I run I think a 6’ ugly stick with medium/heavy weight. 80lb braid because I would break anything lighter than that. Usually use 3oz pancake weights but go up to 5-6oz depending on the flow.
Shimano Baitrunner is my favorite reel for catfishing. It allows you to sit back and chill until the action happens.
Happy thanksgiving brother!! Hope you get fat, happy and stoned immaculate!!

Still haven’t filled the reservoir, but I think tonight’s the night. Will start everyone off with 1 gal. water w/ labs

Have you guys seen the XL self watering base from ac infinity by chance? They hold 2.25 gallons, and will run anywhere from 3-10 gallon fabric pots. I like the idea of them a lot. I’ll be curious to see what you guys think, and if you guys have experience with them at all?
Vassar’s fiddle head is just out of frame in the cover shot. It’s nice!
That’s a thing of beauty!!
Mornin’ @IgrowBodhiandCSI Ive never used Octopots before, but maybe @BarefootAndBlazed or @Papalag can chime in on their experiences. Good luck!
I’ve only used the larger Octopots: 6 gallon reservoir with 6 gallon fabric pot on top. My goal is to keep things simple in my garden. Fewer waterings and the ability to leave things unattended for days if I need to go out of town are the big advantages - that, and the plants just love them and explode with growth! There is a smaller Octopot available - around the size of the AC Infinity model mentioned - which I believe @Papalag has used. You can also hook them up to a larger external reservoir with the right plumbing connections, but I’m striving for fewer points of failure…
The plants can get huge! Here are a couple Consumption x Chocolate Thai with a Lemon Wookie V2 on the right filling a 4x8:
The manufacturer does not recommend super soils in Octopots. I use straight ProMix HP (High Porosity - lots of perlite) for media, and feed Jack’s nutes via the rez.
Morning to you good sir. I was asking about the ac infinity self watering pots 
And a good day to you, sir. They are basically Octopots from my understanding.
Ahh ok ok I see I thought I wrote the wrong thing and got insecure . I think these ac ones sit more flush on top with a wick system , where as octopods will require a hole in your pot and a disc to sit in the water .
I don’t use them but I’m a big fan of bottom watering the plants love it
Octopots have a bigger reservoir ( 6 gallon)
And can be left alone for a week with no issues
Correct 
octo’s fave a net pot which sits in the reservoir
Yeah I just don’t love the cutting a hole in a pot idea.
For the past 3 weeks, the SIPs have been quietly fermenting as they charge up for round two. They have been re-amended with Gaia Green, Diatomaceous earth, worm castings, rice hulls, bokashi and malted barley. I have been brewing a Jadam Microbial Solution each week, for the past couple of weeks and hitting the soil with a gallon at full strength. The soil should be super charged at this point so I’m expecting round two to be even better than the first!
We all like what we like
Octopot are designed so the roots grow into the res as I believe the ac units you have
I may buy a pair just to do a side by side to see the results
Papa
Thank you @BarefootAndBlazed and @Papalag for chiming in with your experiences!
Really nice soil love the funky good healthy look
