They look perfect! Very nice.
Are the Bluemats the watering devices? If they’re working properly, how longcould you leave your plants unattended?

Thanks man. I think so too.
There are 2 ways you can use yor blumats. With the pressure reducer you can hook it up to a faucet and theoratically you can leave them till harvest. Atleast in the watering aspect of things.
Or you can hook the blumats to a reservoir and leave them till it runs out of water. It depends on the capacity of your reservoir on this route.
Either way they’re great and the company actually has very good customer service i must say. They’re sending me a replacement pressure reducer without any proof of purchase or anything.
I bought mine from a grow shop which has shitty customer service so i directly contacted the blumat company in austria and they were very helpful. These things are important to me.

Awesome. I went to Blumat’s website and it pretty much sucks.
I’ve been worried about how to keep my bonsai mothers alive unattended for at least two weeks while I’m on vacation, and the Blumats just might be the solution.

Yeah very possible but you need to stick one carrot per pot on normal usage but depending on your bonsai count that may require too many carrots and your pots are probably small too.
If all your bonsai drink the same amount much less, you can use couple of carrots and there are blumat distribution drippers you attach to the carrots and you can just align one dripper per pot. That should work very well for bonsai i think.
I have took a 2 weeks vacation with these in place and they worked really well.

I think at the moment I have 17 ish mothers. Some of those I don’t really need to keep, so I could pare down the count.
They are in 3.5 inch square pots and I usually have to water them every three days or so, depending on big I let them get.
Two weeks is exactly how long I would need.
I’ll look into those drippers. Thanks for the top.

the carrots are kinda big for those small pots tbh. I mean i think you can work something out but do it a couple of weeks prior to your departure so you can fine tune it. Even in 5 gal pots, it takes me a week to dial it in perfectly. But other than that once you dial them in it works great.

I’m counting today as the start of the third week in flower. I flipped at the 3th but they transitioned a bit late. In 14 day pics it’s clear that they are a week into flowering. that helps me as all this is growing from cuts. Dinachem will need 70-75 days, Blue Kush and NL will need 60-65 days total. Let’s see how long it’ll take for the cross finish.

Hoping for the best man. I stunted it bad at the beginning so anything i get from it will be a gift. it looks healthy tho.
the bottle of alg-a-mic i had was smelling funky so i just gave all of it to the dinachem and blue kush. Not much was left only ike 25mls or something, i don’t think it’ll burn. We’ll see.

Tents looking cool Dinachem needs more nutrients so i topdressed 2 days ago and since i was at it did the other 2 also. NL didn’t get any as it’s pretty dark and healthy atm. I always wait too long before i topdress haha.

Mold strucks again. Pulled them all early. 2 weeks early. Except the nl. But still had to toss many solid nugs because those are the ones that gets hit the hardest. Ordered a dehum because this is not sustainable and it got frustrating. The better i grow, the more i lose. I threw out about 125gr and there was another 25grs of fluff. the rest weighs in at 400gr now but i think i’ll lose another 50 during drying. They are almost ready to be jarred.
also shit doesn’t stop, i’ve been doing a seed run in one of my 2x2s and nl is showing some pretty balls.

Damn man I know how you feel about that rot. I just took down a room last week and it had some rot in it. Didn't lose as much as you but it definitely gets frustrating throwing what should have been good buds in the trash.
Was yours full on mold or was it the white wispy stuff that looks like spider webs?
crimsonecho
Self-Proclaimed Don Quixote
Not really full on mold but mostly white wispy stuff. Only a tiny budlet in a main cola had that bud rot shit. They are still smokeable (did it) but i’m gonna make edibles with them. Most are really fine i mean i probably smoked worst shit when i was buying from the dealers but still better to make qwet and then chocolates out of that. Got the dehum running now and the rh is at 45% i hope i’ll not lose anything to mold anymore. It’s a very very sneaky bastard!

they’re looking well it’s been 8 days since i transplanted, not there yet but i’m sure by the end of this month they’ll be ready to flip. all the yellowing, burned tips etc etc are old stress caused by staying in a small pot for too long. i should defol sometime soon.
blue kush and dinachem S1- blue kush was the most stressed out plant, it was throwing purple leaves on the previous set now its getting greener and greener.
destroyer - absolutely amazing smoke, really is the gentlest cocaine ever
cannalope haze - i had 2 of these plants 2 out of 3 germinated, the other was the fast finishing pheno as advertised by the seedbank. this was way better than that fast finishing gal so i kept this. beautiful plant and brilliant smoke, well worth the 14-15 weeks.
and the great hypoaspis miles gathering in my worm bin. i think they like coffee a little too much.. good guys.

not much difference is visible in the pics but the leaf colors are pretty much normal now and i took of a considerable amount of tiny growth tips from destroyers. eventho its 100% sativa this gal likes to bush out and doesnt do much vertical growth.

had some problems with nutrient deficiencies 20 days back and as usual i corrected it and then went overboard but only a little tip burn is not that bad. they are in the 30th day of flowering and coming along nicely. not much to report except to say that i’ve been extremely busy as i got married and mostly working on getting my house into decent shape so have been neglecting the gals a bit they seem fine to me.

ok here we go week 5 of flower had some problems with deficiencies mostly (only with 100% sativa plants) now getting back on track.
i have in there 2 cannalope hazes (the tall ones in the middle), 2 destroyer, 2 nl s1s from seed, 1 dinachem, 1 caribe and 1 dinachemxblue kush f1. not doing terrible atm.
destroyer
dinachemxblue kush and the rest at the back (nl s1 #1, dinachem and caribe)
i rearranged the tent, i moved a blue kush out and put some seeded gals (yellow dead looking gals in the bottom middle) then moved them out too and placed the dcxbk f1 between the cannalopes this before rearrangement
this is after
