Cannot connect Bloom to forum or app even though it's online.

E

Everything else has sorted itself out (frozen control screen, lights not cycling) without my intervention, which leads me to believe the AI tech is working and my device is online. But every time I try and connect my phone to the forum and Bloom to the forum, it says bloom needs to be connected to wifi...it definitely is!

Questions and Answers
Basil-palooza!

G

I recently moved, and was worried my garden would have trouble with the transition. NOPE! Booted right back up and all is good in the world. I have (too much) cannabis laying around the house from bloom grows, so wanted to try something different. I got this six pod tray, created a basil recipe I thought might work, and dropped in some genovese today. I believe that starting in about 4 weeks, Bloom should produce about a pound of basil a week (that's my goal) for, well, forever. If you live in Colorado, let me know, I'll do some drop offs. Below are pictures of the control panel (right on target) and the planted six pod deck.

Also of interest (maybe) I have it in the garage and our night time temps are down to about 45 right now (mountains). So I switched the light cycle to lights on at night for max efficiency. I think it should work well.IMG-4695.jpg

Humidity Levels = Bud Rot [ H E L P ? ! ]

O

Hey gurus - has anyone figured out how to help decrease the humidity?

Oddly, I do not believe the built in humidity sensor to be very accurate. It never reports being higher than 65%.

I've installed two sensors in the box, and they both report much higher relative humidity.

Temp01 sensor reports 78%, located on the left side of the box.
Temp02 sensor reports 74%, located on the upper right side of the box.

The built in sensor reports 60%

My concern is another round of tossed buds due to mold.

Any suggestions?

KY Jealous - Today 5.25

F

Only a week or two left until I chop her down and dry her in the cabinet. The trichome production is DENSE DENSE DENSE.

For this round, I tried a bunch of different techniques to up the quality vs. the quantity, and I think it absolutely worked. The pungent aroma and general stickiness to the plant is truly something to behold.

What are some tips for drying and storing coriander seeds?

I

I'm interested in growing coriander and collecting coriander seeds to use in my cooking. What are some important factors to consider when growing coriander, such as the ideal growing conditions, and the best time to plant and harvest the herb? How can I properly care for my coriander plants and ensure a successful harvest of both the leaves and seeds? What are some tips for drying and storing coriander seeds, and how long can they be stored before losing their flavor and potency? Finally, what are some creative and delicious ways to use herb seeds in cooking, and how do they differ in flavor from fresh coriander leaves?

Questions and Answers
Control panel froze, lights stayed on all night

O

I checked on my grow this morning, and I noticed the time on the display said 4pm. I tried interacting with the control panel but I couldn't push any buttons - it was unresponsive no matter where I pushed.

I had to cycle boot the machine. This happened several times during my first grow and it really messed up my grow because it impacts the ability of the unit to follow the correct light schedule.

Is anyone working on getting this resolved? @BloomCS

Questions and Answers
Humidity

W

Hello I have decided id like to grow some fungi, mainly Enoki and Oyster. I would like to try and use the Bloom cabinet to provide the controlled environment. Is there a way to set parameters for humidity? The mushrooms need a more humid environment than what the bloom standard of 55%-65%.

Thanks for the wisdom,

Questions and Answers
All recipes showing a length of grow = 0

D

Hello! I am trying to start a new grow, but am unable to download a recipe from the forum (trying to use the 'Autoflower Sativa' posted by Gr0w3r -- it shows as being downloaded on the unit but there is no recipe behind it). I've also tried entering the parameters from scratch and it does not save. Every recipe other than the sample recipes (I selected the 'Beefsteak Tomato recipe and that works) have a grow time of 0 (zero). System seems to be running fine. I reset/rebooted to no avail. Any ideas on next steps?

BLOOM Cloud Update

B

Hello BLOOMers!

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, we are seeing some data issues between our BLOOMs and the cloud. This can impact recipe upload and download and limit what you can see from the APP, but should not impact the day to day running of your BLOOM garden.

Most of our BLOOM cloud development had been done with trusted long term partners in the Ukraine, Belarus and other countries now impacted by the crisis in the Ukraine. For security reasons, we ended relationships with contractors in those areas and are working hard to build expertise in safer zones. BLOOM is complex however, and so far we have not been able to move fast enough to keep all the wheels on all the time. We sincerely believe we will have this resolved soon, and thank you for your patience.

We are sorry for any frustration this downtime causes. We wanted to make sure you knew that we are aware of the issue, and let you know that we are working to get these issues resolved as soon as possible. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
