I'm running octopots. There's a main reservoir (13gal), a control reservoir (3gal), and two plant reservoirs (6gal each). I just dropped my seeds last night, so there's no plant activity or anything. I used plain tap water and added h2o2 to the reservoir before opening the valves. The EC was...

Thankfully I’m not actually using that, it was just a test before I try planting. The salt pool is algae afaik or bacteria, the EC was only 0.8 and .25 of that is my tap water. The louder powder site says 1000ppm (500 scale) just for seedlings, which seems super high.

Hey guys, struggling to get my Octopot system up and running. I tend to overthink things and I just want to clarify some stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics attached are of a failed attempt and much has changed since them, but they illustrate a couple concerns. Light can get into...

Interesting. I'm running cutting edge louder powder. Their recommended feeding in a reservoir is higher than I fed last time hand watering, they do around 2 - 2.5 EC, 1400-1750 ppm (700 scale). I'd assume that's not considered "low EC nutrients". Any considerations there? I'm thinking I'm just...

I got an octopot system for my tents because hand watering was dumb. I’m going through the process in my head. It wicks up water from the res and makes sure everything is saturated. Awesome. But, what about runoff? It seems like there isn’t any? Is that ok? Do I still use cal mag? Do I need to...

Only if I touch them and smell my hand. When I open the tent it’s pretty neutral, lots of humidity and just plant smell. Might be nose blind.

Elev8 Megasonic. I can’t find much detail on this strain or even a grow log. 49 days since pistils. They started swelling about four or five days ago. Haven’t had much growth in 2-3 weeks tbh. Not getting those big donkey d colas that I used to, but that was 400W HPS and I somehow had a lot...

Thanks for that. VPD was something I've seen thrown around and I spent some time on it, but it didn't make sense to me. You just made it make sense. I'll get the RH down and check my leaf temp and try to start following VPD a little more.

I use mostly GH. My calmag is fox farms and yea I use that per the cocoforcannabis chart. Runoff has consistently been around +.2 to +.3 EC from inflow. I think I may just be stressing them out with my fertigation frequency changes. I feed them when I have time, might just not be often...

Haven't really paid attention to that, good thinking. 78f 67.7% lights on. 66f 79.6% lights off. I'm assuming my RH is too high, but I don't think that can cause this particular issue, you? I'll get it resolved to prevent future issues though.

They don't get dry at the top. I definitely do inconsistently feed, but it's at least twice per day. The tops are always moist, the outside of the fabric pots are always wet, and I still get runoff pretty quick. Next run will be with auto feeding because feeding by hand is balls, even with a...

This is the third time this grow that this has happened. I'm in week 6 of flower right now. Happened early veg, late veg, and now late flower. Eight week strain. I'm following cocoforcannabis nutrient guide to a T. They're in coco, hand watered at least 2x a day but usually 4-5, 20% runoff at...

I’m just using the cocoforcannabis guide.

silica, calmag, micro, gro, bloom, kool bloom, diamond nectar, wetting agent, h2o2

How do you make changes to the nutes throughout the grow?

For brevity let’s assume I’m mixing three GH nutes, micro flora and bloom. I know I can’t just put them all in and then mix, they have to go in order and be mixed individually in the reservoir. Though, can I set up a dilution assembly line? Put three containers in front of me, fill them each...

Just curious. Ignore the burn, problem was solved. I pulled all the real bad fan leaves. Five weeks since the flip, growing in coco 70/30 perlite, 300W led light, 3x3 tent. Next time I’m gonna just do two plants and I’ve learned a lot about training and topping so it’ll be much different...

I'm afraid of my DIY skills with a potential 30 gallon leak on my floor, but I am still looking at some DIY stuff.

I plan on switching over to 2 plants next grow. VA only allows 4 plants and my wife wants me to stay in the law, so I'm going to just do a second veg tent and keep them coming. Four plants was definitely a little large for the tent.

I'll have to do a little more research, looks great, just doesn't seem like they have a bundle for a 3x3 tent. Looking at their site it seems like they sell everything separate and it's just a flood table, so shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the info.
