Has anyone done this? Alternative Octopot Grow Bag

So I got the other two bags done this past weekend. Hole for Hydro Wick and 8 grommets each.
I’m very hopeful for these Rain Science grow bags.
Based on @Mr.greenbee positive experience in his current grow, I should be happy. If this works, I’ll just save the 3 unused Rocket sleeves for backups, if needed.

This time I used my large reuseable Big Red Cup as template. Perfect fit with NO additional trimming. Sweet!


Lots of Hydro Wick to grow bag area to let roots through with no fabric folds to get in the way. Roots should come through both the cup of the Hydro Wick and through the flat surface as well. In my last grow with Rocket sleeve there was quite a bit of roots coming through, I expect this to work better. Fingers crossed!


In these last photos, if you look closely you can see I’ve inserted the Hydro Wick on top of the 5-gallon bucket to stabilize the grow bag to template and check fit prior to cutting.

One of these Rain Science bags are definitely going to be used in my upcoming 2x2.5 grow…
