Blumat Watering System

[cardgenius]

I’m looking to add Blumat Watering system for my plants. From the reviews it seems like a good system that works like advertised. Does anyone here use them? Have any good tips to get it setup properly? Thanks!

i have used those lil carrots. i used 2 to a 3gal square bucket with good results, but if i were in a 5gal i'd go for 3. i also had the nute rez bottom higher than the pots by 3 or 4" outside of the grow room. make sure to add air and every couple days feed molasses to keep the critters happy in the solution. in hot months i ran a chiller with a pex coil sunk in the rez. meaning a closed system, no nutes were flowing through the chiller. also i like the maxi's so that you can get better penetration to the bottom of the root ball
