel for the water to drip out of. They recently released a new drip ring that is supposed to handle nutrients in the water better than the drippers. I just got 4 of them to try out with my next grow.My morning meditation is to set up a rez in the veg room and make an attemt at running 1.2 ec of sea 90 through the blumat system to see if i plug up.

I've had it happen in the past but I haven't had it happen since I got the clear caps that you put over the adjustment knob to prevent it from moving. That makes me think that when it's happened in the past it was likely because I inadvertently bumped the knobs while I was in the tent doing things.Prepare to catch a lot of runoff. Unplanned. That was my experience anywho.
Just picked up a case and testing now at day 3 with just water and everything seems ok .The only issues I've had with blumats getting clogged is with their distribution drippers because the have a pretty narrow channel for the water to drip out of.

What ec did you run? More woried about plugging but shit rolls up and down hill given a chance....Prepare to catch a lot of runoff. Unplanned. That was my experience anywho.
What’s your plan or worm food? My kidlets have moved out and my kitchen waste is way down. I’m planning to give organics a real go. So I’m upping my worm game. Went through a bunch of worm beds and harvested a bunch to make some breeder beds.
New bedding consists of barly straw cut into about 2” lengths and either peat or coco.
Picked up a flour grinder. To mill some chow.
Alfalfa pellets, beat pellets, malt barley, corn, rice, and a few others I’m experimenting with.
Just a light sprinkle on top daily. It is disappearing. Unfortunately all the cow shit is under snow at the moment. Worms love it. Makes good bedding and good fert after.
Picked up the grinder for 150. A bit slow but works real well. May even try some wheat and make some bread.

Do the ring drippers need to be pressurized or are they passive like the carrots?The only issues I've had with blumats getting clogged is with their distribution drippers because the have a pretty narrow channel for the water to drip out of.

They are in place of the older Drip knozzel so yes the carrot sends water. The connection spot is a tad to big so ya gotta spit on it and twist...Do the ring drippers need to be pressurized or are they passive like the carrots?
No extra pressure needed. Just the same as a regular Blumat system.Do the ring drippers need to be pressurized or are they passive like the carrots?
Could those rings be used in a gravity feed drip system?No extra pressure needed. Just the same as a regular Blumat system.
Yup, my Blumat system is gravity fed.Could those rings be used in a gravity feed drip system?
Thx....good to know!Yup, my Blumat system is gravity fed.
