Octopot Soil Hydro Hybrid Grow Systems - Better than DWC Systems or Ebb and Flow Growing Systems

[@danielbrown4467]

smart pot and hempy buckets had a baby!!!!!!

[@Octopot]

With great success!

[@SpokeInNoise]

If hydro gives you 2x the growth better than soil, these give you 3x. very good method. probably the best.

[@Octopot]

Thanks!!!

[@Syntaxterror7]

Ordered one, Looking forward to trying it.

[@Octopot]

Thanks man! Keep us posted and don't hesitate to reach out with questions!

[@calebphelps1836]

I like it does the job

[@ddughman]

So is it working for you??

[@DannyTillotson]

Is this possible to transplant to a normal soil pot later or will the complicated root system not handle the transition well?

[@Octopot]

The roots literally change their genetic disposition from soil root to a water root as it grows into the water. Transplanting to all soil would probably shock the plant.

[@stewardenvoy8340]

So I used 2 octopots using Happy Frog Coco Coir. Great results. So can I reuse the coco coir Or do you recommend I get another growing medium? For reuse of the Coco, I would assume just clean out the dead roots rinse and should be ready to go correct? Also, what is the best cleaning solution to clean the octopot and the sleeve?

[@Octopot]

Yes you can reuse the soil medium, it is advised to rinse and add amendments to boost it's nutritional value. Octopot and sleeve can both be hand washed with a mild soap.

[@lorddread22]

so what holds the sleeve and wick onto the reservoir so it doesn't fall over?

[@Octopot]

The wick locks into the bottom of the water reservoir and the sleeve is also held in place by the wick. Making sure your soil is packed tightly enough to hold the fabric upright is important.

[@tinamoney1]

why are liquid fertilizers needed, can't the plant get it's nutrients from the soil? wouldn't that be the point of incorporating soil in a hybrid system, to get the benefits of soil which are largely nutrients

[@Octopot]

With Octopot we use liquid or water soluble fertilizers in the water reservoir so that nutrient build up does not occur on the top layer of soil. With our root hybridization the hydro roots have a higher uptake of nutrients than soil roots, so the plant is able to absorb more nutrients as well. Nutrients will migrate from the water into the soil so the soil roots will have ample feed as well.

[@jambomambo3808]

How do you separate the soil from the water? And prevent soil leakage?

[@Octopot]

The wick holds the soil out of the water reservoir and prevents the soil from leaking through into the reservoir.

[@danty263y]

Can I use hydroton clay pebbles grow media?

[@Octopot]

We do not suggest using hydroton clay pebbles, it is best to use a peat and coco blend with perlite and organic amendments.

[@erixnatchez3097]

Practical, I like.

[@Octopot]

Thanks! Super efficient with great results!

[@jordanmusleh6305]

Amazing..!!👏👏👏🙏🙏

[@Octopot]

Thank you!

[@MrDylanryan]

So how do you gage your nutrients. Do you add like it’s a hydroponic grow? Or do you add like it’s a soil grow. Most soils use hardly any nutrients because most are available in the medium. But hydro has to use nutrients so what do you do?

[@Octopot]

You measure your water before you fill the reservoir, so it is a clean reading. You do not need to measure the soil, and should avoid measuring the water currently in the reservoir since it has been altered in the reservoir by the plants' uptake and the remnants in the reservoir from previous fills.

[@akproductions5039]

Send me one. Ill do a review 😂😂 literally just hit my recommended today. Seems legit. Happy growing!

[@krussellgal]

Can you reuse the potting mix for the next grow system? I grew from seed and had a few males I culled. How do I store or reuse the grow medium? btw....my plant growth was phenomenal. I've never seen anything like it.

[@Octopot]

Thanks for the feedback!! Yes you can reuse the soil, simply rinse the medium and add amendments to reboot some of the nutrient levels in the soil.

[@B.White70]

Is it only sold commercially or can a home hobbyists order directly and get one? And if not where in Los Angeles could I pick up a system? I would like to try this out..

Does this work with plants that has tap root, for eg: apple trees, orange trees, etc......

It would work but would eventually outgrow the container.

[@erwinoliverfundador7067]

so you need hydroponic fertilizer............or are normal fertilizers OK?

[@Octopot]

Water soluble nutrients are added to the water reservoir. Soil should be amended with nutrients before planting. Living soil does not need added nutrients in the water.

[@erwinoliverfundador7067]

@@Octopot thanks

[@unknownbeastgaming7264]

So how dank would the weed get?

[@Octopot]

Possibilities are limitless!

[@mankena]

The real answer depends on the potential of the strain and the job of the grower. You can't get any strain to be more potent than it's genetic potential. However, you can optimize the potency by limiting errors to zero and by providing the best possible environment for the specific strain. Keep on growing! :)

[@martinpike803]

Interesting what is the price per pot

[@Octopot]

[@blackmagickgenetics]

Does this work with coco? And how often do you have to pH?

[@Octopot]

Amend the coco with plenty of organic supplements and include perlite. pH when you fill the reservoir and let the pH fluctuate in the Octopot itself.

[@jonsmit9956]

How deep do you put the germinated seed in the soil.

[@Octopot]

1/4th to 1/2 inch. You can use Octo-Dome Cloners to go from cutting to harvest in one grow system too! www.octopot.com/store/p32/Octo_Dome_for_Clones_-_6_Pack.html

[@yousifsolaka4905]

would you have to use different nutrients in this and would you feed the same way by watering the soil?

[@Octopot]

Water soluble nutrients are added to the water reservoir. Soil should be amended with nutrients before planting. Living soil does not need added nutrients in the water.

[@jonsmit9956]

Is the 3-gallon necessary or could you do the entire grow in a 6 gallon pot.

[@Octopot]

Plants can go from seed or clone to harvest in any Octopot Grow System. Skip the cloner and start un-rooted cuttings in Octopot Grow Systems with Octo-Dome. Its your choice to use the 3 gallon or six gallon depending on the amount of space you have. People who use grow tents sometimes prefer a smaller size. You can streamline indoor growing and save electricity by using the 3 Gallon Grow System for veg stage. Octopot 3 Gallon Grow Systems fit closer together under a standard indoor light fixture so no light is wasted, and power costs are reduced. Octopot’s Gro Sleeve® and Hydro Wick® function interchangeably in both the 3 Gallon and the 6 Gallon Octopot Grow Systems. When young plants outgrow the veg stage the Gro Sleeve® with plant can be moved into Octopot’s 6 Gallon Grow System to continue growing.

[@grow-u1070]

What about root rot? This process is bound to get root rot if you use any nutrients or even from the organic soil.

[@Octopot]

The system is designed to work without causing root rot! The roots are transformed on a cellular level and become hybrid. We have been around 10 years and it is proven to work!

Will this allow to add soil

[@Octopot]

Yes, soil or coco coir is the growing media to use in Octopots. Check out our website for detailed information. Octopot.com

[@weedlibrary9611]

Seems like mold would be imminent ....? Right?

[@Octopot]

No, the moisture is only carried upward as it is needed. The design of the water reservoir and sleeve is what allows this system to be successful. Air flow is part of the design and stagnation/molds do not occur as long as your grow area is sufficiently dehumidified and well circulated.

What I dont understand is the changing between 3 gall to 6 gall plant and sleeves at change over lighting stage between vegative and flowering..Does this mean transplanting the plant digging it out of the 3gall set and placing it in to a larger 6gall sleeve and reservoir ..Can only envision a messy business and great plant stress then extra shock changing light regime..No where can I find how this procedure is carried out..3gall to 6gall with plant..A messy transplant ??

[@iamchillydogg]

Any experience with Kind Soil or super soil?

[@octopotgrowsystems8874]

Octopot Grow Systems require a high quality well-aerated growing media that promotes high air capacity. Octopot recommends a 60/40 ratio - specifically 60% high quality soilless mix with 40% perlite. Professional growing mixes such as Sunshine® Mix #4 works well. Octopot Grow Systems may also be used with sustainable Coconut Coir or Coir blends. Warning: Heavy compacted soil will prevent Octopot Grow Systems from functioning

[@Octopot]

Super soils are not advised and have been shown to be unsuitable thus far.

[@mordys6305]

so u can only use organic right

[@Octopot]

No you can use conventional fertilizers as long as they are water soluble. Just be cautious because it is a closed environment so we advise using about half of the suggested amount.

@@Octopot so salt build up is a myth if the plant eats it all?

[@NjoyMoney]

How do you deal with salt build up in the medium? Since flushing doesnt seem like an option?

[@Octopot]

Salt build up precipitates to the outside of the grow sleeve, it does not build up inside the grow medium.

[@paulcritchley4446]

Quote. Hydroponics the art of growing without soil. You are employing a capillary system which is simply watered from the bottom. It's probably the first automated watering system ever invented.

[@Octopot]

Thanks! It's been quite the success!

[@NjoyMoney]

No, you can see all the way at the bottom the roots are in a hydroponic environment, besides coco coir is pretty much a hydro in it self

[@MrLupooo7]

is this not the same like Autopo ?

[@Octopot]

Octopots are designed with a wicking system that allows the roots to hybridize, creating a dual root zone and are the first product on the market to utilize this science. Auto pots are simply gravity fed and a different product all together.
