Indoor 4 strain run in Octopots.

[Yourztrulee]

Tent: 5'x5'.
Lights: Solor Storm 880, and 2 Auto Cobs.
Medium: Fox Farm Happy Frog/ perlite.
Nutrients: AN PH Perfect bloom.

Hola All!
This will be my first run with the Octopots. I started four seeds in shot glasses of distilled water. Soaked for 24 hours then planted directly to soil. I had a 100% germination rate. 1 Banana Blaze, 1 Purple Lemonade, 1 Lemon Pie, & 1 Purple Scoops. All seeds had broken the surface of soil on 10/4 . I struggle to keep consistent on my watering. Usually always have four different strains running, so water needs differ from plant to plant. Octopots are supposed to help with this as long as there's water in the reservoir....We shall see.

Six gallon grow sleave. Kind of an akward pic. The entire setup is 20 in tall. I have the tops of the bags rolled down a couple inches, and the soil is a couple inches below that.

there pretty cool to be honest kinda like the idea of having a pot that will do multiple sizes

I guess part of the reason of the bags being so tall is to give adequate time for The roots to get established in the soil before switching over to hydro once they hit the reservoir. Supposed to only do one initial top watering, then after that everything's wicked up from the reservoir.

yea i was going to mention it since its your first run i ran the autopots which it a wick system you dont put them on the rez until day 20 or so

Are you still running the auto pots? I thought about running those but I don't like the idea of having a gravity fed reservoir.

Hanging in the laboratory. Day 5.
I'm having to fight the urge to not top water these little girls. Per the instructions you are supposed to do one top watering in the beginning then just fill the reservoir, and keep it at level one on the float indicator.

Sry for the blurple.
