Th34v4t4r's D.I.Y. Octopot Shananingans

News update. Well not much if an update... I've made some tea... and added it to my res and soils accordingly.

The growth the past few days had been phenomenal.. on 2 of my beautys... so I can only suggest we have corrected our issues.. we are growing. Not amazingly fast but faster then before... and the roots in the hydro I fucking massive one is the length of my arm doubling back on its self..

The transplanted plant looks in a bad way however... She's very droopy and in shock. I can only hope she pulls through and makes it into the drink..
Also there has been loads of purple but it grows out and goes green quick.. I think it's new growth just bursting out.

Xtreme tea I will get a bubbler for the future brews

 

[Kongfuzi]

Told ya man.

 

[Th34v4t4r]

I'm just waiting for them to explode in growth now kong. Here hoping..
.but you didn't tell me what goes on the leaves need watering down 1 cup to a gallon lmao...

Might have gave my leaves some nute burn with direct application

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Well we are on day 50veg... super stunted for thier age hey... well anyway never mind.. I'm going to give then 20 more days.. see what how bug they can get then flip them regardless of size..

I'll be going on holiday in March so if I flip them when I intend then they will be on thier last res of water only and when I come hone I'll get to go to sleep and wake up and cut em down...

I'm going to get a few new seed to start off as well so we can get some going mid flower

 

[Th34v4t4r]

So I've repotted 2 into bigger pots and the one repotted the other day has been tossed in the trash. There wasn't so many complications this time. I folded the pots down and got some netting around the soil then lifted it into it's new pot... hopefully all is well and they Bioth find the water.. I say Bit h cause the other one that was in the water has been reported into a bigger pot as I was worried about the over saturation of water on the sides.. be a week probably till those roots touch down again

 

[StoneOtter]

Nice

 

[notechvapor]

Looking good. I lst'd mine yesterday and with hours the middle filled in. Getting to the exciting stage now. Hoping to have at least one female in my grow, but I am learning either way and be ready to give my fem seeds all the correct things they need.

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Hey guys the girls seem to be doing okay. It's been a day or 2 since we prattedabout with them... they seem to be looking to the lights alot so bonus hopefully in a week we will see some roots drop down.

I've put a net over bothbplants to open them up again.. the inside shoots have stretched nicely. Hoping to see alot more stretching soon. 18 days and I flip regardless

 

[Mushie1005]

I think they are coming along nicely from what I can see

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Yh it they could be better. If I get an ounce dried off each plant at this rate I'll be lucky lmao... but all lessons learned.. next time round keep it all perfect 1st time around... straight into the hydro pots

Well see what happens... they have 2 nd half weeks to go for gold now no messing. They old enough lmao..

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Update time... first of all.. how we all been???

So I've check the pots today and we have some big thick curly mofos hanging down.. so we stepped into action..

We brought the ppm up to 1100.. cause it's time the has a kick... 10ml of calmag.. not alot just a little to make sure there's some there.. the rest is a+b about 60ml of each spread over 20+l

I've used up the last of the tea.. p.h to 6.2 dropped in the coco soil mix... shared the remain between the two and that is thier last ever top feed.. now the roots are back in the drink on both pots... we got around 2 weeks till we flip.. so how tall can we get in that time...

Any tips for getting them to grow taller with more space between nodes...??? Should I lift the light to make them pull up to it then I can drop it again??? This might make them stretch maybe.. ??

Temperature and humidity are well in that means .. other then abit of lstthere isn't alot to tell you now. Buzzing though

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Also. If they do burst and start filling the tent big time then I might push my dead line on. I'm in no actual rush, if they gunna stay stunted then I might as well flip them and be done with it but if they gunna finally monster out then I'll hang them in veg for a bit longer.. lmao. Choices choices

They are nowhere near bursting out the tent man. Give them 2 weeks. This is what busting out the tent looks like

When it looks like that then freak out lol

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Agreed. I'm just hoping for some actual growth kongfuz... like they so stunted it's unreal.. plus.. you have like 10 plants there lmao.

Now they in the drink all should be well now though. I can see them wanting to grow..

But will they?? Fuck knows.. I'm hoping for the best is all mate . I'd love my tent to be riddled and packed like yours. And it looks beautiful may I add I am jelous..

What you think I should do kong. Flip them in 2weeks or veg till they do somthing lmao

They going to stretch when in flower mode anyway arnt they

 

[Th34v4t4r]

In just think it's time to call it a day with these.. see what we get and get some fresh girls in. Inknow my setup now. So no fucking about.. just pot them and walk away.

 

[Th34v4t4r]

I thought I posted a picture ofnthe root but didn't lmao.. here we are...


The roots seem to grow more then the top lmao

Also since I sorted the resevoirs out earlier, lots of new purple growth has pumped out turning green. To be fair I think the next few weeks are going to be a good few

[Th34v4t4r]

I'm buzzing thier drinking up like fuck we've got a few roots touched down and there is actually loads of new growth. I keep fucking and weaving, I'm excited. But I know that they should be good for at least 5 days . Most I will have todo is check that p.h don't fly up it tends to go from 5.5 to 7.0 in like 5 or 6 days. I'll check it in 2 or 3 but for now I really just want to stay out of there.. only good things can happen right haha...

 

[Th34v4t4r]

Soivejust been reading through this with the octopot.

The high performance method in particular..

Am I right in thinking that those levels are higher and higher lines... establish a root zone nice spread and keep the lvls as low as possible???. Starve the roots downwards then fill it right up so they can drink ten fold... I suppose that would make sense.

I guess I'll let these drink dry pretty much for a week or 2 then.
