The res has basic GH Flora Series 3-part nutes added. Right now about 550ppm, pH 6.3

It’s a water level indicator. Looks like a little plant 
has a float attached to bottom. So as water goes down, the plant goes down

Makes sense, guess I should have known that. Just after 3 and it’s already been a long ass day
You must have got the last reservoir on amazon. Theyre still out of stock!

Right here, bud! I shamelessly stole @firehead idea.
BTW, your progress is very much welcomed @firehead. You’re doing a fantastic job.

Today, noticed that the water level in the res is way down. Plant drinking a lot.
Also, noticing the roots starting to discolor. That’s got me a bit worried. I added 3ml of hydrogen peroxide to the res when I filled it.
Hopefully that will help.
Any octopot users notice root discoloration also? Is it normal? Or something to worry about?

Yes it’s normal and it depends on the feed

Ok. Good to know. I was wondering that too… the GH Flora Micro is very dark brown and it could definitely stain stuff brown.
I’m keeping a close eye on the roots. The plant looks super healthy though.

That’s it exactly my friend
If I use any molasses or humic acids it does the same thing

Paps, do you add the teas in the rezevoir or top feed them?
Only from the reservoir, you only water from the top at transplanting in to the Octopots !

Thanks! I like to give my plants recharge once a week. Was wondering about how to do that in this format.

If I’m going to give a special or specific item I either only fill the res with a gallon mix of that item (like tea or molasses base ) empty then back to the reg feed

The roots are discolored, but seems to be nute staining. Because they still look healthy and continue growing fast and furious.
And man, she looks happy.
So far this is a zero maintenance grow. No deficiencies or too much nitrogen, like I had with my coco/hydro setup. I don’t want to get excited too early, because there’s still a lot of time for things to go wrong… but this is looking like a really great way to grow.
