Hi everyone,
Recently I started My second grow, strains I'm running are Tahoe OG, skywalker OG, and OG kush. I also popped arandom seed I found thats looking good. I have some t5's setup in front of a dresser in my bedroomfor veg, and have a 250w HPS setup in my closet for flower. All 3 plants are in FFOF soil. I'm using 2 oscillating fans for ventilation which keeps my temps at 80-82 degrees as well as an ac unit inside that hasn't had to be used yet, and hoepfullt wont have to.
Currently the Tahoe OG is in veg on a 24/24 schedule under 4 of the 24w t5 HO single bulbs.
Heres a couple pics of her. this one was supercropped near the top. AlsoThis plant in particular is really strong, she reset herself upright within 9 hours of me pinching her. My current plans are to make her into a nice mother to take some clones and then flower her.


Now for the flowering section, neither of them have been in flower schedule for too long. The OG kush here has been in the closet for about a week and I'm still waiting on preflowers, but shes looking good. She has been supercropped twice on the main stem the first time close to the bottom, and the second time was a week later towards the top half. Also using some lst on her.

The skywalker OG has only been in the flowering closet for 3 days now, theres a couple preflowers so far. Shes getting her stretch on too. This one has also been supercropped twice with a week between for recovery. Again with more LST as well.

Heres a shot of the OG kush and skywalker OG in the closet together.

Let me know what you think.

Also I wanted to share pics and better descriptions of what equipment I'm working with. An awesome friend of mine had to give up growing a while back so he dicided to sell me his stuff for 5 dollars.
What he sold me:
250 HPS bulb (2 of them one is a spare)
Reflector
Cords/ballast(homemade and contained in a military ammo box.)
Dark Energy Hydro nutes
Floralicious plus Hydro nutes
PPM tester
PH tester
Schultz take root (for cloning)
Vitamin B1 plant starter
3 gallon DWC bucket with 4 inch net pot.
Hydroton
cords/electrical connectors
Timers
Air pump for DWC
Water pump for drip system in DWC

Heres a pic of the home made ballast

What I had to buy so far.
Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil
4 single bulb 24w t5 high output fixtures
alaska morbloom(0-10-10)
Fish emulsion(4-1-1)
General Hydro Flora Micro
General Hydro Flora bloom
General Hydro PH control kit

My plan is to ultimatley have 8 of the t5 lights up for veg, and keep the 250w for now. However I want to upgrade to a proper grow tent and 400w light for my third or 4th grow(it depends)
The reason I only have Flora micro and flora bloom is simply because I plan on using the lucas method of DWC. The DWC bucket in the pic has been sitting around for a month due to me debating on using it. It should be up and running by the 1st week of next month after I figure some things out.

Back 3 days later with an update on the plants.
The tahoe OG has been undergoing some super cropping and has no problems with it whatsoever. Yesterday night I transplanted her from her 1.5 gallon container to a 3 gallon clay pot. She showed absolutley no signs of stress and shes still doing awesome. I think I'll throw her into flower tonight.
The OG kush and the skywalker have been getting their stretch on like crazy. The skywalker OG(white pot) is stretching so fast its kind of scary and she smells pungent even though shes only preflowering still.
The OG kush (green pot) is going to have quite a large number of budsites due to the way I LST'd and supercropped her. New pics later.

Another update.
I threw the tahoe OG into flowering 2 days back, shes just starting to stretch. I also noticed that instead of 5 fingered leaves like shes had all through veg, she's started pushing out 7 fingered leaves. This plant just keeps wow'ing me. I'm simply stoked on having her and can't wait to see how she produces.
The OG kush is definitley flowering now and is looking nice and bushy.
the skywalker is still stretching at an obscene rate and is the lankiest of the 3.
