Oldfogey8,
What you're doing is good. If you don't mind I will share a tip with you.
These manure cups don't degrade as fast as the seedlings will grow and the cause the roots to be bound for a time. By cutting the bottom out the roots can freely grow out the bottom of the cup in a closing conical way.

If you fill the cup first pressing in seedling mix before cutting the bottom out, then use the cup planting into the bottom of the manure cup. The roots will grow out the bottom in an expanding androtropic manner for even better seedling growth.
I hope you will be blessed by this tip.

Thanks. I don’t usually use these cups. I just had them around and had thrown out my usual small plastic pots in a fit of organization. 😁 I have some left in my garage and may use those up for veggies and I like the idea of giving the roots an escape route.

Thank you for sharing your experience and work with the family of icmag.

You are welcome but I keep journals as a way to remember what works, what doesn’t and what maybes for me. My memory ain’t what it used to be. I do, however, hope other people find at least some useful info from my journals since I have gained so much knowledge from perusing other people’s journals. Plus, who doesn’t like bud porn?😁

Getting some purple trichomes on the Heri-Berry plants. One plant I screwed the pooch on with my pollination. Seeds are peaking out from most of the buds. I think I got lazy and rushed the last couple. Hopefully the seeds have some winners amongst them.

And the Blumats seem dialed in as far as all the pots weighing about the same. Now I need to figure out a comfortable weight for them. I would prefer a system that would flood then shut off until a preferred moisture content is achieved but that is a pipe dream and not how the system was designed. It should be able to keep the plants relatively healthy while I am gone which is what I was aiming for.

The clones are revegging. Far right and 2nd from the left, top row are the 2 Dawg-Devi plants. The rest are Heri-Berry. 2 may not make it. They were the last to root and look pretty haggard.

8-10 outdoor plants. A couple for my neighbors yard. The rest in a spot I tried a couple years ago. Guerrilla style.

One of the Blumats had no flow this morning😡 even with the valve completely open. Thinking it might be air bound, I sucked some water out thru the feeder hose. Some water came out but it was really cloudy. Decided to clean the bucket and hoses. The bucket had sediment in the bottom of it. I assume that is from the nutes. Going to hand water for a week or so and set the system back up closer to departure. This system may just only work for water and not nutes. The time I will be gone will be water only and even if I get sediment, it should last the time I will be gone. Happy the system failed now but disappointed it took a month to get to this point.

Ran some fresh water thru the Blumat lines. There was some nasty gunk in there. Probably was best to get this done now. That could not be good for the plants. Going to give the plants a good soaking when the lights come on and get some good pics as this will be their last foray outside the tent for the duration.

Soaked them pretty good. Took some pics outside the tent. The Dawg-Devi smells like licorice and fuel. The Heri-Berry is fruity smelling.

Re-set up the Blumats. No nutes via the watering system going forward. The heavily seeded Heri-Berry is getting dark purple. 7 and a half weeks since flipping. Trichs are starting to get cloudy on all plants.

Lights out temp today was 57. Fed the plants yesterday so I can’t start dialing in tonight. I need to wait for the pots to dry out for that.

I like this bud. I wish I took the pic in white light…
