Who this strain is especially interesting for

Whether you're upgrading your indoor setup or starting your first grow, Pineapple Chunk fits perfectly. It’s ideal for:

• Growers who want high yields without massive plants.
• Those who love bold, funky flavors over subtle terpene profiles.
• Users in humid areas needing mold-resistant genetics.
• Beginners looking for a forgiving, high-reward strain.
• Veterans chasing dense, potent buds with minimal fuss.

How to integrate Pineapple Chunk into your grow routine

Start with a 7–11L pot and move to 18L by mid-veg. Use a well-aerated soil or coco mix—Premium Coco Substrate Pre-Fertilized Plagron gives a solid base. Top once early to encourage lateral growth, then let it shine. Water when the top inch feels dry, and keep pH between 6.0–6.5 in soil. In flower, reduce humidity to 40–50% and boost airflow to protect those dense buds.

For a hassle-free start, Mykos Root Paks Mycorrhizae speeds up rooting and reduces transplant stress.

Safe start: Germinate at 22–25 °C with high humidity. Transplant when the taproot is ~1 cm (0.39 in) long.

• Use a light, airy starter mix.
• Keep lights 25–30 cm (9.84–11.81 in) above canopy.
• Water lightly—just enough to keep medium moist.
• Avoid nutrients in first 7–10 days.
• Apply Mykos Root Paks Mycorrhizae at transplant for stronger roots.

Directed growth: Maintain 18/6 light cycle. Watch for early pistils as a sign of stretch.

• Top once when 4–5 nodes tall to boost yield.
• Use LST to spread canopy and improve light penetration.
• Move to final 18L pot by week 3–4 of veg.
• Keep pH 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco).
• Feed lightly—this strain is nutrient-sensitive.

Efficient flowering: RH 40–50%, strong airflow, and steady feeding.

• Switch to 12/12 to trigger flowering.
• Support heavy branches with soft ties or stakes.
• In week 4–5, add Piranha Advanced Nutrients for root strength and bud density.
• Monitor for hermaphroditism—remove any male flowers immediately.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest with plain water.

Harvest and refinement: Trichomes milky to 20% amber for balanced effect.

• Harvest when most trichomes are cloudy.
• Dry at 18–20 °C (64.4–68 °F) and 50–60% RH for 7–10 days.
• Cure in glass jars, burping daily for 2–4 weeks.
• Store in a cool, dark place for long-term freshness.
• Use trimmed sugar leaves for concentrates or edibles.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Pineapple Chunk last summer alongside a few other Barneys strains, and it stood out immediately. I used to grow more sativa-heavy hybrids that stretched like crazy and needed constant training. This one? Compact, bushy, and loaded with buds from the start. I topped mine once at five nodes, put it under a 600W HPS, and let it go. By week six of flower, the smell was insane—like pineapple upside-down cake mixed with diesel. I harvested at nine weeks, dried slowly, and cured for three weeks. The high is smooth, deeply relaxing, and just giggly enough to make chores fun. I’ve already reserved my next batch. If you want flavor, potency, and ease in one package, this is it.
