Ok, so I have a 4 week old seedling that I ordered a while back. Ive read all kinds of stuff on people saying its NOT a indica dominate. So far, my situation is true. Its growing like a sativa and I just topped it. Does anyone know any tricks of the trade with this strain??? Does it clone well? Even though it seems sativa, does it still grow a decent crop? Is it really going to take 12 weeks to flower? Is it worth it, or should I start a new strain now? Thanks for your time and input.

It's not worth it at all. You see one person out of about 100 who reports success running this line. The plants take forever to finish (over 12 weeks) and are low quality. Run far away. Save yourself the trouble now.

Have one flowering now. Takes forever lol. This was my first strain ever so I made lots of mistakes. Super durable, but wow takes about 3-4 months to flower. Mine was sativa pheno also. I can start to see trichromes on the leaves which is cool lol. Also, it seems to be very sensitive to nutes

Yeah mine looks nothing like the one in that pic. Ruby, you got the far in between indica it looks like. The nodes on mine are much further apart than that. Mine is 4 weeks today and is already every bit of 18-20 inches tall with stringy branches. I have a few others going as well and they are indica and they are at the same age and 4-6 inches shorter. Im probably going to replace it with this cali connection seed I got as a freebie from last months promo. (purple diesel). I will probably just flower out the pineapple I have going just to see what its like. I have enough room to throw it in a corner. I have another pineapple, but its the g13 labs pineapple express. I will most likely start that in april next year. I clone, so these strains will always stay around for me.

yep looks mostly indica..ill be honest I had it and grew it to a seedling stage then gave it to a friend who has it here in the pic in the ground ...it would be between 3-4.5 weeks old since transplant

Yeah its a nice looking plant and Ive heard those indica pheno's are the keepers of that strain. I have an Atomic bomb from bomb seeds started and its definitely indica, so Im hoping the next strain I start can be more indica dominate. Already got a sativa going of some green crack, which I like, so that's stuck with me the last 2 years and still going strong.

Ah no. It's a 8 week I've grown it, but I usually go 9 weeks a 10 - 14 day flush.

You're one of the 1/100, especially if you actually liked it. I've never seen an actual PC grow where the end user was happy complete with pics and everything. I have seen some horrible grows with pics where the grower is super pissed off.

Good point

OGE doesn't know how to grow, dry, or cure.
You know me well.

Seriously though, there could be a good phenotype in there - but there's been so many people who have grown this out now and been disappointed that it would be bad manners not to warn someone. Especially since a lot of phenotypes seem to want to go 16 weeks and result in garbage product.

Moreover, a good pheno being so hard to find - when with many lines a good pheno is expected and great ones are to be found... why waste the time and effort?

Pineapple Diesel... up on Sannies... ProfP says every pheno a winner. Steal of a fucking deal right now last time they were closer to 100 a pack. And probably worth it. Worked many many years on the line. Straight Pineapple flavored plants to be found with the rest being skunky with pineapple or some other desireable sounding smell... or C99 - from many different sources (Female, Peakseeds, Classic, One of the guys on RCMC, etc etc).

Hey ya'll. I appreciate all this advice. Yeah I know for sure I had the sativa pheno, which ruins my scheduling completely. I ripped it out today because I honestly cant afford to take the chance on another disappointment in a barney seed. I just did the red cherry berry and vanilla kush and they both produced about 1.5oz ea. and didn't have a buzz for shit. I still have one barney seed (liberty haze), but Im not starting that til later next year. I planted a purple diesel (cali conn) today, so Im gonna give that a run so I can have something similar to the atomic bomb that I have going, which is a beautiful plant. Cant wait to get clones off her and start flowering. I got that pineapple express too, but that's not getting planted til 4/20. When you have 20 types to choose from, it makes decisions tough on which to start first. I appreciate everyones adivice.

And its not that I need help growing. I have that covered and have for quite a while now. Im just mainly looking for references. Just to be clear on the noob growing situation, if you guys thought that lol! Not to sound offensive hopefully. Blazing some Michigan Kapers tonight. Straight fire!
