Ordered Cali Connections GSC and G13 Labs Pineapple Express.

Just wondering if anyone has grown either. Never tried either of their genetics but Cali Con better be good at $23 a bean.

LOL.. you live and you learn

never ran g13. heard mixed reviews about them... got a couple of there freebies from tude...

ran cc 22. a freebie from the tude awhile back, when 22 first came out...
surprisingly it was good.... did not herm or do weird shit...
should of took a clone, and run it atleast 2 more times....
but was real busy at the time and did not have room for more clones...
and readin a bunch of negative comments about cc also had to do with it tooo.....
point is.... dont let the negative comments get to you... just do it.....

I've seen a lot if negative reviews too. That's why I was hoping somebody here could prove them wrong.

A lot of people here gave Humboldt bad reviews but I grew their Bubbas gift and it was very nice. Slow grower, but very nice buds.

I've just been hearing all the hype about the 2 lately and figured I'd try them both.

Thanks.

I've run a few g13 strains. White Widow and PIneapple Express Auto. I wasn't the same grower then, but I was unimpressed by the auto version of PE.

We developed a kind of a love-hate relationship with Pineapple Express. On average you won't get any really bad plants but they don't like hot conditions. What annoyed us most was that the freebie from the tude was an excellent plant and it ticked almost all the boxes. Not very tall bushy plants with dense buds all the way down, great high, good yield, good bag appeal. Strong smell. Easy to trim.
The seeds we bought were similar but more indica leaning and not as good as the freebie. I still like them, they are very easy to grow in coco or soil and i haven't had any hermies yet. Pretty good value for money and a reliable strain. We still hope that one day we get a similar plant to that freebie. We wish we kept it for longer but we flowered the mom after about 3 grows to make room for others.

I'm not so much worried about the strain as I am the seedbank's genetics. Were those seeds from G13 Labs? I know a few other banks sell them. I guess G13 is the original breeder, that's why I ordered from them.

Thanks.

I got the fem seeds, so hopefully they're better than your auto experience. Was the WW any good?

Thanks.

The WW was an excellent producer and easy to grow and clone. I just discovered I am not a fan of the taste of any Widow Crosses. I also ran their Blue Venom which is a Blueberry x WW cross. Same deal, great producer, easy to grow but I just do not like the WW taste at all.

I did g13's midnight kush and white critical, also watched friends grow their white lavender and white widow, the white widow turned out better than the other "white" strains from them, I wish I was the one to grow it since the friends I gifted the beans to both sucked at growing, but even in a setup that usually made 5/10 quality I'd give the white widow a 7.
The whole set of seeds made me not really wanna do any more g13 beans though. none of them were especially frosty, and none of them yielded enough to make up for the lack of frost, the closest on both fronts was definitely the WW though

Ah shit. Well that sucks. I'm just gonna hope for the best I guess. Not looking too optimistic but maybe if I give them enough love they'll turn out ok.

Tell us about your grow medium and environment.

Mine were grown in DWC buckets under 400w HPS lamps.

They would be much happier in my current environment....

I grow organically.

Starter mix: 50% coco 50% rabbit manure under a T5.

Veg/flower mix: 30% coco coir, 30% rabbit shit, 30% egg shells, 5% citrus/banana peels, 3% Epsom salts, and 2% silica.

I feed a rabbit manure slurry during veg if needed and a guano/banana slurry during flowering in air pots under a 400W HID.

I throw some compost under the transplant for quick recovery and low shock and I always add worms.

Ran g13 pineapple express 1 and 2. They are easy forgiving girls that's get big and heavy and frosty. I'm bad at describing smells but it was like a sweet spice smell like fruit and pepper maybe. Lol but very nice and pleasant. Mine finished in 56 days but I left in 72 hours of darkness. The yield for the pineapple express 1 all five no topping lst or nothing just straight flora nova and nothing else a pound n a oz n a half. Now the pineapple express 2 was very good great taste smell and yield I got close to 5 zips a plants.

Thanks for the info. Just what I was looking for. I got the original, not their number 2. That gives me some hope.

Thanks.

I ran them and they were good and to be honest that was the first time I ever grow anything lol. And to have the success I had was unreal. 4x8 tent two 1k lights 2 fans a portable ac unit. 7gal grow bags, promix hp and flora nova. And to get ova 2lbs of sum very decent bud. Shit man @G13 labs alrite wit me. And I wanna say tude sent me two freebies of blue og from g13 I think but they was fye 2 .

I guess I should add to be fair, on my first round (in the sig by the way) the midnight kush was actually my 2nd best smell, it was very nice on the grape/blueberry aromas, but couldn't weigh in at nearly enough, and like I said, potency was lacking, I could smoke it like I smoke cigs. I'd be a much sillier guy, but could totally do it!
