      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?

    • Finally made it to the end

      M

      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!

      She's alive!

      I started by soaking the seed from ILGM in a dark cabinet in a small cup of water for 24 hours before moving into Bloom. She had a tail popping out by this point.

    • Permission to come aboard!

      C

      This is a timely post, as we are amidst Spring...typically this is the time when growers start their seeds or clones and head to the great outdoors, for their once a year gardening projects. Well Spring, once a year is not for me! The fact that Spring can be year round indoors, has me in a perpetual grin. I know in advance that this is going to be a chatty, detailed laden introduction, but you will never hear from anyone as sincere. This is Jeff from Sherman Oaks, which is basically the same as Los Angeles....as a disclaimer, I am a part owner of this company...yes, today I bought some shares of Scott's Miracle Grow :). O.K., all joking is finished. I really did buy a few shares, and I will hopefully give "Beta users" validation for their brilliance on this unbelievable machine. From my gut and heart, I cannot wait until I am joining you men and women with Bloom. I am a gent who has seen automated grow box companies come and go more than anyone....my journey began in 2016 when through the ether of cyberspace I learned of a company called Cloudponics that was creating and wanted to market their automated hydro units. I was so spellbound that I invested significant coin into their vision. I will never see a penny returned to me. At that time I also put a deposit down on The Leaf, and soon after Seedo, and also Grobo. Eventually all deposits were returned. I ended up purchasing a hydro unit from BCNL that died....by the way, that company recently folded as well, as did Growbox USA. Going back to "Cloudponics" now, and as an investor and Beta tester, I had 2 of these machines in my home. Each machine ended up giving me a single grow, and then basically went on the fritz. Sure this was frustrating, but the takeaway was that this technology does exist. The huge problem with these well intention-ed start up companies, of course has to do with money. To go through appropriate research and development takes brilliant minds, hard work, and deep pockets when it comes to dollars. I am a late bloomer (pun intended), as only within the last 2 weeks have I come to learn of The Bloom. And in these past 2 weeks, Sir TJ, will attest that I've busted his chops more times than he or I can count. The lineage of The Bloom is like no other grow box company on the planet....Aerogarden---Scott's Miracle Grow---Hawthorne.....this is ASTOUNDING. I am learning features of The Bloom that every other company has only stated that they "hope" to include one day in their machines. Even my last hydroponic unit from BCNL came with a warning that the ambient temperature could not be above 82°. I ended up putting a hole in our laundry room venting to the outside, and installed a cheapo AC unit, to keep the room fairly cool. It was a joke, and cost me a lot of money. And when the machine died, what was I left with? The Bloom controls temp/humidity and this is a huge crucial game changer. Like a love struck fool, I spend daily time scrutinizing all of Bloom's features, and realize that all of you who are Beta testers have to be the happiest men and women on earth. My prayers are loud and clear for The Bloom to end Beta phase and fully come to market. Only because of my previous experiences I am forcing myself to wait for Beta to end. Scott's/Hawthorne/Aerogarden is my mantra. If anyone could guarantee an outcome for success, The Bloom's lineage comes up every time. I am keeping this post between myself and you growers. Spousal unit will never be reading this because I've gotten more flack than I can say when it comes to all of the grow boxes that have come and gone. As they say....Cannabis is not addictive, but growing it IS! I know it's not wise to wish time away, but clearly I cannot wait for The Bloom's next phase. In the meanwhile, I still get my kicks out of indoor growing, but presently just in soil from the company called Supercloset. Anyway, sending love to all of you who are putting The Bloom onto the map. Can't wait to be joining you, and huge thanks for your faith.

    • Sunflowers

      B

      Another first time grow from the BLOOM Lab. Sunflowers! This is a dwarf variety so we thought we would utilize the 6 pod grow deck accessory. The Sunflower recipe has been uploaded onto the Forum if anyone else wants to try it out. We planted 2 seeds in each pod (which is what we recommend) and all 12 germinated after only a few days. We have decided to keep the back three pods with both plants growing to see how it turns out!

    • RE: Increasing Nutrient levels

      Today I received a new power board in the mail and immediately installed it. Although I received some very clear instructions on how to properly install the board the following lines will be about my experience carrying said instructions.

      As described, I began by removing the power board cover and carefully pulling out each wire, 1-15. Wires 8 and 9 proved to be fairly tricky to remove so a word of caution to anyone who may have this problem. After that, I simply unscrewed the powerboard, replaced it with the new one, and re-attached each wire this time starting from wire 15.

      The dashboard then proceeded to give me notifications relating to the problems that were now fixed.

      The nutrients level had now read 2400. In order to lower this, I emptied about a quarter of the reservoir and filled it up with fresh water then checked the ppm. I continued doing this until the ppm was slightly below the recommended range and then allowed the bloom to put it back in range.

      Once that was done I was given another alert regarding the ph sensor. The dashboard was only reporting an error so I went back into the power board cover, unplugged and replugged wire 14 then turned the bloom off and on again. This seemed to have fixed the ph sensor which then read 8.2. The bloom quickly began adding ph down until it was back within its normal range.

      Everything is once again functioning as it should and my plant seems to be responding already. Thanks for all the help!

      Day 19 update,

      Took these pictures right after sending the plant into Veg 1. I had completed a water change prior to heading into the seedling stage however the ratios of nutrients stay the same into Veg 1 so I did not complete a water change for this phase change. Also, it appears to me that some of the newer fan leaves seem to take on a paler green than leaves that have been there longer, is this normal/ do these plants look healthy? I am a first-time grower so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi Everyone! Very excited to be starting my first Bloom grow. My wife and I received our Bloom about a week ago and have just finished setting it up. Looks like we are going to be using the FlapJack recipe in order to proceed with the Indica seeds we had purchased. Can't wait to see what comes next!!!

    • Hibiscus Sunrise Grow #2

      Hey everyone,

      I recently began a second grow in my BLOOM of Hibiscus Sunrise after an unfortunate accident had occurred with the Clementine Kush during early flower.

      After 9 days the seed has been successfully germinated and is off to a strong start. Excited to take this grow on having learned a lot from my first!

      Day 16 (Day 9 of Seedling Stage)
      Updating on the sunrise. Going to switch to veg and top soon. Everything with the system has been running very smoothly. It seems that every 4-5 days the nutrients go slightly above range in which case I simply add a pitcher of water to bring it back down.
      IMG_2782.JPG
      I was also wondering if anyone knew why this was happening to the lower leaves of the plant? The newest leaves seem healthy but the first two nodes have become dry and started browning like this.

      Day 45, in the early bloom stage

      Now that the plant is this big, does anyone have any tips for managing the height at this state?

      Going to do some major pruning later today and will post after.

      Here's what the baby looks like now as of day 21.

      Should I begin pruning lower leaves now that it's entered the veg stage?

    • RE: Increasing Nutrient levels

      @pdxbloom apparently the problem was with the ppm sensor.

      I believe the sensor was constantly reading the nutrient level it was at when I had made the stage change (623) and in an attempt to raise the level to 800 it kept pumping the nutrients into the reservoir. This lead the reservoir to change to a deep purple color.

      Luckily, I caught this the day of the stage change and my plant hasn't seemed to suffer from overfeeding.

      In order to solve the issue, I was told to remove the pumps from the three nutrient bottles. Then I emptied most of the reservoir, leaving about an inch or two left, and filled it back up with water, which seemed to dilute the deep purple color that I had seen earlier. I will now be receiving a new sensor system to install along with nutrients to get my plant back on track (I'm not sure who to @ but the help has been greatly appreciated).

      I hope this can help solve any future problems
