Day 31 after flip
Frost is starting to build up and sparkling
The lemon gas is doing the same as the last run ( back right side ) tall long stems filling in nicely but seems to be developing faster ( maybe the new jacks feed ? )
Buds on all at this stage are hard to the touch and when you smell you’re fingers they stink lol
I see less stress then last time and much better color ( less N at this stage ) the 1/3/2 ratio seems to work
Last feeding was yesterday I filled the back 2 plants up to the level of the front 2 ( the back 2 are feeding much faster and planing to switch the ratio to 1/3/3 at the beginning of 6 till end of 7 ) so I’m trying not to give them more then they’ll use in 4 days or so then with the mute change I’ll fill the Rez
The Atf x nl5 is a shorter plant but is going to be a bud beastie ( first time growing this one )
Jetdro’s hgk x gogi is keeping up with lemon gas ,tall lanky,
Looks like it will yield well ( first time growing this one )
Shiva dawg is far different this time harder buds and a better look then the last time ( I feel it takes time to know a plant need to run them 3 times before you get to know what’s she’s like ) I’ve run her 3 times I have seeds and will retire the mom after this run for a while
Here some pics
First is shiva dawg ,next bud shot is lemon gas then hgk xgogi then atf x nl5
The purple sun looks cool
Peace

@saxo hay bro thanks for stopping by
Those girls do look good but can’t that too much credit the Octopots do all the work I just watch what they do lol
I’ve got my moms picked for the next 2 runs maybe this time I’ll be able to start the new grow once I harvest the current one
This is going to be the first Octopots grow that I’ve dialed in ( hopefully lol 
).

Just a few pics
Started feeding jacks a 50/50 mix of 10/30/20 and 5/12/26 for a 1/3/3 npk ( schedule listed above in thread ) they seem to love it and all are stacking nicely and frosty as fook the Atf x nl5 the buds are rock hard and you can ski down those leaves
Jets holy grail kush x gogi OG is beasting up expecting a good yield iv smoked it before thanks to my friend and very happy to have seeds for more fun in the future

Hey paps could I ask ya an octopots? ? I’ve got six plants I uppotted out of solo cups to 1/2 gallon container. I shoulda just gone into the new octos but I didn’t. I read in jetdros stuff it’s best go into octos outa solo cups. In your experience am I screwed? 
. Thanks buddy in advance

@Jjm hi bro
On an other sight I was the test case (guinea pig lol so to speak ) @jetdro
Would agree best quickest and most effective is from solo cups to Octopots just before the roots start to circle at the bottom of the cup
Being said i have up potted to a 1/2 gallon container from solo cup before Octopots to avoid the circling at the bottom (Octopots we’re still in flower )
No not screwed at all you’ll see better developments the sooner they go in
It’s a learning curve and timing
I tried cloning In it with that cloning plastic bag they offer didn’t work well one out of 4 rooted

Thanks buddy I love trying new things just didn’t have room for them in the octos at the time they were ready. I’m doing a seed run with these and really don’t want f them up😀. Thanks again for the help I read jetdros advice and was a lil worried. I also was a bit concerned I packed the soil a bit tight too. Loose has always worked for me but it was mentioned tight a few times.

You can always clone them now then that gives you 3 weeks to play with then cull the bigger plants once the clones root
That’s what I do
I run 8 moms if they get too big that’s what I do I just hate to kill perfectly good plants but I have minimal space
If I can help please just let me know
Peace

Changed over to 1/2/3 on the back 2 the front still had a gallon in them so tomorrow they should be near empty
The feeding schedule seems to agree with them , buds are rock hard and bigger then the last grow
I also see a nice fade beginning low n is the key
Pics soon
Peace

Hi all pic day
DY 52 after flip
Followed the feed schedule all plants are at 1/2/3 for npk Now my new ppm meter came in handy I learned that the measuring spoons may be off ( heavy hand vs light so to speak ) ppm was 910 on the to I filled and 825 on the back 2
I didn’t try to even it out just wanted to see what the push will do
@ifish if you can shout out if I’m wrong
Week 9 on the schedule showing an increase to 1.5 teaspoon per gallon of the 5/12/26
Question instead of the increase how about I add the meta k at this point they look close I was going to add this week but held off
Ok here’s some pics

Thanks my brother
There’s a big difference from last grow and this one
Buds are harder ,denser and fatter hopefully the yield will increase as well
I was looking bar the trichomes and the atf x nl5 look close as do the lemon gas they may go early but I won’t rush it

Its looking good for sure. Between you and jets grows with the octos i think im sold on them. Just waiting on my tax return to do a few upgrades to the grow.

They are well worth it I’ve grown in dirt for 10 years these Octopots are a new way to me and had a bit of a learning curve but with the help of some good friends and a little trial and error it gets better every time
I don’t grow as many plants but I do yield a hell of a lot more and less work

thought about giving this a try but i worry that when i have bad times with MS and my garden gets neglected the plants in soil can take a lickin and keep on tickin so to speak …how fast can things go wrong?

Hi there @riverlady
Ok this is my 3 rd run with them
Once the Rez is filled (6 gallon ) in veg a week between filling (feed every-time you fill the Rez)
In flower they can drink a gallon or better a day so depending on the strain
With what I use to feed I’ve had zero deficiency or issues I ph my tap water ( let the tap water sit of course for 24 hrs ) ph between 5.5 and 6.2 at all times
I’ve run the Rez dry for a day and nothing happened so far so good
Oh they do have a extra Rez to refill auto like
Thanks for stopping by
Peace
