If the rest of the grow goes well, I cant see ANY reason to ever go back to the Octopot bags. These Rain Science bags are wildly superior, and easily modified with a 4" hole in the bottom.
Root growth is starting to reach insane pace. I’m getting really excited for this one! Just came home to see this in my reservoir. Each day changes significantly.
Looking at Blue Dream and Skywalker OG, the roots werent quite as aggressive as these.
Electrify grow was full of roots in the reservoir, but that was a cutting in Octopot. From planting cutting in Octopot to the below photo, was 49 days. Lets see how LSD looks on day 49 from day seedling popped. LSD is on Day 27 from first popping up. Another 22 days… Someone remind me to get a photo of the roots on that day. May 9th.
Probably not a fair fight since cuttings should root more aggressively than seeds, I believe.
Wondering if I should go full strength nutrients next feeding? Definitely going to keep up with weekly dual Athena foliar treatments as well as occasional Foop spraying as a treat.
Ended up taking off a bunch! Saving the ends for later. FIrst mains level is just about there, but second level needs at least a few more days, I think.
Should happen by this weekend. At that point, Its “off with their tops!”
Plan is to run 8 mains with possible side branching.
For those who’ve followed my grows so far, things just… DONT go to plan, But, there is always hope .
I think this should work out.
At least the deformation didnt go crazy and I was able to work around it. In fact, that kinda pushed me to go more mainline.
Couple of youtube shout-outs…
Gotta mention this guy - https://youtu.be/3vWL756OrMw?si=lbmo-G2_tpprPf75
Hyperactive Highs. He does some cool grows, and has the “Modified Mainline” thing down. Lots of good info in his vids.
Octogrower is a good one as well. Pretty much the only guy who shows “how to” from start to finish. Made it easy to follow a from seed germination in Octopot.
Here we are, Day 34 from seed. Day 28 from seedling. Day 10 veg.
Looking… Well-groomed
Gonna give her a feeding this weekend. May go full-strength.
Big RO Water makin weekend coming up… I really gotta try a side by side from clone Tap water vs RO water grow in the 2x4. Really.
So, I fucked up after last nights T&T session, and left the light in ON mode . Turned her off this morning around 6:30am. Gonna leave her off for at least a couple of hours so she gets some rest
There’s my 8 baby Mains…
I’m having to force them to twist the right way. The mutated growth crushed my groove. This one is vertical and needs to lay horizontally.
Gave LSD a feeding today. Mixed two gallons at 1.9EC and Took her to 1.4EC after mixing with the gallon or so left in the res. Still a bit low, especially compared to the 2.1EC Full-strength recommendation. We’ll see what happens. She’s up to 3rd line on reservoir.
Does the res have air stones? I saw a setup similar to this, it was more like net pots and dwc but the bubbles caused the surface to sort of fizz and splash up onto the bottom of the pots so they got some moisture but they weren’t sitting in it.
@supersecretjim your user name reminds me of someone who signed up on the original Overgrow but didn’t really understand how it worked. His real name was Dave Collins and he signed up as Dave Collins like it was Facebook and he started posting grow diary pictures with his face in. Then he freaked out when he realised what he’d done so he contacted the mods and they changed his name to “Not Dave Collins” and somehow he seemed happy with this.
No Air Stones. Straight-up RO water & nutes.
Ive kinda thought about that as well… In flower, its not an issue. Water level moving too quickly. In Veg like now, Ive heard of people putting hydroguard in it. I took my first by cutting, no prob. The two in my 2x4 from seed, no issue. Everything seems good in this 2x2… Thats the beauty of the Octopot system… No power needed.
Dont over-think it
Thats a user name I came up with many, many years ago when I first created my online yahoo profile. I was pressed with having to come up with a user name, watching Secret Squirrel at the time…
