    Strain: Barneys Farm Pineapple Chunk(Pineapple x Cheese x Skunk)
    Indica/Sativa: Mostly Indica

    Bag Appeal: 9/10
    Some very dense nuggets on the non sativa pheno's I had. Also got some really nice purple in some of the larger stuff which I wasnt expecting.

    Smell: 10/10
    My fav smelling of all the strains I ran. Very distinct pineapple smell BUT funny thing, as its cured more, when you get deeper into the smell I can smell the Cheese hardcore, its great!

    Taste: 10/10
    this stuff is good, you kinda get this pineappley taste for a second but soon after that cheese taste totally sets in.

    The High: 10/10
    this is def an indica despite its sativa like growing characteristics. Starts in the head for a short time and then just straight up body rocks you. Im ready to watch this movie and PTFO!

    Yield: 8/10
    The mother indica takes the win for yield. Prob got close to 5-6 oz's from her. The rest of the plants being very sativa like gave me really whispy nugs. Total dry weight was 13 ounces.

    Final Score: 8/10
    * I wanted to score it higher but the flowering time kinda bugged me. I wasnt really in a rush to crop out but it would of just been nice if it had finished around its expected "claimed" date, id be further into my next cycle.

    Closing Comments:
    This was honestly the strain I was most excited for from the lot. I was very impressed and also disappointed. The fact I flowered for 90 days+ and then the added like 3-4 different pheno types with a couple that grew weird imo, I would say the strain is not yet stabilized. I wish I would of took clones from the mother indica cause she was the gold coin. If I could somehow get that really good indica dominant pheno again, I would run this again but besides that, the barneys farm claimed date of 55 days was way off. If im gonna do 90days+ id rather do a full blown sativa bitch like Kali Mist or something.
     
  2. Great smoke report, doom3crazy. Very detailed and I like your closing comments. 90+ days of flowering does seem a little insane, especially for an indica dominant strain. For me, the 3-4 phenos doesn't sound too out of the ordinary - I seem to experience that with just about every strain I grow. PC is in my spring outdoor lineup, so I'm glad to read your positive comments about this strain. Thanks for taking the time to write up a smoke report and maybe next time add a few pics. Well done.
     
  3. Updated with pics!
     
  4. YUMMM u can tell it's good when the finger tips looks frosty on pic 2! great grow
     
  5. Looks good man. I ordered 2 of these seeds from Barney's though Bonza. I got 20 seeds total from them. Only 2 that wouldn't sprout were these :(

    Looks like I'll have to try it again in the future :)
     
  6. Wow, pics/plants look absoulutly mouthwatering, great job!

    Man your pineapple chunk is what I was hoping to get. My two were completely different neither keepers. One took roughly 90, and the other was huge but still premature at 90 days. would have been a 4 month'er for sure. I was over this strain and barney's, but then I see stuff like this.

  10. Haha yea I feel you there. I was really happy with how this one turned out
     
  11. Absolutely loved the report, I just finished this myself literally the Bud went into jars yesterday. I had all of the success and mine came out in 56 days of flowering, trichs were over half amber, when I always chop. But I have read a few with longer flowering times. Mine is only the second that I know of to finish on time. But there is alot of evidence that this pheno isn't quite stable. That being said, it is a boom chaka laka high, worth growing, and even if it flowers longer sometimes, well still worth the grow. Well my Critical sensi star popped this morning, so growing that now. In case you were wondering I grow in a five foot tent, 400 watt mh for veg hps for flower Fox Farms soil ocean forest, grow big nutes during veg, and tiger bloom for flower.
     
  12. My yield was poor as fuck on the pineapple chunk. Didn't seem very nute friendly either.

    I did half strngth nutes every other water and tbey still either got nute lock out or nute toxicity really bad.

    What was produced was some fire as bud doh

    Man, those fotos of the Pine/apple chunk were really great. Nice grow!My posting here is more of a whine then anything else. Yeh, I am a crybaby when the flower times are going over 13 weeks which is where I am at. 3 more weeks is my limit, they get chopped weather ready or not. This excess flower time is knocking things around in my schedule for growing. If I only knew!I really don't care at this point if the weed is good or not. I will not grow it again, ever.
    OK, feel better, I am getting ready for my next indoor, Kush. Thts all we had in the 60's and 70's in the Garapata area of Big Sur. Perfect frowing weather and the regualr ole Indicia Kush was a great plant. Smell, high,. I am tried of these weird seeds like Tangerine Dream. Of course, it may be me as to my Tangerine Dream experience. I haven't always been happy with their seeds but Barney's delivers! No funny stuff, put your order in, give em your VISA or whatever and you have the seeds in pocket within a week.
    I am doing business with another company for my Afgan Kush seeds and so far, it is a nightmare. I ordered a week ago and they still have not answered one email about my order. They sure as hell didn't have a problem charging out my VISA card. I never dealt with them before and never will again. Customer support is important for me. 
    Thats all my whineing, good luck growing!!
    I didn't mention the name of the seed company because I really hate to bad rap a business. Maybe the owner is sick? who knows.
     
  14. Great write up and pics.
     
    Wow!
     
  15. My Pineapple Chunk is at 92 days of flower and is not ready. White hairs all over and clear trics!
     
  16. Wow I'd pay out the as for stuff like that. 60 a slice TAKE MY MONEY!
     
  17. I was planning on ordering these when I ordered last week. Now I regret not doing so :(
     
  18. FINALLY!!! A review I'm looking for on this strain! I'm going out my mind every time I look over at her in this crop lol. Yes she takes forever! I'm on day 67 and all white still. Very tight dense compact buds to yes, very sativa dominant looking so far. Still waiting for her to reach that bursting growth point... Very sensitive girl to, I barley fertilized her from the get go, and she red steamed up on me, lightning quick. Then had a little brown spot problem, OMG I was fearful. Then I flushed her for about the third time, and I'm pleased to say she is in ship shape for flowering time. But jeesh. I don't consider myself an "expert grower". But I know what I'm doing with MY grow room/technique, you feel me? I did nothing wrong and she did that out of nowhere... Anyways, her smell is magnificent yes, you have that harsh pineapple scent, that explodes the nostrils on intake. Very appealing. But I thought I got maybe, the wrong seed lol. You just provided the first good review I have seen in this train, throughout the entire internet. Thank you. Here's how my girl is going:
