Inspired by the most dissapointing strains thread...I'd like to share my experience and see if you guys have any like it..
Granted I've only been growing a few years and haven't been able to grow out many "elite" genetics...I've taken my share of strains from seed to finish..
Well when I first got into this I bought some seeds (was before I ever visited this site) and sort of as a joke I bought two feminized pineapple express seeds...
One of the plants wouldn't branch...just grew weird and seemed like no matter what it needed to be fed more...was just a hog....so I got rid of it...
The other one though turned out to be one of the most amazing plants I've ever seen...
It clones quick...veg's fast...and in the winter finishes in about 55 days and in the summer takes a bit longer cause it doesn't like the temps above 82-83 degrees...summer can take 63-65 days to ripen..
Pretty standard colors when its flowering in the warm...lotta green with a tiny bit of color on the fan leaves...
But in the winter it explodes with color...I'm gonna have to post my first pics in this thread...cause I'm about a week away from harvest on two very colorful girls. The buds themselves do get a little color...some red..some purple...but the trich's are so thick that you can't really see it through the sugar...
I'm not one that cares too much about bag appeal...but this is truly a pretty bud when its sitting in front of you ready to be smoked..
Yields decent..with some bending and tying I can get 2.5 oz in a 3 gallon pot of happy frog and a bunch of other organic goodies...likes to be topped and spread out bush style...the bottom third of the plant also gets completely trimmed cause she likes to throw nanners down below...rarely ever a seed though.
The high is top notch...easily a 9/10....straight to the head then extends to the body...very relaxing...I harvest at about 50/50 cloudy/amber and it never has me racing while trying to sleep.....but isn't the most couch locky either.....able to smoke a bowl then go get groceries ect...colors pop...especially this time of year when all the tree's are red/yellow...amazing getting blasted then checking that stuff out.
The smell...oh man the smell...after about a weeks cure it smells really really piney and fruity...just awesome...one of those that you have to keep sticking your nose in every few hours...
But after about a 2-3 month cure...it turns to a golden grown color and the jar smells like iced tea with lemons....its awesome.
Taste is the same..9/10..earthy with a little fruitiness....the exhale stays with you for awhile...I love it...citrus tastes start to come out after a long cure...
I'm definately gonna have to post some pics...
I'd also like to get some expert opinions as to what the genetics might actually be...I wanna say its crossed with some kinda kush cause that earthy taste to it just screams kush...
But who knows...anyhow...tonight I'll try to snap some pics and do my baby justice (hopefully I don't embarrass her).
So...I'd love to hear any stories you guys have of maybe bagseed from average weed turning out to be a monster or some freebies that you got that gave you your holy grail ect..
