Johnnypotseed’s 3-ring circus - with autos, photos & sex…reversals, that is! (Part 2)

I was leaning towards the sleeve setup

Amazon has a 12 - 3gal or 12 - 6gal setup for like $100

edit correction it’s a 6 pot setup for $69.99 or you can buy 2 to make 12 pots for 99.99

@Nagel420 i’m excited. I know it was a good deal. For someone to take time to make us feel special is what I like. I enjoy everything that I get from the people here. I think Johnny is a great guy I think this is a very good deal not to pass up on

Good Morning Mr.Johnny and OGers! Traveling over the weekend wiped me out so I managed to sleep in a bit.

Air-pot instead of fabric pot = still breathes but lasts longer, stronger and no chance of molding or rotting out. They are also very stable and do not flop around if you don’t pack em correctly.

Fallponics + Air-stones = I’ve seen so many folks have root issues after a time using Octopots; I applied the lessons learned in hydroponics and RDWC and applied them. The fallponics ensures the solution is always mixing, oxygenated and agitated, and the air stones increase this effect while also drawing in cold air from the air pump left right next to a basement window.

(*yes, this is a lot of “faffing” around; but the hope is that all i need to do is plant, train and adjust feed and the rest is like a Ronco rotisserie)

The ‘12’ was what they have in stock

Yeah you can build it sooooo much cheaper than that if you’re willing to do the extra work.

Now you see why so many people are doing the minis… I think you could do @Pigeonman 's design better (than the purchased octopot @ $69) and cheaper too

Yeah mine was overkill for 1x plant. This was to fill 1/2 of a 4x4 with 1x plant; or eventually 1x 4x4 with ONE plant.

@JohnnyPotseed , it’s a part of my main thread and it’s getting planted tonight as I found pistil’s in my BOG SourBluTooth F2 from @corey .
