The pineapple chunk seems to grow very fast but does get one hell of a spurt of growth when switching over to 12/12 and hps like Hherk was saying so plan on a full 250% to 300% growth once you start flowering.

Hey,

Nice looking plants so far! :D Im currently in veg of my PC ( plus others) at around 3 1/2-4 weeks. I must admit the Pineapple chunk are leaders in size so far, however i have started a bit of LST, so hopefully they wont get too out of hand. Its interesting to see your grow to see what they will grow into ~ however, on looking at yours i figure yours are leaning heavily to sativa traits ( would you agree) whereas mine seem to be taking on Indica traits - well wider leaves anyhow. So i honestly am now confused to whats gonna happen to mine when i flip, ah well wont have to wait tooo much longer to find out as ill be doing it next week :D

Not completely sure but I believe my skinnier leaves are due to humidity being so low in my region, Most of the time I'm under 28% except for the very beginning when I ran my humidifier, but only ran it for first week and a half and stoped using it but not real sure. One of my plants however does have tighter node spacing then the rest. and my temps are around 87-90 except for when the lights go out and my ac comes on then they drop to 76-78. if that means anything.

Yeah I did cut one and it got even more growth going now but they should be slowing anytime now I hope cause I only have six more inchs of space to raise my light.

If I were to be using this strain in a SCROG set-up would you recommend switching to 12/12 well before the SCROG screen is filled and allowing it to finish filling during the growth spurt?

Nice plants!!! i have 1 PC in bloom 52 days in. I think i pretty much have the exact pheno as you do. Thinner blade leafs. Definatly sativa leaning. The best thing about these plants is how stiff the branches get after about 4 weeks of flower. they can definatly put on weight.

This strain seems to take forever to put trichomes on the buds. But in later flower there seeming to comeing on strong. The sativa pheno is definatly not a 55 day finisher like advertised. ill probally let mine go around 65 days. Ill try to post a pic . Your plants are looking real healthy! good luck to ya!

That amount of veg time seems totally unnecessary. I think long veg times are what is causing everyone to have such huge PC plants. I'm almost done with week 1 flowering but am just reaching the end of week 3 in total. I waited for almost 2 weeks in veg because a couple plants were behind due to me accidentally stunting them, and canopy height was still only 6 or so inches. My healthier plants could have been flowered after 8 or 9 days.

Optimal flowering height for PC is between 23" and 31". Just sayn', when I take clones of this I'm only planning on vegging them for 4 or so days, as height is a consideration for me.

LOL! just wonderd if you had seen my journal before saying that. I havent just got PC to consider, plus they are smaller than perhaps they should be cos i fimmed and LST'd them. More importantly the other strains i have are small plus i had 2 seedlings that didnt sprout when they should have done- thats why i have waited. TBH with LST i dont think the height will be an issue if i stay on top of it but hmm thanks for the er imput lol.

I think so. because when i let them start flowering on page 5 they were nothing in size compared to what they are now. I mean damn near every single side branch is as high as the tops on two of them.

Here are some pics of my Pineapple chunk. Definatly a Sativa Pheno.Its a eazy 4 footer. This plant was attacked by thrips about 4 weeks into flower. I would like to see what it would have done without the bug attack. Your plant is looking good!!!
