hey stinkbud1 you hit the nail on the head i wasnt impressed at first & had problems [mainly my fault] but youre right this could be rewarding once you get the monsters under control as the growth rate is unreal i count flower time from the day i spotted first bud hairs[21 days after turning light 12/12] you answered my main question & thats how does it smoke i think this strain developes all the good stuff late in the game im glad i didnt yank it this is definatly a strain for mixed grows as it overpowers anything you put in with it

This is my first grow ever and my p.c is a beast i agree with the size they get though i think i know i vegged for a little too long! but its been in flowering one week today and i see alot of female pistils everywhere i dont know what you guys are doing to yours but mine is A OK AND THIS IS MY FIRST GROW EVER! ITS ABOUT TWO FEET TALL ALREADY AND FLOWERING AT THE RIGHT PACE. MAYBE YOU GUYS DID GET THE WRONG SEEDS BUT I DONT AGREE WITH ALL THE NEGATIVITY ABOUT BARNEYS FARM PINEAPPLE CHEESE SKUNK.

I agree with you mine are 1 week in flowering and there are a bunch of pistils poking out! i have been taking real good care of her and she loves it!

best go organic im growing mine with the general organics line. veg for about 3 weeks and then flower them reason being is i vegged mine for way too long and the thing is a monster. its in 1 week of flowering and definately see female pistils everywhere in just a week.i topped it 2 times its over 20 crowns or heads should be a great yeilder. i had to put bamboo stakes in already 2 ft tall just dont over feed or over water....also use a organic pesticide and insecticide. but i love this plant and it shows the love right back i also removed a tonof fan leaves. justtake your time and she will be fine...oh yeah this is my first attempt to grow anything< and all the reading and studying is paying off!

dont be im growing one now and i dont agree with all the negative things being said about them its working for me and this is my first ever grow! 1 week into flowering its 2 feet tall with female pistils everywhere one week 12 on 12 off!

I also bought mine from single seed co. this is my first grow so by no means am i a vet yet! but i basically pampered mine with organic nutes from general organics...followed all the necessary requirements for feeding and watering ph. this girl is growing really well. Be careful not to overfertilize im doing roots organic soil with a little fox farm light warrior. its one week into flowering and its still healthy..also a lot of female pistils coming out. remember that less is better than more pay attention to her at all times possible.I cant tell you about the pineapple smell yet but boy is it getting a cheesy strong smell right now.

I finished a Pineapple Chunk on my last grow, and I loved it. It was a very stinky strain, but I didn't get as much stretch as I did on my Super Lemon haze. I grew a freebie that I got, and I ended up buying more I liked it so much. I let mine go about 65 days. It had a great buzz to it, and if you smoked alot you wll be couchlocked! I suggest you have a carbon filter if you grow this strain though. The smell of skunk will linger.

I am growing my first ever grow and guess what it is? pineapple chunk! the only thing i dont agree with is that attitude says its a indica! no way in the world...I am not a expert yet but what i do know is that its a strong plant. i got the right seed. at first i had problems because of the water i was using..but once i corrected the problem its been all good. its 1 week in flowering right now i already see pistils poking out every where..and its about 2 feet tall..either i studied like hell on growing, you guys got the wrong seed, or some mistake was made..but my girl is healthy as a kobe beef cow in japan! lol anyway here she goes!View attachment 2205627

my 1st.ever attempt.

I never grew a plant with so little smell as this strain, Pineapple Chunk. I had the yellowing problem ,as did many others. I contacted Barneys directly , trying to find a remedy to the yellowing, but they never responded.Therefore i threw out the two Pineapple Chunk phenos i had, in the garbage.The finished product wasn,t that good either.25 % THC ?. No way.
I tried growing a few seeds of each of the top three Barneys strains, and i think its all over-rated.I grew LSD,Pineapple Chunk,and Tangerine Dream. I used advanced Nutrient products,and flushed properly.
If you had success with any of those strains i mention above, cool. I,m moving on to better genetics.

i like vanilla kush and pineapple chunk - both are good producers and make nice tasting buds for me.. LSD was too small though and Tangerine took way too long for my outdoor climate..

This is my PC grow. Under 600 watt HPS in 1 gallon containers with a soil and bat guano mix. 4 weeks from the day I planted the seed and had the light at 18/6 I switched it over to 12/12 and had pistils within 4-5 days, these pictures are taken 11 days into flower. As you can see in the one picture I have had some problems with curling on the leavees i believe due to heat and light stress also these plants seem to like humidity which could have helped prevent that. I was hoping to chop after 8 weeks of flowering but after reading everything i think it'll be closer to ten weeks. Not sure what to expect as far as yield since everything I've read says this is a very fluffy strain lacking density but worth the wait as far as the smoke goes to I hope that holds true. This is my first grow, so I would appreciate any constructive criticism anyone has. Thanks.

Very happy i found this thread. Guess ill be starting them a month later, thanks everyone

Felt compelled to throw in my 2 cents as I want to reinforce what a few others have said. My first grow of Barney's Farms Pineapple Chunkand I'm not disappointed overall, but I will never again grow a particular strain w/o extensive board research. The good news is at day 76 of flowering, the buds are very large, firm/dense, has a strong funky smell and tons of resin glands. Gives every hint of potentially being very good smoking pot.

The bad news is at day 76 of bloom, I cannot find an amber resin glad anywhere. Believe the phrase is lie to me once and get caught, and everything is a lie from now on. It's three weeks past what Barney advertises it to mature and have to say it sure looks more sativa than indicia to me. Augh.......smells like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck. Not an eagle like they are proposing.

Again, I'm not disappointed in the strain, disappointed inthe breeder for lying. The thing is they tarnished their reputation and future sales for a quick fix lie. If they had just told the truth that it takes a long time to finish........It's OK. As long as it is a superior smoke, I'll deal with it.

The only other note (haven't smoked any yet so that's still a mystery meat) is I also got nutrient burn as has many others. Two Pineapple chunks were started a week earlier than a single Dinafim Cheese and were given the same nutrient/light and water schedule. No burn at all on the Cheese and it has been harvested, dried and already almost one week into cure.

Will I plant any of the remaining three PC seeds I have? We'll know after it's cured properly and smoked. If it is a killer as some say. Sure. If not...... welcome to some obscure part of my yard and best of luck to ya.

Did you start counting your flowering days when you flipped or when it started making some calyxes?

I grew out a pineapple chunk a couple years ago. Figured it should finish in September from the description.. I chopped it down at thanksgiving because the weather was wet and rainy. It wasn't ready, but I was going to lose it if I didn't. I won't grow it outside again. However it was huge!

g;day, my p/a chunk is indica dom for sure ,huge fat fingered leaves ,5 1/2 feet tall outdoor grow in almost full sun. she looks the goods to me. still several weeks before flowing should start cant wait. ive also got white widow x skunk1, looks great also 4/12 feet tall classic shape. both from herbies. goodonya ,burt.

I am growing five Barnie's Pineapple Chunk and it has been a finicky bitch so far. Mine seems to look like an even cross between indica and sativa based on leaf appearance. Not too diff from smr73. I am about 5.5 weeks into flower (12-12 flip) and bud growth is slow. I am glad I found this thread because it seems to echo what I am experiencing. So I guess i need to be patient and not expect the harvest time as advertised.

I have 5 clones down from these that are doing well. But now my prob is figuring out how to keep them vegging longer than planned until I can get them into the flower tent (I veg in a small cab).

I too hope the dank is great or else i will be disappointed with the strain. It sounded so great and I picked because it was supposed to be an easy, durable strain to work with. Thus far, it has been more difficult than any others I have grown.

I grew this with Van Kush and I was not happy.

Moly because I got buds that were not ripe. This takes Longer then 70days to finish as does the Van Kush I will try them again at some point they smelled and looked why better then they smoked

WOW do not but this strain! It is a stretchy bitch and should only be done out side in warm climate! What a waste of cash. I live in a cold climate and it is to much for the room to handle! Barney's Farm should Know better to put something out that is not ready and then to lie about it like they did!

With all due respect, don't pick on the strain because you didn't look into the genetics. It's winter where most of you are at ( it's summer for me) of course it's not going to perform unless you have 110c all day in winter. That's the beauty of where I'm at. So the pineapple chunk performs like a beast, really I'm not trying to say I'm / your better. It's about light, outdoor light.

well since this thread reappeared i may as well give the final verdict. this shit was positively awesome. finished in about 9 weeks (could have went another week but i was running out of room in my veg tent). it had a very sweet candy smell, similar to the super lemon haze i grew, but the buds were fatter. it finished very frosty, and the taste was superb. it was definately an indica stone but not a couchlock, 7.6/10. i managed to accidentally reveg the harvested plant and now i have a few clones of the shit. my pheno was just awesome. plus it got pollinated by another strain i liked so i'm actually growing its offspring as we speak.

What that's awesome what Di it cross with
