Greetings Octopoddlers,
I’m just starting an experiment on different soil mixes in the micro octopups.
Clockwise from the lower left, %Perlite - %Promix
1 - 60% - 40%
2 - 50% - 50%
3 - 40% - 60%
4 - 25% - 75%
You can see the decreasing amount of Perlite in each pot. The netpots are filled with the same blends and packed fairly firmly. Three gallon fabric pots, about 11 inches high including the air gap as @ifish suggests.
Plants 1-3 are Orange Grove (thx @JustSumTomatoes), number 4 is Orange Grove x GG#4 (gracias @floyd!).
Question: If you actually do the experiment is it still “Bro-Science?”
Cheers,
-Grouchy

Thanks Brother!
Notice Floyd’s OGxGG4 is almost twice as tall, might be an opportunity to chase that tall pheno we’ve been looking for?

You’re going to love it and get spoiled!! It is great watering once a week!! But you need to start planning now, on how you will contain the plant. They get out of control in a hurry!

I wanted to get the autofill and buy 4 but i have my little 4x4 that im vegging in , and i just bought a 4x8 that im going to flower in so i wasnt sure how i would move the pots from the veg to flower area, so i only bought one to see how it goes, i really am excited tho seeing how everyones grows are turning out with them seems really nice

Hey how come your octopup is tan? I would have take tan if offered!
Somehow I missed the deeper net idea unfortunately cause I probably would have ran with that.

Well I’ll be damned. That’s a hopeful sign that they’re producing more of them so they don’t go out of stock for months again.

I think when they originally made them I bet they didn’t think that there would be such a demand from the home grow community

If they did they could streamline their production costs and ditch the wicking stuff that comes with them. It’s funny to think about how they saw them fly off the shelves and were probably pretty curious when they suddenly got so popular
