Here are a couple more substantial threads on the micro-Octopot system:

Micro Octopot Grow

This will be a diary of testing my DIY micro octopot setup. My tiny grow tents just don’t have enough height to use full size octopots, but I came across this cheap auto watering basin that looked like it could be used exactly to make a mini system just like the original. Unsure if it will work, but let’s find out! The details: 2x2 tent Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED light lights set to 18/6 1/2 gallon fabric pot, modified to hold a 3” net pot in the bottom. potting-soil/coco/perlite mix. mephis…

The Spice must grow. Blessed be the Little Maker!

Been kicking around an idea since seeing @firehead s thread. So Im shamelessly stealing. Brown rez are ~1gall. 3" net cup graphed on 1gall cloth /knockoff airpot above at 2.5gall.

Micro Octo prep [20210808_155616] 3 screws to hold the 2gal in place - from the bottom [20210809_161911] Small felt flaps- seems like minimum wicking. [20210809_161843] [20210808_160524] Plenty sturdy - not using the 3 lid support posts (or the wicks) included in the micro Octo kit. I’ll add wicking if needed.

This is the lazy man’s DIY mini octopot system, about $10 per pot!
