To day the temperature is 81 degrees fFahrenheit
And 92 % humidity
The heating pad is on a timer
They where a little limp today so I sprayed them down
I fine the clones like an occasional spray of captain Neptune kelp
Those pipe cleaners color code your plants lol

I do the same thing with colored zip ties. Easier to get them tight and just cut them off when I transplant.

Interesting. I just coat the stems, don’t do a soak in the gel. I wonder how they would compare side x side.
You getting 7-10 days on roots consistently? Or is it running longer. I’m at 2 weeks+ and hoping I can get that down closer to 7-10 days more consistently.

Depending on the strain between 8 and ten if they root easy
Some harder to root plants can take 10 to 14
I always plan on 10 days to root

Broken open
Not sure why but I was afraid of that happening these buds are fat and hard
Air flow is good
Examined all buds sights no more to be found

It looks like rot to me. That’s surprising though, because it doesn’t look all that close to finishing. If you can check the roots, I wonder if it might be having problems down South.

It does look like classic rot but I wonder if it just stopped growing/dying off instead of actual rot 
I had almost a whole auto do this but no mold or anything, I just fried the crap out of it. I still vaped all the bud without any issues at all. Could tell it wasnt normal, but it wasn’t bad. Maybe edibles or sift would be better tho.

What’s your watering schedule with the Octopot? I have really good results with my Airpots but having a half soil half hydro system without any of the work of hydro is really intriguing. I give my plants minimum nutes and lean hard on the soil so Hydroponics where you’re constantly adding nutes isn’t my thing. Is it basically a soil grow with a water reservoir or are you treating the water too?
I agree with bud rot had it in my (forever 
) last outdoor grow and looks the same 
,
hope it is just that bud, humidity with the Octopots must be high, I would try to lower it …

Every time I you fill the res you feed the soil I use has no nutritional value
So I control what they get
It’s continuously feeling

Thanks @George I’m increasing air intake and added fans let’s hope

I’m tempted to see how I’d make out going the other way with it leaning on the soil and watering/light feeding through the reservoir. Might have to give one a go next time out.
