Awesome man they will adjust just fine in there. You saved yourself a lot of time wish I would of started in a octopot. If that the final tent your going to want to manage the height or do some type training. Did you follow the octopot planting guide? Just one top watering
When I think Octopots I think of @Papalag . Perhaps he can pop in and comment.
He a load of advice. And all around good person. I think the octopot are starting to spread out been seeing more and more lately
Ty @DougDawson
Any questions just ask I’ll be happy to help
Lol he would actually be the reason I even went with octopots saw the grows asked some questions ended up buying them like the next week.
I see the water level is a bit high have the roots hit the reservoirs yet ?
If not only fill to the first level line to force the roots to find the reservoir
Good luck
Paps
Thank you for growing and starting a thread!
The lights seem a bit overkill to me, one will do until they get big, will save you a few bucks on electricity.
What’s the reason for waiting until roots find the reservoir?
Cheers
It will force them to find water by traveling downward towards the reservoir
If you fill the reservoir they have no reason to travel towards the water
You want root build up in the reservoir
This will make for a bigger plant
Big roots big plant
Also it’s the way there designed to feed the plants from the roots in the reservoir
Paps
Should I remove some ? I was going off of their YouTube video said halfway so I assumed 3 of the 6 gals
It would be better
If it’s easy enough to do
It’s more effective to use the lower level till the roots hit the reservoir ,
it should only take 15 to 20 days to reach the reservoir
How old is the plant ?
How ma days has she been in the Octopot?
What medium are you using?
What fertilizer?
Just curious
Notes
• only top water when you transfer plant into Octopot ( this is the only time you top water
• fill to first level till roots hit res ( then fill as desired)
• check PH every time you water ( keep between 6 to 6.3)
•let reservoirs empty before feeding again
•feed every time you fill reservoirs
Remember less is better
•Keep ppms low in the early stages

Lol you’d have a better idea on actual age of the plant than I would its GMO and Cap Junky clones. They were just transferred Saturday in fox farms soil. After I get all the use of the nutes from the soil ill start on a Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Feed schedule.
happy frog soil sorry forgot to add that
I’m pulling up my comfy chair with my favorite smoke and adult beverage. I just bought an octopot (being delivered Thursday). I will try it out in my auto tent. I started out doing DWC but switched to coco. One reason I switched was when plants got big the only option I found to support them was yo-yos. Hate yo-yos. At least with coco I can use bamboo stakes.
Good growing ya’ll
Smib
Great new clones just added to the fabric bag ok lower the water level to the first level line
They should take up to 20 days to reach the reservoir
GMO and cap junky seems to be a slow grower I’ve got them in vegg now as moms
Paps
alright I’m gonna lower the level thanks for the advice.
How the grow going
