I harvested 2 different plants so I will summarize them individually. The experience was very different with them all around.
** Pineapple Express #1 **
* Summary *
* Growing: This was a very energetic plant from the very beginning. It grew, flowered, and matured very quickly.
* Smell: The smell is fruity and sweet.
* Appearance: The sugar leaves and buds were covered in crystals and the trichomes are very thick as well. The buds were very fat and dense. Not a lot of branching, but a big producer in a small space.
* Life-cycle: Fully mature at harvest with around 5% or more amber trichomes.
* High: The high is a body high but gets me a little sleepy.
* Overall: Super happy with this one, although I will not be smoking it during the day.
* Stats *
* Wet weight: 10.1 ounces
* Dry weight: 2.0 ounces
** Pineapple Express #2 **
* Summary *
* Growing: It started off a little delicate but by the end was the biggest producer by far. It already had thick branches before the buds gained any size. The flowering speed was middle of the pack.
* Smell: From the very beginning this smelled exactly like fruity pebbles cereal. It has that same smell with more perfume after maturing and harvesting. The smell is wonderful but it isn't as strong as pinex-1, as of 2 weeks after harvest.
* Appearance: Beautiful purple and green buds with obvious crystals and red hairs. So beautiful! This side-branched like crazy and stacked tons of nugs across the main growth. Packed full of heavy thick buds, not as dense as pinex-1.
* Life-cycle: This was harvested at the perfect maturity level, it has started to gain purple leaves and buds but there were still very few amber trichomes (<2%)
* High: Already a euphoric and also an energetic high. My favorite effect of the bunch although its a close call with Pineapple Skunk, this one is a bit more energetic and happy.
* Overall: This is my favorite to smoke and it produced the most, so it is #1 out of 3.
* Stats *
* Wet Weight: 15.2 ounces
* Dry Weight: 2.7 ounces
I used a lot of new nutrients this grow so I would not yet be able to isolate any of the individual results.
The schedule I used seemed to fit well with the 3 different plants.
Buds grew SUPER fat and there were no signs of deficiencies until late flower and at that point it was minimal and likely user error.
I bought small containers and will be running out of these soon. If I miss them then I'll come back, but I'll have to experiment before I can have a constructive opinion.
The lighting made a huge difference for this grow. I'm very happy with how powerful while cool this light is. It is also adjustable so it fits all of my needs. At full power I could get 9 inches away from the plants without heat or light stress.
This was a great grow and only my second one so far. I am starting to figure out more about my setup and just keep learning things. My final harvest weights were more than I expected and I couldn't be happier!
It's time to see what our Pineapple Skunk can do now the light regime is on 12/12🤗
Bring on those big fat flowers dripping in trichomes 🤘
With love from Humboldt County✌️
