I've seen those grows and I'm sitting on some of those beans. I did consider if I get the space to give those ago. Surely not all they have is bad. Just grew out a couple gigabuds and was not impressed. Smelled good but wasn't a really good plant. C smoke really
My two were b-. Tasted and smelled like it could be any other 100s of nondescript b smokes. Same for the 3 pineapple express. B- and C; nothing resembling pineapple.
I would give our pinex a B+, but perhaps you're just used to a different standard. PE earned some bonus points because it is very reliable. If you only have limited time and can't risk a total fail then PE is a pretty safe choice. Idiot proof to grow, tolerant on nutes and temperature.
I must admit, the best PE i've ever seen was the attitude freebie from about 2.5 years ago but i haven't seen this pheno out of the 10 seeds bought later. The more indica looking ones from later were still good enough to give them another go if time is an issue. I'm still looking for new options since i am fully aware that Pinex is nothing special.
