Hello BLOOM Community,

News Upate!

On Dec 5 BLOOMs received a system upgrade that included improvements to the PPM and pH logic. You may have already seeing the message from your BLOOM telling you an upgrade is available.

If you have not seen the message, you can find the update by going to your BLOOM's 'Wi-Fi' section. You get there by either touching the Wi-Fi icon or using your Control Panel Menu.

Once in the Wi-Fi section, select 'Software Update. It will tell you there is one and if you touch 'OK' it will install it for you. The installation may take a minute or two and it is possible that your screen goes dark for a bit afterwards, that is normal, it is the system rebooting itself once the update is installed.

After you install the update, you will have FW version V1.1.19.

Let us know if you have any questions or issues updating your BLOOM. We're here to help. :blush:

When growing Peppers from seed, if you planted 3-5 seeds in the pod to make sure you'd get at least one seed germinating, then you are bound to get more than one little plant coming up within a couple of weeks. I got four! :seedling: :seedling: :seedling: :seedling:

However, exactly because I am growing these in a single pod, now that these little guys are about 2" tall, I must make a hard decision: Which one of the bunch am I going to allow to keep on growing?!

Yes!! :disappointed_relieved: I have to cut out my extra little seedlings and leave only one. Why? Well, because it WILL be huge! And I only have enough space for one. So ... I must make the tough decision. Choose one, and cut away the rest. Here they are, and here I go.

And so, I did it. Very reluctantly and sadly, I had to let 3 little seedlings go and keep the healthiest one of the bunch.

The first time I had to do this was very hard, because ... what if the one doesn't make it? ... why can't I just grow them all, they are so tiny?! ... why...? But, after growing once I learned. This little guy is going to be huge! So, in order to give it the best chance, it will need all the space it can get.

Just you wait!

Here it is! And just because it is a cute little living thing, because I want to, and because why not, I am going to name my little fajita pepper plant Henry.

Hello Henry!

Hello BLOOM enthusiasts, Happy Thursday!

By now your BLOOM would have alert you of a new software update. Some of the improvements in this update include:

• Fixes to the time-lapse status report

• Improvements to the radiator fans commands

• Fixes to the database overflow instances causing some crashes

• And a few bug fixes, including the one that would replace a recipe when changing to a new recipe stage

If you do not see the alert, you can always find the update in the Wi-Fi section of your BLOOM, going to Menu, Wi-Fi, and Software Updates

Let us know if you have any questions or issues pertaining this update.

Thank you, and happy growing!

Henry is undergoing Stage 3:
Aggressive Veg; 7 Days Long; 1200 PPM; Ratios 3/2/1; 5.7pH; 17 Hrs On; 78F Target Temp

Here is Henry today :)

The leaning tower of Henry.....

Henry is getting very bushy and very heavy for his own good.

This morning I found it leaning against the door and realized that while he's short, he's stout. Trellis aid was needed.

Here is a view from the top.

The trellis will come in handy once Henry's flowers turn into heavy peppers.

And here is after!.....

This is what got removed:

And now, we can see the peppers!

:blush:

Happy Valentine's from Henry!

Time for a serious haircut and harvesting!

Here is the amount of bush that had to be removed:

Here is Henry after the cutting was done:

And this is the haul found under all that bush, yay! :blush:

Finally! After two weeks waiting for my little seeds to do something, today I can finally see it come out all the way. It's double its size since Sunday, when I first noticed little green by the seeds. So excited!

Today I'm starting a new plant. Coffee!

First time growing one like this, so let's hope she makes it. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Her name is Ara!

A week later and Henry needs another haircut.

But also, the top leaves seem to be burning. Is that because they are too close to the top light? Should I reduce intensity to maybe 75%?

Any suggestions?
