@henhennesy here you go! Harvesting this weekend.

I'm throwing this out to the group for help. Anyone have any ideas on where to turn for new pumps? I need a new one for the mixing pump.

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

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,

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?

Hi from Chicago burbs... Looking forward to growing some great tomatoes.

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.

I can no longer connect to my Bloom from the IOS app. After logging in, I get the internet connection lost message in red at the top of the screen.
Also on the forum and the Bloom panel, I am unable to download recipes from the forum. repetitive loop back to the login screen despite being logged into the forum.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Dwarf sunflowers are GLOWING in my BLOOM! This is day 100, with florals opening about 10+ days ago. I plan on harvesting the blooms in a few weeks and putting out for the birds. 20220510_093734.jpeg

So this is the fourth attempt to grow some sweet Mary Jane. The first 3 times all ended tragically due to various kinks which have been worked out for the fourth attempt. Finally was able to track down an auto flower seed and used that grow recipe.

I sent an email with an issue I'm having but it bounced back that the user has been deactivated. My worst nightmare after going through this with the Grobo!
@BloomCS are you still with us?
I cannot exit out of Edit Recipe on my control panel. I click every button possible, but it keeps saying fill in the missing information.

RE: Ackbar OG -- Mostly Daily Grow Walkthrough with Lots of Photos and Videoposted in Show What You Grow
Day 40. Another mega prune. You can see in these photos that I trimmed back all the cola's that weren't as mature, and just really cleaned up the under- canopy. The only things left on the plant are the 16 colas that I've decided are at about the same height, and that i will grow to maturity. From here on out, there is no major pruning, just some "cleaning up" to do of any new baby colas that form or leaves that are growing under canopy. I also did a final training, and matched each remaining cola to it's own space in the trellis.

RE: Ackbar OG -- Mostly Daily Grow Walkthrough with Lots of Photos and Videoposted in Show What You Grow
OK, been a little busy through the holidays but here are pics at day 66. Well into flowering now and THIS THING JUST WONT STOP GROWING. This isn't stretch, the internodal spacing is still tight, but it is just too happy. We are going to have to rethink how to grow in here. I threw this into flowering at 13 inches tall. Usually in stretch you can expect to about double plant size. We've well more than tripled it. At this point, every few days I'm lowering my top trellis to squish the plant down a few more inches and keep it out of the light. It is flowering well there, although I am probably squishing some buds pretty good!
Because you have to prune so aggressively in BLOOM I will probably get a great yield, but with a lot of smaller buds. Next grow I'm going to hack it back even more to fit it inside.
Any advice? I've turned the light intensity down to 90% to combat the curl on top, but it looks like it could take another 5% at least.

Sea of buds, getting closer to harvest. They are really starting to fill out and feeling pretty dense and sticky.

RE: Ackbar OG -- Mostly Daily Grow Walkthrough with Lots of Photos and Videoposted in Show What You Grow
Harvested 3 weeks ago now. 6.5 ounces at 60 percent moisture! Not bad for a first grow and I learned a lot - I don’t think I’ll have a future grow under 8 ounces and want to push to a pound per grow. In dry Colorado, It took 6 days to cure to exactly the right level in Bloom when hanging the whole plant. It would take less if you cut it back and only hung the branches. Pics shows weight on a tared scale and the 2 plus half gallon jars of finished flower. Fiskars shears and spoon for size reference.

RE: Double Bubbaposted in Show What You Grow
Haha! I love the blue glow. It will likely be fine at14 too. There are great recipes to download on the forum, right now it is easiest to download them on the app (they will show up on the control panel). You can just advance through the stages you have passed so far.

RE: Blueberry Banana Sherbertposted in Show What You Grow
11.72 ounce harvest (dry weight at 60%)!!! Who will be the first to get to a pound? I’ve attached photos. On the truly bizarre, I now don’t have enough half gallon ball jars to store the harvest. I had to use a Rubbermaid bin!

RE: Samoa kushposted in Show What You Grow
The different morphologies from the different strains are amazing. I think those are the strangest leaves I’ve seen on a cannabis plant! Lots of buds coming in now.

Looking good! I will try to share some Bloom tips I’ve learned through trial and error if you post a pic now and again. Tip one is lower your temperature! I’ve had better success at 72 or so and most early Bloom recipes were warmer. I can’t wait to watch your grow!

@harvester that’s amazing. That would take me hours to trim. Did you do it all in one sitting?

RE: BLOOMin with excitement!posted in Introductions
Hi @ThePlantZaddy it is great to see some new faces here. Blooms must be shipping! Hello to @greenapple too.
I've had a Bloom for more than a year now and have grown a bunch. My biggest tips are 1) when in doubt, ask questions here (Bloom is different than anything else), 2) prune a lot, 3) if something seems wrong it just might be. It's Beta. Ask the CS folks, 4) enjoy the ride. It is an amazing machine and you won't believe how engaged you can get in watching somethign grow this fast.
Have any pictures PlantZaddy?

RE: Seed Stage & Germinationposted in Questions and Answers
Hey i have planted a lot of seeds so far and only had one not germinate (but I'm using very fresh seeds). Some companies are recommending you germinate in the paper towel method (but I think that's just so you don't blame the device). I've never tried transplanting a seedling like that into a peat pod.
