Strains: Juicy Fruit (Sativa Dominant Hybrid), Purple Indica (mostly pure Indica), also random sativa dominant hybrid bagseed.

Been growing indoor since late january... topped 2 times and did lots of pruning to save space. was on 18/6 light cycle but recently switched to Gas Lantern 12/1 (12on - 5.5 off - 1 on -5.5 off)...
running 4' T8 Daylight/Warm White 32 watt bulbs and 2x 13 watt Daylight LED bulbs total of 90 watts.

Using Promix HP & FFOF mixture.. added about 1/2 cup worm castings per plant.

Picture 31.jpgPicture of the LED light I am using Ecosmart Daylight 13watt.. 65 lumens/watt

All of the sativa hybrids have been topped 2 times.. The purple i topped 1 time.

Using Jacks Classic All Purpose 20-20-20 fertilizer about 2 tsp per gallon nearly every watering.. sometimes adding a little molasses and epsom salts to watering too..

Pretty sure i overwaterred a little but I didn't want them to grow out to fast anyways i wanted to focus on getting 6-10 main colas started...

Planning on moving the plants outside shortly after May 12th.



I have a good spot picked out with 5 gallon buckets already submerged in the ground. When digging the holes I kept top layer of sod and used it to camoflage the buckets.

I can't wait to get these girls (hopefully girls) into their homes!

Should be ready to put these outdoors in another 4-5 weeks!

Supercropped most of my plants to slow growth and strengthen the stalks. I also started flowering some clones to find out if there are females... only able to flower 3 at a time which means I'm going to need to flower twice.

Picture 42.jpg

flowering 3 rooted clones in a black 5 gallon bucket (to block light from vegging room) with 18w warm white CFL..

i really hope my plants don't get too big but I want them to hit their size limit for using 5gallon buckets outdoor. topped 2 times and supercropping through veg

The juicy fruit in my experience has exceptional mold resistance. It will want to finish mid October though. I don't know how far north you are but that may be a problem. Is it from sensi seed stock or clone? The seed stock will produce plants that smell exactly like the brand name gum. I think sensi changed the name to fruity juice bc of trademark infringement.

I'm in south indiana... around 39.5 degrees latitude. They are from seeds.. made a few clones too. I'm not sure exactly on the genetics just remember the weed having the distinct juicy fruit bubble gum smell and flavor.. very keefy.

They are all bag seed. Good bag seed though.. not mids.. stuff that was selling for 60/eighth

I had a good dealer that had direct hookup to a big cali grower... She was pretty reliable about getting named strains and higher quality... I trust that she told me the right strains...

I'm not sure which breeder the seeds originally came from.. they are very dank though so don't worry!

The mystery bagseed (white pot) is a female! :)

Should be able to find out if 2 of the Juicy fruits are female in the next couple of days...

Update 4/18:
Juicy Fruit A is female! 2/2 sexed are females so far... Juicy Fruit B and Juicy Fruit C are under 11 hours of light right now to see what sex they are.... still using 12-1 lighting.
Picture 48.jpg The big mammas

Picture 47.jpg The clones (the one that stretched is the one i just sexxed... I threw her back into veg... we will see how she is doing in a couple weeks.


7 females (2 used to determine sex)
8 unknown sex
0 Males
2 Plants being sexxed under 11/13 under 18w WW CFL

Putting 4 of the large plants out in a week or two.
Going to grow out the clones 1 more month and also the purp..

Thinking about flowering the purp indoor under 64w fluorescent t8, and also 18w WW CFL. that way i have something to smoke on from august through october.

All bag seeds you have will be female. This is because they are coming from selfing plants, or selfing plants that are pollinating other females near them in the garden they originated from. Female X Female = Female. This could pose a problem for you in that selfing seeds have an 80% likelihood of selfing and you may end up with a bunch of seedy plants come fall. What is your reason behind not wanting to buy seeds online and pick out some bomb genetics that would be a perfect fit for your latitude and type of grow?

Let me know how the others turn out, if you get a male maybe I am wrong, but when I put seeds in my own bags its because I had a plant go herm, not because I had a male in my garden that kindly pollinated a few of my girls.

Thanks for giving me the heads up about hermies.. I used the seeds because it came from really top notch weed.
