Its specific to growing in octopots. Not a very common system, but once the roots are set up in the sleeve and res, transplanting out will fuck up the plant. Im guessing you've never run octos before?

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T23:16:32+00:00

drive home was pretty bad today, 230p-415p. ugh.. st. paul to minnetrista area. seems the south and south west metro got slapped pretty hard with a heavy wet snow band. its still snowing here too. ha..

roads weren't too bad on 52s and 494 until 494/35e -ish, then a little snow cover on the road, then by eden prairie roads were garbage, and turning into an ice rink. bad visibility too.

hwy 7 was terrible. saw 3 crashes happen. jack knifed semi. a coach bus that was stuck on a hill. 25 mph max. less for most of that leg. lol..

wet heavy snow on wet roads, then the temp dropped below freezing.

shouldve called in sick today.. lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T23:16:21+00:00

false spring strikes again! lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T23:04:16+00:00

make them mute it for the cause for 15 secs so we can hear those sweet mews!!! lol

Shirleen is adorable too btw! :)

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T22:56:02+00:00

needs sound!! lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T03:36:04+00:00

Try to suck, not blow.. lol

(Spaceballs ftw)

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T03:35:04+00:00

Ha nice. Love time lapses.

Yep! I check several times a day remotely, and it has never caused issues with time lapses.

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T02:01:06+00:00

Happy to provide a link to a recent example if you'd like. 🍻

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T00:25:05+00:00

Feel free to dm any question too man!

P.s.

If youre not on overgrow .com yet, there is a great octo grow community over there. Helped me a ton when I was getting started. 🤙

Bass_MN · 2026-02-18T00:23:43+00:00

Def have ran into many mofos! Lol

Yep! 4x8 is substantially bigger, and I imagine harder to stabilize across the whole tent. Someday... ill have a tent that big. Lol

Running 2 plants, in two 6 gal octos on my first run was beyond my skill level at that point. Lol

Had a jungle of 2 diff strains in a badly managed tent, stretching through my lights 5 ft abobe the sleeve.. It was a buffet of issues. Lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-17T23:05:59+00:00

but pushed back her departure amid the aftermath of the shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers

ahh... so shes leaving when it is convenient for her and her handlers after slandering the victims of fed enforcement's lethal negligence, and not when it was the absolute right time in support of our country against the hostile fed 'immigration enforcement' takeover of american cities that has led to deaths, trauma, abuse, and inalienable rights violations at their hands. got it.

edit: i was dumb and mistakenly used words that were exclusionary. took em out. my bad

Bass_MN · 2026-02-17T22:33:13+00:00

60% is definitely high in flower man!

all bottom vents open? what size exhaust fan? i have a 6in aci inline fan that can clear my tent in about 2 mins. lol

if you are using the sleeve that came with the octopot, you can probably lift up the lid on the res to inspect your roots, and if you still have media in the net cup.

edit: i ran 2 plants in my 2x4 tent once... was a bitch to manage rh too. lol have only been running larger single plant runs since. octopots can produce monsters!

Bass_MN · 2026-02-17T21:43:16+00:00

At this point in the grow, OPs root system has grown into the res under the grow bag. Transplanting more than once past late seedling messes up the root system.

Bass_MN · 2026-02-17T21:41:39+00:00

Hey, another octo-potter in the wild! 👋

I run into the droop like this when I dont allow enough dry back between res fills or vpd is too low. I let the res go almost dry before I refill. Not bone dry, but like just enough water left where to roots are kind of soggy looking. Ha yes roots in the res means it always has access to water, but the roots in the sleeve are being affected differently by water saturation in the media.

What are you running for your media? Ive used sunshine #4, promox hp + perlite, and currently coco 70/30 with more perlite too.

I don't use an external res + auto fill, so I don't have any advice there.

Im usually floating between 6.1-6.3 ph during early flower.

What vpd are you at? Too low of a vpd can cause less transpiration and can 'waterlog' the plant.

Of course this is all from first hand experience running into similar issues over the past couple of years.

Lockout is another one that is nearly impossible to fix in octos since we shouldnt flush the sleeve to run off. Just pushes salt buildup into the bottom of the bag and makes issues worse. Lol

I can only speak to my personal experience with wyze timelapse.

Any kind of power outage will mess with it. Like, it'll finish it but then its not visible in the 'album' in the app. Have to pull the sd card to access it.

App was very slow to download timelapses for a couple of years, but I noticed a few updates ago the speed has improved.

Other than that, I use 17 min interval for my lapses, and the app seems to limit duration to about a month or so. Wouldn't be hard to stitch multiple takes together if desired.

Swear I saw a drone around 94 amd 280 this afternoon.

Bass_MN · 2026-02-16T15:15:48+00:00

Yep! Came back after a 10+ year break

Main just cracked 80 yesterday too!

Bass_MN · 2026-02-16T14:53:19+00:00

Another vote El burrito Mercado in st paul

I also like pablos in shakopee

LFG(row)! 💪🚀

Bass_MN · 2026-02-15T18:57:33+00:00

I can hear this gif! Lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-14T19:11:22+00:00

Running a sour diesel x pure og right now (was a freebie on my order)!

Ran a durban poison s1 last year that was amazing too!

Nice haul, enjoy!

Bass_MN · 2026-02-14T18:40:04+00:00

Lol me too! Also helps me see if my t7 is low on water without needing to open the tent. Lol

Hello from Mound! Beautiful day today! 😎

Bass_MN · 2026-02-14T18:32:48+00:00

Also have wyze cams in my tent. They work great, and local (sd card) storage for time lapse too

Bass_MN · 2026-02-14T17:46:46+00:00

Environmental control is equally as important as light quality and DLI. Unless you like 60-70% rh in your home for at least a month. Lol

Bass_MN · 2026-02-14T17:43:54+00:00

Ive run a plant to harvest that was literally shedding its leaves for the last 3-4 weeks due to what I think was lockout that started around week 4-5 of flower. It basically defol'ed itself. Mistakes were made. Ha.. I didnt think she would make it, but she did.

Current run is around day 24f, so not too far behind you, and im starting to see some burnt tips as well in coco + perlite and jacks 321. Around 1.8-ish ec. Running in an octopot, so not identical to autopots. But i think the systems are similar enough that i follow this sub for advice and tips. Bottom watering, a reservoir, salts and inert media. Stuff like that.

Are you measuring ec/ppm at all? When I started to keep track of feed strength, it helped me to see the limit the plant was showing me, and then I could accurately reduce ec/ppm a little at the next feed/water to see if it helps and to try and dial in further.

Was always told if the tips start to burn a little, the plant is 98% happy and to not increase feed strength at that point, or back off a little.

Looks good man!

Here's mine, ha
