The pineapple taste is more of a back note. The first and upmost taste is of cheese, then a citrus, with a pineapple finish on exhale..This is MY FAVORITE new strain. The AROMA ALONE will have people begging you for a toke!! I'll post a link to my info and pics........http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Pineapple_Chunk/Barneys_Farm/review/.................AND......http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Pineapple_Chunk/Barneys_Farm/........Look at the pics posted by MaxYield, those are my ladies. Only slight complaint is growing charactaristics. Some pheno's can get stretchy, also the yield isn't quite as much. BUT, you WILL be rewarded with the most exotic bud in town!! Trust me! Been smokin for 19yrs!.....P.S. I'm only an expert at smoking/tasting, not growing!!

I must be clear, the purple plants are NOT Pineapple Chunk. They are Diesel from Dinafem..The P.Chunks have more of a orange/pink tint.......Picture #2 is the best example of what to expect from her. She can be a bit finicky at times, but it's worth the added effort! This was grown under 400whps, using 100% all organic materials, 50% of the girls received compost-tea, while the others got none. (experimental reasons) I use pipe water that's been "gassed" out at least 24hrs, and ph corrected to about 6.5. This was my first cycle using Co2. I was aiming for a target of 1200ppm. Some of that was hit or miss, as my recently purchased AIR-4 was a total waste of money (another story). This was my 4th harvest ever, so I am technically still a Nub. I'm wanting to get some comments/ info from some more seasoned growers. I think I've been successful, because I don't have the typical pot-grower attitude. "My way is the best way". So I'm totally open to others idea's and opinion's, and would love to hear from you guys! Thanks for all your help and support, couldn't have done it without the knowledge!.......

Yo man, I've got 3 grows down now with P.Chunk. Get with me man, we can discuss/learn!......

Don't believe the hype dude! It wouldn't be a cup winner if it were wack! Trust me dude GROW IT!! The only thing is the flowering time is a little longer then advertised. I usually go about 65-70 days...View attachment 2020475

I had great results and yield with my PC as well... was a straightforward enough strain to grow, no probs at all, just using canna coco a+b, rhizo, cannazym, overdrive and hammerhead at appropriate times oh and gh ripen at the end... oh and blackstrap mollases throughout. 6.1-6.3 in veg upped to 6.5 though flower.

i havent updated on my pineapple chunk as of late there just hasnt much happening with it its recovering but progress is slow & even the best of my buds arent dense i would recomend this for outdoor grows & then there is the question of the claimed thc content???? im thinking barney was making an attemt to cash in on the pineapple market that g-13 labs pineapple express seems to dominate & for good reason if you look at some of pineapple express grow journals youll see why. pineapple chunk isnt even close to pineapple express

I honestly cant remember how long mine took but it was around 7/8 weeks too maybe 9 at a push... memory sucks lol im sure it was a 7-8 after speaking to gf

Nice Man!! You got some monster cola's!! Here's mine @8wks...The purple plants are Diesel from Dinafem. My best example of P.Chunk is pic #2... How did your P.Chunk turn out? I'm freaking over the moon with the flavor, aroma, and head...I hear people complain, I think they must have gotten bad phenotype's, my mother is wonderful!...How bout you?.....View attachment 2020484View attachment 2020485View attachment 2020488View attachment 2020489View attachment 2020490

Maybe you got some bad pheno's.. My only complaint is that they run longer than advertised. Also, you can FIM them to keep the stretching in check. The aroma when lit is unbelievable! Did you not get that result?......

Sorry to hear that..I've been using Attitude exclusively for about a year now. Tried "Tangerine Dream" 0 for 10 in germination rate!! I contacted Attitude, as I've had problems before, they seemed happy to replace the bum seeds. Did you send them pics of the bum gear?.......

I regret not keeping cuts, but i kinda grew em as "spur of the moment" lets try these cheap beans (they were £20 for 5 at the time) I had three grows on the go at the same time, ghs white rhino and this...
this knocked the socks off the white rhino, the taste, the buzz, the smell was dank oh and the yield... 20+ zips of bone dry bud under a 600w from 3 of the 4 that I germed...
another reason I didn't keep cuts was because of the problems I had read about them on a few sites after buying them lol I do have more beans now and I hope they are the same quality as the previous....

The purple plants ARE NOT P.Chunk. They are Diesel from Dinafem. The best example of P.chunk is pic #2. Good luck!! SAVE this strain for yourself, as you will be reluctant to let her go!! That good!......

my TDs all popped, but my complaint is that they said nothing about the extra long flower time and that screwed me..
i will probably not order new cup winners until i see them grown out here..

just thought i'd throw this out there because i didn't really mention it before, but my keeper pheno of PC had a lot of double serrated fan leaf points. interestingly, she was cross bred with another strain, and when i grow her offspring the ones with double serrated leaves all have that similar fruity flavor even if the high is different.

i would absolutely buy a pack of this strain based on the freebie i got, even if others weren't so lucky.

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]Update on my PC grows.

I have a 16 SOG of mostly PC and a few Critical+, they are clones that vegged for about 2.5 weeks. 600watt, using Jacks Classic 20-20-20 in hydro bubbleponics DWC combo (Supercloset "superponics"). Day 42 flower and about 2-2.5' feet high, manageable. They smell so nice, faintly of pineapple and citrus. Love it.

I started another SOG grow, exact same components, all 16 PC. Only vegged the clones for 1 week under 400hps (can't remember if above was 400 or 600 in veg). I use only Dyna-gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 on this group. When I flipped them after 1week veg, they were about 4". It's not even 30 days later and they are all over 3.5'!! They look beautiful so far. I'm hoping that they won't be growing anymore. Should be the last few days right now.

Would have thought that with only 1 week veg they would have been smaller than crop 1 which was 2.5 weeks veg. The difference was the Foliage Pro. Amazing the difference. Crop 1 is more bushy (2-3 weeks older), crop 2 is lanky (double the size of crop1).

Then I have 2 other PC with 3 vanilla Kush in same setup. They vegged for around 2.5 months, fucking beasts. I SCROGed them, was worried about the stretch. It's likely they'll be my lowest yielders. My first attempt at SCROG, heard that yield is usually effected.


As a newbie, my biggest problem seems to be nute burn, ph lockout, an K deficiency. I'm on my 2nd rotation, I haven't been able to get my girls to not show nute burn above 500ish. Just after I get that under control, I begin to have a K deficiency, which makes my garden look like crap. So I flush well, add nutes, gradually increase, and then I'm back to burn or lockout. I'm figuring my SOG is too big for my res, I'm now changing h20 weekly and it's looking like I'll need to do it more frequently. Next SOG will be 8 PC plants in each rez with 1 week veg and only 1 strain per rez. [/FONT]

Have read so many horror stories about pineapple chunk taking forever to finish... Just germinating a pack now I hope like hell I get an early finishing pheno worth keeping! the last thing i need in my garden is a strain that takes 100 days to finish lol

for me it takes a while.. longer than white widow but shorter than super lemon haze..

I am about 6.5 wks into flower of my first TD grow. It has been a pretty damn strong grower from the get go! Way easier than the VK but I'm gettin the pH more stable and apparently it needs a decent amount of Mag. But back to the TD! 6.5wks in and it's lookin great other than it is a little root bound and sadly i believe P deficient. I'll get some pics up soon but I'm hittin the sack now and working a long day tomorrow. Got just a bit of VK curin too.
Peace

Yes I just completed a full grow this plant matures quickly buds were done in six weeks I find the buds to be heavier than sativa but not as heavy as the kush strains the buzz is good but have grown better I am looking for purple kush seeds u know of any?
Also have bought all my seeds from ampsterdam seeds aka attitude they have been all good uptick now when I need the customer service there isn't any so b ware got ten white widow seeds feminized all ten were dead duds all ten never even cracked that is a first

it depends which pheno u get, I have had both....short, dark, indica. but i have 4, 3 weeks into flower that are stretchey, sativa, thin leaves etc....
