After acquiring a bag of pineapple chunk I decided that I would have to grow this, the smoke was excellent, just what I was looking for. I looked around here for information on B.F pineapple chunk and there seemed to be a lot of negativity towards this strain. It would seem the information the breeder has stated seems almost false and in particular I have came across many posts complaining about long flowering times, in excess of 100 days and 250-300% stretch. However, despite this I decided to go ahead and buy some seeds as I want to smoke this again
I planted two seeds in 50 litre pots of coco and decided that I would SCROG this grow. I vegged for 3 months and when my screen was 50% full I decided to flip to 12/12. Now I have the long thin leaves, It is very nutrient sensitive and just generally looks sativa dom. No problems, however with only 50% of the screen full I eagerly awaited the horrendous 250%+ stretch.....
3 Weeks in and still no stretch. Great. I guess an under vegged screen is better than an over vegged one but after spending so long vegging these trees, its just a little disapointing that I haven't managed to fill my space.
If theres anyone out there who has grown pineapple chunk, Id be interested to know just when your plants started and stopped stretching. And what was the ideal e.c you had yours at. Mine seem to grow best at only 0.8!!! I just don't know wether I'm due a spurt or not
Cheers.
