Is anybody on here growing in octopots I’m having issue with the water getting kind of slimy and The Roots don’t look as good as they could I was considering using hydroguard and adding some kind of beneficial bacteria.Will this keep roots healthy?

Yup, Biological Slime in the reservoir. Hydroguard will help this greatly 
The best nutrients for this system is Perfect PH … You have to be careful about PH creep in a SWC more so than DWC. My first three grows I used a non buffering nutrient regiment and it was hell …
Best of luck! Tag me if you need help 
Also, Chris (owner of Octopot) is a nice guy. Thank you for supporting his company

Does that pH perfect stuff really work? And does it maintain the pH until you give it the next feeding

What type of weight have you been getting out of your plants? The hardest thing to figure out is what nutrients to use. Right now I have Voodoo juice, Tarantula, and Sensi bloom ph. pH out of tap is 6.5 ppm is high at 500
Any suggestions?

I average 200 grams with a short veg (Sativa’s) and about 140 with Indicas. It all depends though…
The Advanced Nutrients are really good. I run the expert regiment and have never seen a drift issue. During bloom, I am topping the res at least two gallons every 4 days so that helps

My biggest issue is my humidity level I have an 8 by 8 by 7 tent 8 octopots six LEDs I have to run two exhaust fans to keep it right around 7879 so they suck all the humidity out and I can only get about 30% wasn’t sure about a console humidifier because of the bacteria

Do you have room for portable AC. I had to get one in my 4x8 to keep temps down and humidity up.

You can get a large container of water and dome the plant and water vessel thereby trapping evaporate. A humidifier works as well. Mold and mildew are concerns though…
