Tortugas 1st Diary OG`s Anyone

[tortuga1503]

Hey Farmers whats up. Well its been a very stressfull 10 days for me. I got a call from a very very close disabled relative. She made some horrible financial decisions and was taken advantage of by lenders. No job, they gave her a loan based on her equity. No way of paying it back forclosure notices soon followed. Three patients live at the house,all need meds and help getting back on track. I started the build 1 week ago today. I borrowed 2 1k hps. Going to run E&F in 2 gal pots filled with hydroton,2 5200 btu window a/c units. Why 2? because they were free and not digital which is a plus forsure. 8 inch can fan air cooling the lights, I just added a mini split to my room so no more exhaust in my room. 8 inch can fan exhausting the room thru the carbon filter borrowed from my room,6 inch can fan intake pulling air thru a custom made hepa filter box. Thanks Lead. I still have to pick up the rez so not sure what size I will be using. I had to piece this room together so its a little ghetto. I will be adding a big air pump rez size will determine that. I like 1watt per gal. This is my first log. I AM A NOVICE. Everything I do or have done I have learned here and a couple of other sites but 90% i`ve learned here. I`m totally open for constructive advice, remember moneys tight. Here are some early pics

thanks rrock I will keep posting this grow homie. Hey RIVAL thanks man. As far as what OG`s will be ran. Diablo Og,Skywalker Og,Bubba Og,Badman Og,a local Og I will name later. The source didn`t make alot of friends here and I want unbiased opinions and advice from the farm. Let me just say I ran this OG last ran and its incredible. I have only ran her one time and learned alot about this og so I`m excited to see if I can do better with her now. The Skywalker I`m running was picked up from a club a week ago along with a Badman Og. I have another Skywalker but its not the one I`m looking for so hopefully this one will be. The Bubba Og I`ve ran before, its very fruity and brings plenty of heat. I`m also throwing in some Chocolope. What can I say she`s Bomb.

I got the babys but haven`t had anytime to finish the room off. Hopefully this week. I put a fan speed controller on my intake to help warm up the room. With just 1k running unvented the room was in the high 50`s low 60`s so I slowed the intake down and now running about 78. I got 22 local og`s I will name later. The person that I got them from I`ve done business with before. He really came through and gifted me 22 special og babys. This og is super dank farmers. 1st pic is when I first got them the 2nd pic is a week later wish I didn`t have to go to work but I gotta run will update more later thanks for stop"n"by.

That Bubba OG Christmas tree is legit! Very nice. Nice room setup as well. I like the intake box with the filter. Perfect fit. That's the same filter I use.

Hey Farmers,Well I haven`t had ANY time as of late to update this grow. I finally have a little time to update. I almost finished the room off installed more 110 outlets ran a 220 line for a 4 light MLC.I have to get the MLC still. A lil short on funds this week. I got a deal last week on a couple of Radiant hoods with 8 in ducting.I also finished off the ac units. Built a shelf for 4 ballast.I am using tap water for this grow.So to make this a lil easier on myself I tapped into the water outside the room and ran a water line and valve into the room. After this grow I plan on installing a RO set up.I don`t like using tap water for Hydro. The room was running a lil cold. I put a fan speed controller on the intake. I really like this room its very clean, came with a linoleum floor. I`ve had good runs and my share of bad ones but I have a good feeling about this run. I didn`t settle for less as far as gear goes.

Temp 77/79 lights on. No ac needed,Yet
RH Way to low 25% socal wheathers super dry right now any suggestions on how to up this to 50% consistently. I`ve never used a humidifier should I get one?
I was giving them GH
4ml Micro
8ml Bloom
1ml Roots excel
.5 Drip Clean
I gave them that for the first 10 days until they started to jump and green up a bit. Once that happened I switched to my normal schedule. It goes as follows, Base is House and Garden
5 ml Aqua Flakes A
5 ml Aqua Flakes B
1 ml Roots Excel
.5 ml Drip Clean
2.5 ml Protekt
5 ml N.U.T.S.
2 ml Techaflora B1
5 ml Sweet
PH 5.8
PPM 1015
Damn tap water. I know the ppm is high, but I`m going with it until the plants tell me different
I will be giving this to them until 12/12. Sorry for lagging on the updates just so busy with work. Thanks for stopping by..
Peace,
Tortuga.(aka) Turtle
