One thing is for sure, all three plants grew SUPER crystals. Maybe it was because of Terpinator.

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.

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.

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.

I harvested one plant of this strain. Pineapple Skunk from Humboldt Seeds. Summary: * Growing: This was a sturdy but petite grower until late in flower. * Smell: This one smells so good I can't even explain it. I'll try. It smells like citrus cheese. Super dank, and just super amazing. Very unique and my first cheesy strain to ever smell! Wow, cheesy! You could definitely call it skunky too, probably just a lot of both. * Appearance: The buds are very dense and at the end started to turn purple. They are extremely crystallized, just full of trichomes. It started to fill out in the final week or so of flowering. * Life-cycle: I think this was just slightly behind the other two plants, but that worked to my favor since I prefer an early harvest. There were 1-3% trichomes. * High: A well-rounded and energetic high. Perfect for smoking during the day. * Overall: I just love this plant overall. The only issue I had was some minor mold. I also had a learning experience because I didn't address the mold when I first spotted it late in flower. It went away until it was curing and I kept it too moist. I lost a big part of a main cola but I think I took care of most of it. I just threw away what was moldy and dried the rest out to 59% before putting back in the jar, and in must smaller chunks. Keeping a close eye but I think it is good for now.

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 switched from a solid base nutrient to GHE mid grow, and this helped make a big difference in my hydroponics grow setup.

When growing I could only smell a mildew-ish musk unless I brushed up against the plant. When drying that smell became even more pronounced. Then finally, after trimming the buds I could finally smell the goodness. The shake doesn't smell all that great so maybe it had something to do with the leaves. The smell is very strong and hard to pinpoint, but perhaps somewhere between pine and citrus. The crystals cover the buds and leaves. I was concerned since this was a clone only strain. Now I can see that it takes the whole process to make the taste come out. It is in curing jars now, and when I open them up the smell is strong and wonderful. ************ Tasting Update! ************ We broke it out last night and tried a tiny nug. WOW this is some powerful stuff! I had smoked earlier in the day so I was feeling a bit lethargic, but once I took a hit of this my eyes felt lighter and I felt super awake. I even went back to studying after smoking it even though I thought I was done for the night. Super happy with the early harvest because of the effect. My fiancée tends to get sleepy from weed but even she felt super awake after a hit. I think it could use some more curing to help with the paranoia which I felt some. Micro-dosing this stuff may be my new strategy for studying. The taste was super fresh. I felt like I brushed my teeth or something after smoking it. Never had that effect before. Such an interesting experience to smoke your own weed. After over a decade of smoking I finally get to experience that. ******** Curing Update ******** The jars have cured for about 4 weeks now. The smell profile has come out quite a bit more and it smells delicious. The smoke is very smooth and not harsh. This is good news because I was afraid my flush was not successful but it appears to have been. The effects have mellowed out a bit. It is still a very awake high but becoming a bit more balanced.
