Philo's Purple Passion, Juicy Fruit, Mango, HDF, Ebb and Flow

I picked up a 6X3 table off of craigslist for $75 so I decided to give start an ebb and flow grow.

-Vegged them for 3 weeks
-2 600W lights 1-HPS 1-MH
-They are 5 days into flowering
-Using Ionic grow nutes at 1.8EC
-Grow formula for vegging and first week of flowering.
- Will switch to bloom and boost formula after 7 days
-put a 6"X 6" metal netting on top to support the plants as the buds get heavy

-4 juicy fruit (sativa dominant, tall and stringy)
-5 purple passion
-10 mango
-9 mango

My tent is pretty tight so the pictures aren't the best but as you can see everything is growing nice and healthy.

Has anyone else grown Juicy Fruit? How did it turn out.

I keep reading mixed reviews. The original info I read said it was a indica/sativa mix but it looks nearly all sativa to me. Now I'm reading some reviews that it takes up to 80 days to ripen, which isn't going to work well with my other strains.

The Juicy Fruits are stretching like a mother, not the best plant for the packed table I have going. I guess I'll hope for the best and see how she turns out.

I have 1 gallon pots filled with nothing but hydroton. It let's me water several times a day without worrying about root rot.

You staying with the 1 gals the whole grow then I take it? I've contemplated using a bigger container size, but I just don't see how transplantation is possible with hydroton.

Yea. The plants seem to be doing fine so I'm not going to change anything. The roots don't seem to need as much room in hydro as with soil.

With 6"*6" fence for support at the top, I don't think I need a bigger pot.


Here are some pics at 2 weeks. Some nice little buds starting to show.

what happened?

how was the harvest?
