Greetings @Syn, very nice grow and commentary to go with it! Well Done.
Iām curious about your reflections on the OctoPot system. Some specific questions:
-
In the end, when the dust settled, did you see the āTwo Root Systemsā one down in hydro and a second up in the soil that this system is touted to produce?
-
Youāve got a magnificent tent ready to harvest. Were the plants Bigger, Healthier, most Buddulacious than your previous grows?
-
Are OctoPots a good call? It boils down to that.
Cheers,

Hi @GrouchyOldMan if @Syn donāt mind me stepping in
Before I switch over I grew 9 plants in 3 gallon fabric bags scrog style
I have never achieved the type of yield I get now in the same tent with only 4 plants instead of the 9
Any where from 7 to 10 oz per plant now
Iāve been using them now 4 years and have been growing in all forms of soil for 18 years plus
I find it to be the easiest system to grow in , it truly is set and forget
I find the hardest thing is to leave it alone
You can fill the reservoir and go away for a week during veg and not worrying about it
I only use promix and perlite and feed every fill
Peace
Paps
Sorry for the hi jack

Easier to feed, more roots, faster growth, larger buds, no gnats, love these octopots.

So the only thing Iām having trouble finding now are the sealed planter buckets for those mini octopots. I am really looking forward to giving them a go in a setup I have a mind. Thank you again to whoever shared that idea!

I was thinking they sent me a list and I didnāt save it to my Amazon lol. But was able to find most everything else at a local hydro store. They didnāt have the planters I needed. Everything else was on sale.

If I remember correctly, he used a 1 gal fabric pot and cut the bottom to put an airpot in.
Maybe Iām thinking of a different version from you.

Hereās the link to my experiments with the micro octopots (octopups, as @GramTorino named them)
I am using 1/2 gallon cloth pots. But I think Iām going to go up to 1 gallons for my future runs.

I think a 2 gal might be better more space to wick

Wish I was in a place to take advantage of the deal, but I just spent about that much on a bunch of General Organics nutes, and I donāt think they would work with this system. I figure Iāll go full on Athena when I take the plunge into the Octo zoneā¦
I cannot imagine the smell of the VEG nutes in a reservoir. OMG and the slime buildupā¦just plain gross.
