Smoked the first of the Pineapple Chunk after 5 days cure. Got to say I'm absolutely delighted! I've been smoking Barney's Blue Cheese and it's had me on a bit of a downer. This Pineapple stuff has a completely different affect. Maybe it's because I've chopped them a little early? A really nice clear head stoned! Smooth smoke, with blatant pineapple flavours, mixed with a savoury (sp) type smell. Cant fault Barney's genetics, and glad I've gone with them for the vast majority of my next grow. I've smoked 4 of their strains and every single one has been spot on. Only the unknown Nirvana Swiss Cheese that I'm unsure about. I am really confident in Barneys Farms descriptions. I chopped the first 2 Pineapple a week ago, and left the other 2, to see if there was any difference in growth. I haven't seen any change in the 2 I left so they've been chopped today. The Amnesia and the Vanilla are going to have another week and then they are coming down.
I'm gonna make a prediction on Yields... I started with 5 Vanilla Kush, 5 Pineapple Chunk, and 5 Amnesia Lemon. 4 Pineapple made it through to harvest. 5 Amnesia made it through to harvest, and 3 Vanilla made it through to harvest. Of the 4 Pineapple, the 2 I harvested last week yielded 5oz 23g as of today, so I reckon I should get a further 5-6 ounces off the 2 remaining Pineapple. The Amnesia and the Vanilla are a different story. I think I'm going to struggle for an ounce a plant. They had a decent veg time and a 600w HPS in a 1.2 X 1.3 metere grow space which should be enough right> I dont know, but everything smells perfect and I reckon I should be looking at 18 ounces minimum from the entire grow. Most excited about the Amnesia Lemon. I've been to Amsterdam, stones cafe, grasshopper, barney's... and many more, but this Amnesia smells amazing. I want to smoke it immediately...
I've moved them all into a different grow area where I'm setting another 50 plants away. Some pics tomorrow
