I think that might have been me Jet. The idea was to avoid confusing these one gallon octos with the trademarked version.

Sorry, @GrouchyOldMan i couldn’t remember who dubbed them that. And also @Jetdro, if you have interest in the mini versions, you should check out the octopup autofill system grouchy came up with. It’s amazing!

I have octopots and the room for them, just curious is all. They look cool

Yeah, if you have the room… they are the way to go. I made the mini version because of my height restrictions. My little 2x2 tents are only 55” high, and sometimes plants hit the lights at the top. Full size octopots are just too tall for my situation

Don’t know why
The kits are dear to buy for what they are and harder to diy , maybe that’s why
Easier to buy a bucket and just dwc I suppose
Maybe cuz harder to keep shallow Rez cool in hotter environments idk

The roots of the Point Break x Lebanese Black babies are just hitting the reservoirs. Should be some explosive growth in next 3 weeks, then I will switch to flower and seed making!
The two plants on the right are probably males, because they were so aggressive from the start. But the one in the back has a much stronger root system (another thing I like about octopots… seeing the root health) so he might be the only male I use

Updates on the Point Break x Lebanese Black babies, getting ready for the seed run.
Using GH Flora series nutes again, because I have better luck with it.
Reservoirs currently at 850ppm / 5.9pH
- A bit of a runt. But maybe just a slow starter. Stem has gotten much thicker in last 2 days.
- Decent, but slow-ish growth.
- A beast! I think it a male. It has the strongest roots of all the plants so far. Chunky and healthy.
- Really a runt. Wrinkled leaves, and maybe won’t be used in breeding.
- The second most impressive one, next to 3. Real nice. Im hoping it’s a female
- Tall. Stretchy internodes. But very weak root system. I think it’s a male, but he might not be used for breeding… we’ll see
Gonna let them veg for another week or two, then flip to flower

Maybe someone will find this useful. This is a prototype made with a not very suitable blade. It can easily be done much better

The PBxLebB babies are starting to explode. So I switched them to 12/12 yesterday. I don’t remember getting much stretch from these last time. I hope that’s true or it’s gonna get real crowded in here…

PBxLebB just showing sex.
1 = f
2 = m
3 = m
6 = f
5 = f
4 = ??
3 female, 2 males, and the one super runt plant still not showing. But its root system is so weak… it’s probably gonna get chopped today anyway.
The 2 males are both very nice, robust plants.
1 of the females is an oddball (6)… very stretchy and tall, but we’ll let her stay I think, cause she’s very nice.
