    • Need new pump - where to get one?

      D

      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.

    • 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

      @BloomCS can you help identify this part that I found in the bottom of my reservoir and let me know the correct home for it? It's rubber.

      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,

    • 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.

      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.

    • RE: Tom the Beefsteak Tomato

      Ha! I love that. I'd start by pruning leaves that are touching the ground. You will see two kinds of growth on a tomato. 1) leaves, 2) stems or suckers. The leaves are pretty obvious, like the leaf on the lower left. It is just a leaf. It has an end point. It is not growing a new stem. The suckers/stems grow out from between where a leaf joins a stem. A sucker is trying to create a new vine, and will set flowers. But in a closed space you don't want too many of them -- maybe 6 or 8 "vines" max in a closed system.

      On this plant I'd start by pruning any leaves that touch the ground. Cut them off back at the stem. Then I'd installthe trellis right on top of the current top growth.

      You can also clear off any brown or unhealthy leaves. Don't worry about pruning too much, you could take off 1/3 of that plant and still be ok. Post a picture after pruning and we'll see if there are any other clear next steps.

      I don't think "topping" this tomato is needed, as it has already developed lots of lead stems, and as an indeterminate variety (that means it will grow forever) you're not going to be able to keep it in the box without aggressive pruning anyway.

      You may get a few tomatoes soon! Start checking the older flowers for tiny, bb sized tomatoes in the middle of them.

    • Preventing pH ping pong

      Stretch your pH up and down by adding 50% or more water to your pH up or down. Distilled water recommended. Dilute up to 5 to 1 (water to solution). It will take longer to dose up or down, but you'll be less likley to "ping pong" on the dosing, which uses more solution and causes your PPM to rise.

    • RE: Black Beauty Eggplant

      @I_like_plants yes! That's pretty much the dream of Bloom. By creating recipes that finitely control all variables we can optimize growth tuned to plant type (tomatoes, eggplant, cannabis, cucumbers or Christmas Trees), by variety (beefsteak or cherry tomato) and even get into micro-tuning -- bringing forward specific genetic traits (like controlling for output vs. flavor on tomatoes, or even type of flavor (sweetness or acidity)). And, standing here, we're pioneers with that tech in our hands, looking to create the first rounds of recipes that will then be shared, grown, rated, edited, improved and grown again, in virtual partnership with the plants we're growing. It's going to be a very fun ride.

    • RE: Grape Presidential Sativa

      @Harvester that is truly stunning growth in just one month. I actually wouldn't believe it if I didn't know it was true. From a harvest standpoint though, we're probably going to need to do some serious pruning to keep that thing from growing right out of your Bloom. Do you want to talk about that here? That is a really aggressive plant and i think it is going to start pushing the door open unless we do something about it.

    • RE: Bloom Buddies!

      Welcome!

      Those look so fun! I read up on them over the weekend and should have a recipe for you soon. They grow best at about 55-60 degrees. It will be a great test for BLOOM to see if we can control to a temperature that low. These plants get pretty big so it will be interesting to see how many grow well in a Bloom all at once. I'm excited for the adventure!

    • RE: Early Pruning

      You actually have three seedlings in there! Yes, it is time to cut a few of them out. You want to very carefully cut the stems of two of the seedlings just below the leaves. If you wait a day or two the stems will get longer and make it easier to trim out.

    • RE: Gold Medal Tomato

      Hey ! Bloom can sure generate some plant mass. Here's what I'd do re pruning.

      1. top off the top six inches of plant. Everything but the flowers, and keep it pruned to that level.

      2. prune about 50% of the plant mass cluttering up the middle. Mostly, take out leaves and suckers that are all tied up in knot in there. It will feel strange, but your plant doesn't need all those leaves and it won't hurt a thing to remove them.

      3. trim the bottom third back to just the stems or main branches.

      Right now, all that plant mass is acting like a giant wick and moving i bet a gallon a day of moisture out of your reservoir. Everything will be happy with less plant mass in there. Keep the fruit, but prune back the bigger leaves and suckers. If you don't know what I mean by suckers, I can post something on that as well. Right now the main job is turning those flowers into tomatoes and getting them ripe!

    • RE: Gold Medal Tomato

      That's getting pretty fun. I have highlighted the leaves I'd remove. The leaves in the middle don't do much for growth (low light) so removing them is beneficial. I'd also cut all the suckers in the middle that don't have room to grow.

      Tomatoes are aggressive growers. Let us know how the transplant goes. I'd recommend transplanting into dirt (good potting soil) for a few weeks to harden them off before putting them in ground. Good luck!

    • RE: Cherry Tomato: Super Sweet 100

      Looking good! Every water change I push the roots back over to the right side of the root blockers (under the root view panel on the left) to keep them from growing down into the reservoir. Other than that, you can let the root mass get as big as you'd like. Bloom comes with a trellis system (inside the accessories box), and I think you are ready to install it and let the plant start growing through. Let us know if you need some direction there.

    • RE: Watering Houseplants?

      I tend to use mine on the lawn, but diluted at about 4 to 1 it should be good for houseplants. Since houseplants grow so much more slowly, you do not need the high concentrations of nutrients present in Bloom.
