Just remember that it was written by the dude selling it. Not saying it's bs, just that it is one of any ways. I have happy healthy plants with zero deficiencies hand watering. I use plastic nursery pots, and constant moisture is not good if you guess wrong on how often to juice them.
Every strain, and sometimes pheno's within one strain have different requirements. Every plant is different with the exception of clones, which may not behave like the mom, but will behave like each other. A lot of the people looking for a set it and forget it method are doing it out of necessity.
IMHO if you are growing one strain - from clone - for profit and bulk - then this would be a must have. If you have the time to lift each pot and water as needed you can maintain a better moisture level (whichever one you choose based on pot size and weight) consistently over a mixed tent and get as good or better of an outcome.
@H.A.F. man I hand watered for over 10 years it worked great, nobody can deny that, I'm just saying for me and probably most if not all people who used them felt the same. I do wish I could edit it and put sips in there to cause they do the same thing kind of with the content moisture
Look not trying to be a dick but let's go over how this happened.
You came into the thread I started about a product that you have never used and don't even know how it works and proceeded to tell me and everyone else how wrong my post was first it was the guy from ic mag is apparently a blumat dealer because he liked the product and wrote a nice write up of his thoughts on the product and what it does. I'm guessing now because I like the product and posted about it I'm on the payroll too(I wish I could use the extra money)
Then it's "I use plastic nursery pots, and constant moisture is not good if you guess wrong on how often to juice them." So do I and contant moisture is key the plants love it, you can literally set it at the exact moisture level you want. I can see your point that when your hand watering it would be impossible to keep it at a beneficial constant moisture level .

Both The statements above are all reason blumats work amazing because it caters to each plant individually
Then you continued saying how all the articles i posted the first one with no mention of blumats or any connection to that company plus the member on ic mag sell blumats, gets tiring when you so obviously don't have a clue what your talking about.
Yes 1 article was written by Kis organics and it says right in the article that they sell them so I'm not sure what your problem is, it's no big secret.
You and quiescent brought up a good point about the drought bring more terps and cannabinoids, so I did some reading and posted an article that supports that. But apparently research done by university's isn't good to you Becuase according to you they contradict themselves.
But even though you got upset because I said you didn't read the articles, you eather didn't or you don't understand what your reading. I'm real dumb when it comes to English(probably shouldn't even of graduated from high school)and I got what it said
The first article gives five levels of moisture and says plants grow healthiest when in the Sweet spot aka level 3...zero mention of any growing instruments at all for the record
Third article I posted discussing drought and raised level of terps and cannabinoids, wich you say contradicts the first one but if you had actually read and understood the article it's says to only drought your plant once at a specific time
"Researchers at the
University of Guelph (U of G) found that a single controlled application of drought stress increased the concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) by 12% and 13%, respectively, compared to a non-stressed control. Further,"
So to say that a one time drought to increase terps and cannabinoids is a contradiction of the first article is a stretch at best
Look all I'm saying is my experience is the same as what was posted by the ic mag member and the first article, as far as the second article by kissing organics I'm not going to say I get 20-30% better yield as I've never really checked, I do notice them bigger and healthier but not sure about %
Look I don't care if someone uses blumats, use sips they do the same shit pretty much
You should try a sip and see what it's like, hell if you wanted I could send you one blumat to try(got like 40) I don't use them all usually but you would have to send it back when your done your experiment, I know you don't want to but just throwing it out there
I bet you do a sip or a blumat just 1 and you would be impressed by the outcome
Sorry man I can be a dick sometimes I apologize, just kind of urked me that you just dismiss everything I posted without any real knowledge of the subject. Yes I get it your hand watering works nobody is saying it doesn't, worked for centuries and always will
I can admit I didn't know about the drought stress, learn something new everyday (hopefully) thanks for pointing it out
Look sorry if I offended you
