I got my micro octopots recently

Take a look at @GrouchyOldMan 's auto topoff setup for the micro octos. i REALLY like the execution (kinda like a multi-bucket RDWC / DWC thing). Float valve sits in its own “tub”, all tubs are same level, water always finds its own level. No roots in the float valve tub to create accidents. I’m even looking at that design and thinking add nutes to the float valve res for all, and with a small enough pump you could have a slow drip top feed.

Some plants are super thirsty. I have a frankenstein cutting, well now its a bush, here, and she easily drinks a gallon a day (full reservoir), so its either refill daily (currently), or modify to the auto topoff and mainly deal with nutes.

I do have the automatic watering setup I bought and haven’t used yet and thought about if I could rig it up to the pots somehow.

I wanna know how you get those perfectly shaped, baby blue buds.

Micro Octopot Grow

Octo Auto Fill System Hola Amigos, I received my Octopuppy 2-pack from the Amazonians and decided to convert one of the new pots to an auto fill system. I have this ridiculous Acapulco Gold SativaGirl who towers over everyone else in the room at six feet plus. She is drinking her 1-gallon rez dry nearly every day lately so hooking her up to auto fill will test the concept and make my life simpler. Here’s an annotated “How To” picture show. Here’s what comes in the box. I haven’t found any n…

Step by step how to do it. I know “auto topoffs” make people nervous, and for good reason, failures = floods. But his method with the float in its own pot, and all octos on the same level as the “float pot”, he eliminates a lot of the failure points (roots cause all kinds of problems.). I really see this method as a viable, and rather safe topoff setup… And if your plants require the same nutes, even makes that easier!

Ya gotta be careful with those. I heard if you light em up they really ARE fire! And don’t pack em in a bong!

[BigMike55]

Yeah. With an explosive head rush.

I’ve read through that before and planned to brush up on it again before running them. Definitely some good info in there. I’m both looking forward to using those pots and at the same time feel like I’m a beginner grower to some extent. Feeding through the reservoir is a little different than rarely feeding at all

Just make it a scheduled thing. Tues / Sat are my fert days. I use the FF trio when top watering soil, but there’s solids in that that I wouldn’t feel disperse thru the system easy enough. Advanced Nutrients has a bloom / micro / grow trio that I have used with success in the solo micro octos, and I think will lend itself well to the distributed water version… I literally just mix up 1g water, 14ml of bloom, 14 of grow and 14 of micro. When I set this up as a connected system the res will be a bit larger and I will put a small air pump in there for circulation and just adjust for the gallons there. Then just add straight to that res the adjusted amounts.

That was a cutting from the “Bic Plant”! (runs before slapped for initiating Dad-joke supremacy)

am I the only one that has “water only” days versus feed days?

I feed daily and then water only when I run out of a nute batch. Often what happens is I end up with 1/2-1/4 of what I need to water that day in my nute bucket so I top-it off with water making a diluted solution which then acts as a salt-flush when then used (as flushing works best with a very mild nutrient solution versus just plain water)

So far so good and I haven’t gotten a lock out yet

@Pigeonman

No. For me those days are Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun and Mon

[Pigeonman]

@Nagel420

No.

Took the boat out for a few hours. Nice and calm.

No fish, but the boat ran great.

My wife asked if I would hate her for going to sleep early. I told her she didn’t need to go to bed early for that.

Sleeping on the couch tonight.
