We've certainly come a long way since the early days of cannabis cultivation, when strains like Pineapple Chunk, with their exquisite flavor and powerful effects, were simply unthinkable. Today, with the breeding efforts of the experts behind KADAMA, this reality has become something you can enjoy.
Genetics and Characteristics
Breeders first crossed the classic and worldwide favorites Skunk #1 and Cheese, then refined the resulting hybrid with the exotic Pineapple. This is how the feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (80/20) Pineapple Chunk was created. The prevalence of indica is evident in every feature of this plant: a compact and dense structure crowned by a massive central cola and the abundance of sprawling branches covered with firm, pyramidal, resin-soaked buds. Dried and cured flowers contain up to 25% THC, with moderate CBD levels of 1.1%.
Flavor and Aroma
You'll experience a full range of nuances characteristic of this strain. Along with the rich pineapple flavor, you'll notice subtle cheesy undertones, a medley of tropical fruits with sour, sweet and slightly spicy notes, and an aroma of warm, wet earth after the rain.
Recreational and Medicinal Use
Used moderately, cannabis and its extracts effectively relieve stress and nervous tension, significantly improve appetite, and promote better sleep. Those seeking introspection should be prepared for an extensive cerebral high, accompanied by a body stone and a rush of inspiration. Whatever the purpose of consumption, KADAMA advises controlling the dosage and choosing the evening as the best time to meet Pineapple Chunk.
Cultivation
The strain is protected by stable genetics and is resistant to pests and fungal diseases. It's the great choice for beginners, as well. Plus, with Pineapple Chunk, experienced growers can focus on improving its performance using all the training techniques available (LST, tying, stretching, pruning, SoG, ScrOG).
Growers can use any known method to germinate cannabis seeds. By following all the requirements of classic germination techniques, KADAMA guarantees 100% seed viability. Planting seeds or seedlings outdoors should be done after the soil has warmed up enough (April or May, depending on the region). Feminized seeds produce only female plants, ensuring a harvest of pure sinsemilla.
When maintaining the plant, focus on the quality of the growing medium, proper drainage and control of pH and ppm (EC) levels. By following a strict watering and feeding schedule and carefully regulating grow room conditions, you can achieve impressive results with relative ease. If you see the buds covered with frost, don't rush to cut the plant down; let it reach its peak yield and potency, which will be evidenced by the presence of cloudy trichomes with occasional amber ones, as well as yellowing of the fan leaves.
FAQ
What is the best environment to grow this strain?
Pineapple Chunk is a true all-rounder that thrives both indoors and outdoors. For beginners, we recommend starting with outdoor growing.
What effects can be expected?
Given the dominance of indica, the primary effect will be a solid body stone. Users experience a lightness of thought, the ability to take unusual decisions, and a creative approach to any endeavor. A voracious appetite and sound sleep are guaranteed.
How long does it take for this strain to complete flowering?
When growing outdoors, start harvesting in late September or early October. The plant takes 8-9 weeks to finish flowering. Outdoors Pineapple Chunk will reward you with 500-550 g (18-19 oz) of high-quality buds from a single plant. Indoors, the yield will be around 600 g/m2 (21 oz). For a neat plant that barely reaches 1 m (3.3 ft) in height, this is an excellent result!
