Tent dwellers. Day 94.

GG4 on left, runoff very high,. 3 gall with florakleen to bring it un er Ec 1.

GG4 is ripening up.

.
Will give recharge in 1 hr.

Overall they look well. Verdant. I’d be happier if the got a move on and mature. Supposed to be 75 days strains.

But, I’ll have flower so I can’t squawk.

Been kicking around an idea since seeing @firehead s thread. So Im shamelessly stealing.

Brown rez are ~1gall. 3" net cup graphed on 1gall cloth /knockoff airpot above at 2.5gall.

Any reason it won’t work on a Coco and megacrop grow?

This is fascinating. How did you attach the net cup to the bottom of the air pot?

Thanks

lol, basically an octopot by another name. 3" net cup will be filled with expandd clay pellets. the tupbe thing will he packed with coco and perlite and the brown rezervoir filled with megacrop water

I wired them in. the tube has holes. the wire pierces the felt cloth pot easily.

Gordy fell asleep while trying to find jus one more piece of food in his bowl! Lol

thank you very much!!

So… the air pot… you flipped it inside out?
Normally the outward facing cones have the tips cut off… :thinking:
That sort of makes sense to me for an octopot configuration. What size is it?

no sir. these are 2.5gall aeropot knock offs I picked up in amazon. 6 for 26 bucks. I just didnt use the included base but eyeballed the dimension of a 1 gallon fabric pot I cut and grafted to it with wire. the base rez hole is almost 3" so the net pot fits reasonably well.

honestly I’m not convinced I’d see any benefit on these over just plain drain to waste high freq top feed that I’m already setup for. I already get giant plants out of 1.3gall white pots I’m using right now.

Well, I’m really interested in seeing how they work out.
There are a few folks here that are strong advocates of Octos…
I was fired up - until I found out they were not available in Canada… :unamused:

I’ll set it up and do a test run and see how I like it. I am happy with the results I’m getting now, the 3x3 is the max I’ll go in size so bigger plant is not a goal really. just tinkering with thing.

in theory an octopot is not that complicated. the grow media container just dips into a res. this one dude in reddit got almost half a kilo of a meph auto.

other, other link

but he’s rez is larger, so I have mixed feelings about my 2.5gal over 1 gall rez. maybe I’m a little too greedy with my sizes. the top feed is a known quantity.

On the other hand, octopots are 6gall over 3 so maybe 2gall over 1 might be a decent reduction.

I’m conflicted.

Welp, crap day.

We’ve had storms. power flickered a couple of times. Went to check on the plants. Made a new rez for the autos. Photos closet is dark. I powercycle it and it comes back strobe like. Insta headache. Driver capped out. Very strange. Second driver in the same closet.

Moved the photos to the tent. I’m going to flip them to 12/12. The autos will have to deal.

Tent dwellers. When I moved them I flopped the highest stems of the sebring’s Revenge plant. Lost one, snapped off in my hands, don’t know my own strength apparently… :joy:

Well, the seem to like the new digs. They’re choking out the autos. But the gg4 has another week and can deal. Lemon, I don’t really care. It’s done when it’s done.

I’d rather be lucky than good any day, I’ll tell you what… :joy:

Very kind and appreciated!

Monday morning update.

Tent dwellers.

Photos are exploding. Only day 4 of flower. Will have to drop them down in a couple of days.

I’m not too happy about how megacrop/bud explosion and sea k are making my rez muddy. But the plants look happy so… .

4 days ago.

Today.

Jack Herer on left, Gg4 on right.

Sebring’s Revenge went nuts.

GG4 day 103.

I see mostly cloudy trichs. I’ll check again this weekend.
