Hi all, this will be my grow/build journal. I would call myself an advanced noobie grower, and I hope you stick around to learn with me 
very recent background (skim the pictures first maybe): I started growing in july of 2015 and decided to go with LED lighting after considering the cost of electricity in LA. After my initial (rushed) research I bought a 450w growblu blurple led for $750. But after a couple weeks of further research and digging up clues on efficiency, thankfully finding the led section of riu and greengenes live hangouts he was holding back then, I decided to return the growblu. I ate $100 on the return fees and waited a couple months for four a51 w90's... best decision ever. But it took me a minute to realize 360watts from vero 29's would be superior to 450w of blurple.
I started my first grow in October 2015 in a 4x4 gorilla tent with 3 clones by nameless genetics from the w.e.e.d. studio city and ran most of flower with 6 w90's, ending it partly by running my first build, cxb3590 x 6 at 1050ma. Unfortunately the little one hermied, but I still ended up with about 350g of frosty nug from the two plants under about 530watts dissipation, which would have easily been 450g with the third clone plus a lot of popcorn that went to the hash bag. This exceeded my expectations for my first ever grow.
Now to present day, I am just starting my second round ever after recently completing my second build which brings my setup to (14) cxb3590 at 1050ma covering my 4x4 tent. With an additional a51 w90 3000k my ppfd should be at least 1000. As far as genetics, I put OG in the title for a reason. I've grown up on og kush having been to LA dispensaries for the last 6 years; it's always been my favorite high and terp profile so now that I'm growing my own I just want to fill my whole tent with dank og. I settled with some Tahoe OG clones from a genetics nursery in LA. I'm happy with where they are going into flower, except that 1 of the 5 tahoe's seems to be a totally different cut, and the single gg4 they shot me for free fell over in veg and barely made it through.
I have pretty high hopes for this run and think I can easily reach 600 to 700 grams if the genetics are on point. I'm down to discuss all aspects of cannabis cultivation in this thread, as I've got plans to expand soon and lots of ideas. I'm running coco, 3 gal pots and hand watering multiple times per day. I already know that I will be upgrading to a 4x8 setup this summer, with 18 more cxb3590's, and 2 gal pots w/ coco and drip watering. Also, clones of the josh d og that are supposed to be released soon and I'll probably do whatever I need to get those
