ifish is so damn intelligent when it comes to ratios and ferts, mans a genius. Chris is truly the one to thank for the Octopots, he invented them, us Michiganders are not to shabby lol

@ifish you got me thinking ! Mapito !
I’ll try a side by side grow next run I’ll do the same strain in an Octopot with rockwool ( mapito lol)
I imagine ph would be different then my normal 6 to 6.3
Also wondering about how much to use
The large Octopot takes 6 plus gallons of promix once filled
I normally don’t fill it all the way
Worried about it wicking up like the promix
? Will it get way too wet at the top or will it soak up too much or not enough
I guess that’s what the experiment will tell
I know @Jetdro will say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. But this could be fun
I believe roots move more freely through rockwool so it may get interesting 
What do all you OG’s think
Inquiring minds need to know

Veg and stretch 5.6 ph
Flower 5.8 ph
Even when wet rookwool has the best air to water ratio
Plus octos use gradient from bottom feeding just like my crates
@Jetdro is going for it to , let the games begin : )
Rookwool must be set to 5.6ph so pm me when ready and I explain

Cool I’ll start it when I set up the next run
I know it’s reusable which is a big plus

Week 5.5 in flower in the Octopot
Feed. Mix 10/30/20 and 5/12/26 equal parts should = 1/4/4 npk
with a shot of molasses
Well did she like that one I swear that almost over night she got sticky as cotton candy
And in comparison to the plants I’ve grown from the mom it seems she’s finally at home
You need to treat this one separately from the rest
And longer veg time for her roots to hit the reservoir
I noticed as she was getting established in the Octopot when her roots where moving down towards the reservoir she hated it ( needed to spray her with foop ) once roots hit reservoir wow what an improvement
So I started treating the one in the fabric bags ( 1 week in flower) differently
I bottom fed using a 1/4 of the water I normally use and my soil moisture meter and once the water was sucked up I measured where the water reached and at what rate of saturation added more till it reached the appropriate area ( pure guess on my part ) and she’s happy happy using less is always better
Octo - Frankie so far
•buds are bigger
•stickier at this stage then ever
And looks so much better then iv ever seen her
No yellow ,bent down ,sad leaves
Happy happy smiling plant woo hoo

Are you sure this isn’t a 1/3/3 ratio? Am I doing my math wrong again?

Add some pk 13-14 to boost feed to 1/4/4
Say w3-4 you at 700ppm
Then w5 + you want to up ppm
Just keep base the same ppm and top up with pk to push ratio and ppm

I did jump up to 950 ish may be a little lower with Frankie she likes the boost

Yes I am!! Lol. Wanted to give you my finding on my real world experiment.
Plant 1- Trimmed everything except the top 3 flower sites. Too much at once and stunted the plant.
Plant 2- Trimmed to top 5 sites
Plant 3- Didn’t touch
With this cultivar, plant 2 was the big winner. Almost doubling the usable bud from plant 3.
