Tropf Blumat questions

Tropf Blumat questions.

I just installed a blumat system.

I have a 3x2x4 cabinet (w x d x h)
I have 4 3gal fabric pots.
Using Fox Farms Ocean Forest
My res is setting on top of the cabinet.
So I would guess it is 3ft higher than the emiters.
I set it up according to the instructions.

One carrot per pot.

After 4 days my water level has not dropped.
Plants still seem a little damp, so I am not sure if they are adjusted correctly.

I have drip pans and my res is only ¼ full (2gal).
I think I my be to worried about a runaway?

Any suggestions?

patience is key. You need to check the weight of the pots to see if the soil is staying moist.

It takes a little bit to dial that in.

If you started out with damp soil it will take a while for the carrots to adjust and then start watering. It could go from nothing to WAY too much and it just takes the dampness or lack of the soil to trigger the watering.

You gotta keep your eye out and let it run its course and adjust so that the soil doesn't dry out.
