Weird_Jimmy Started Jan 1. Wasn't going to do a diary on this but it is taking forever to finish...but its ok...the buds just keep getting fatter. I stopped nutrients at week 12. Pure water only with minimal to no run-off. have defoliated as much as I can but the tent is so packed I cant reach all the leaves. The bottom row still has green. All the pistols are mostly red, still some fresh white ones coming out. Slight Foxtail growth, but it looks like most of the Tangerine Ive seen out on the web with plant comparable to this one. I harvested one side cola a week ago and have sampled it when it yesterday...love it! Uplifting high, very strong, great taste and smell. once the pistols have allmost all turned red I will go ahead and harvest even if the Amber isnt present. I grew this strain for the uplifting effects anyway and the early sample has proven it will be great.
It took longer than I expected, but that was just my lack of total understanding of all the variables that can play into autos, I suppose. Loved the aroma of the plant as its flowers plumped up.
The high is almost instantaneous. Very nice head rush! If toked too close to bedtime it may keep you up for a while. The buzz is long lasting and great for visuals and music. It has a 'medium' level of CBD in it and I have noticed that when my back or hip pain flair up, after toking this the pain diminishes for hours! Way better than taking pain meds like aspirin or Tylenol. I also occasionally tweak my groin muscle and this soothes the pain very quickly. The relief is noticeable and fast. While some of the non-CBD flower Ive toked does make you forget about the pain, this actually seems to help with the healing. I also took one cola 2 weeks early, it had many clear trichomes. Its like a super strong cup of coffee!
The jar aroma is piney citrus and the taste is the same. Nice good big buds.

Weird_Jimmy Part of my lack of experience came into play as it did seem to be taking forever to make amber trichomes and stop making calix's. Not understanding my plant may have contributed to the airy buds that were the final product after dried and set in jars. Very frosty. Nice aroma that is way mellower than the live aroma. Ive been toking on a cola I took 3 weeks ago, it has great aroma, has a great up high. Its almost like a nice cup of coffee as it wakes me up and makes me want to do stuff. Long lasting. Its the sativa type high I was hoping for.
I wet trimmed all but the lower level branches. The total wet weight of the low level branches was 449g and dry trimmed is 65g. This is not included in the harvest weights given in the results. The main cola looked like a nice dense mini-pineapple at harvest, it weighed 90g wet and 10g dry (the placement on the dry rack was the breeziest so it probably dried too fast.) The main cola's weight is included in the final weight. So it didnt live up to its potential, structure wise,Large buds, lots of trichomes yet isnt something you'd want to buy in a dispensary because it looks like it was grown by an amateur. I am happy with the early harvested buds, its super frosty and sticky with a nice citrus-diesel aroma when pinched off for a bong, however its pretty bland taste wise when smoked. I chose diesel as a the flavor but thats not accurate with this early sample. When the final harvest is fully cured, I hope the taste is different.0
update: 6 weeks since being in the jars. The aroma has improved greatly. the aroma started noticibly improving right at the end of the 6th week. Its seems to be improving a little each day since. The smoke taste has also improved and the tangy citrusy taste is coming out. its a little sweet as well. Its is still marginal as far as total taste as the taste that are coming out are just a little weak. The way its been s changing Im hoping it continues to cure.
Taking a bong and almost instant buzz. Its mellower than the 2 week early cola sample I took. Still a daytime high, slow creaping into a full buzz and nice fade off, lots of fun energy and buzz when working outside around the house. For me it last a long time. but if im just sitting around I can doze off in the chair. if I start getting a little bored and drowsy, one hit is like a cup of coffe, but It doesnt give me insomnia like the early harvest samples do.
@Greeneyes2155, Thanks for checking out my grow! This was my first grow since college years. Here it is a year later after harvesting this plant and I am still enjoying it! Good luck on your Pineapple! Hope you grow some good big buds!
Cannapuck your diary is a great read for me 😉. I am growing same strain, same vendor. It's my first time growing autos as well as my first time with LEDs. And I am seeing similarities with the plant development. I really slowed my grow down with a couple of newbie errors, but was thinking that this auto strain might be a slower grow than others. Anyway, love what you have done! 😎
@dweemyss, This was the first pot plant Ive grown since college. Been dreaming of growing my own again ever since then (1982). When it became legal to grow in my state I immediately started planning this, I even grew my hair out to hippy length. This plant wasnt perfect, but it sure turned out great for me. While I have plenty to last a really long time, I want to grow it again. Good luck on your grow! Hope you get some good big buds.
