Ok, 8" ACI carbon filters are massive! 11" wide and 20" long. If this thing can’t scrub a room then I don’t know what could.

It has been 4 days since I flipped. I have three confirmed female plants. The other two plants, :thinking: 93.47% likely male.

The nets are in place for the three confirmed females.
NL-2, NL-3 & NL-5 are the good ones.

I won’t cull them until I am 100%. Hopefully that will happen before they spill their load. :rofl: :vulcan_salute: :man_mage:

@ChittyChittyBangin liking the new pfp also I think you mentioned how loud the 8" aci fan could be. It’s INSANE! Still way more quite than I expected at full speed. I’m trying to locate my bowling ball to test if it can lift it like you see those balloons hovering over fans.

Won’t hurt anything to switch your timer the hour .
For a one time thing they won’t even notice.

Should be fine just leaving as is but if you want to adjust it to match up I don’t think it should hurt anything.

One of mine is doing that too. I think its just new growth coming in so fast it takes a minute to straighten out. Specially cuz they are trying to get out from under those big ass fan leaves.


Today I tied every branch over and spread the plant open to expose the funny looking leaves and branches. A few hours later they were all looking normal

Both of my females have purple streaks in the stalks where as the male was solid green. Is anyone else noticing this in their females? Was wondering if this is a trait of this strain?

So I wanted to ask to fox farm trio users about their mix and how you use it? My son uses it but when he adds the nutes he always has to ph up because the ph is so low. I’ve never had to ph up and wasn’t sure. He uses tap water(as I do) which has a ph of 7.8-8.0 but after he mixes the nutes and recharge he has to dump ALOT of ph up into the mix. I was always under the understanding that we don’t really need ph up because all water is never acidic, only really need to add more water. I advised him to mix all the nutes into a half gallon of water to the mix. Even after doing this it still needs ph’d up. He is trying to achieve 6.5ph growing in coco-loco currently.

Your tap water sources could be different. If you start with ph of 8 with ppm of 500 won’t have ph impacted as much as ph of 8 with ppm of 100. The dissolved solids in the water are what drives the ph. So much that most of our meters won’t even accurately display the ph of water with ppm under 150 or so. So the water is more likely to take the ph of the nutrients you’re adding.

Also wanting to add that I’m not familiar with coco loco but 6.5 is too high for typical coco or coco/perlite blend.

I don’t change my timers. I just go through a few days of “why the fxxx are my lights already off/on??” Lol

Sorry coco-loco is basically fox farm soil with a little coco added so it’s basically soil.he lives 4 blocks from me and we both have the same tap water which is 8.0ph with 0.5ec at both houses. I just didn’t understand why we have to ph up with the fox farm compared to all the other nutes I’ve used that always need ph’d down. Also wondering if this is true for other fox farm trio users. Also the paperwork schedule shows different feeding schedule than the bottles show???
