Oh yes sopping wet.
Very true if the roots don’t have access to oxygen.
Octopots are loose fitting, nothing about them is sealed tight, oxygen is everywhere.

Buds keep bulking up! Keep going, pack on the weight! Daddy’s jars are running low!

Upper cola leaves turning reddish. Probably light stress.
Lots of milky trichomes. A few turning amber already, but she still has 2 weeks to go (maybe 3?)

how’s she lookin?
Buds are really fattening up. Some of the side branches starting to droop a little under the weight. Top cola is looking great.
She’s drinking a ton now. Refilling res every other day.
I really wish I had started my LRxUV seeds sooner, because one of the males is looking and smelling real strong. Would have loved to have hit this Mango Smile gal with that pollen… but he won’t start dropping any for another week at least, and then she would need 3 more weeks for seeds to mature.
Don’t know if that’s gonna be possible. But I’m going to keep watching this male, and maybe miss mango is going to have to stick around for another 4-5 weeks if she looks like she can do it…

The mango smile is really bulking up. Some of the side branch buds are bigger than main colas on other plants I’ve grown, and this main cola is getting impressive!
The male LRxUV looks like he will drop pollen in the next 2 days or so. Fingers crossed these seeds go all the way to maturity!

The LRxUV male is done pollinating the Mango Smile female. He has been dropping pollen for the last 3 days, so today he went to the compost pile.
I’m going to keep her alive for another 3 weeks in hopes that some of the seeds ripen to maturity.

This is the most impressive autoflower I’ve grown yet. Could be partially the new light, could be the octopot. But mostly genetics. She’s impressive.
I think she’s gonna yield as much (or more) as some of my better photoperiod plants.

I agree with @Papalag
This system is really something special, and so easy. No root rot issues.

Really pleasing reading and glad for your success, double satisfaction I suppose as the brilliant idea was yours …

It’s just a waiting game now.
The plant does seem happier when I let the reservoir run dry. I think it helps dry out the root zone in the cloth pot a bit, and that seems to help her overall health… Just an FYI, for anyone planning to run a system like this.
These buds are dense too!

When you do fill the micro Octo res, how full do you usually fill it?
