Pineapple Chunk
Pineapple Chunk
Also known as: Pineapple Skunk
Overview
Pineapple Chunk is a well-crafted indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica) created by the renowned Barney's Farm through crossing three notable parent strains: Pineapple, Skunk #1, and Cheese. This strain has etched its name into cannabis history by winning the prestigious High Times Cannabis Cup, cementing its exceptional quality and potency within the cannabis community. The strain's genetics can be traced back to its parent lineage, with the Cheese component bringing Northern Lights characteristics and the Skunk lineage contributing Afghani and Acapulco Gold traits.
The buds of Pineapple Chunk present a beautiful palette of light and medium greens, accented with minor purple hues, showcasing the strain's vibrant genetics. The buds are rock hard, soaked in resin and often have a crystalline sheen due to the amount of trichomes, appearing as if they came from the moon and are excessively covered with resinous trichomes. Pineapple Chunk's aroma is a delightful mix of cheese and pineapple, combining sweet and slightly skunky notes. The taste is described as the perfect blend of cheesy, earthy, pineapple, and skunk flavors. This strain flowers to a beautiful conclusion in just 55-60 days, rewarding growers with buds rich in resin that have a huge THC content of 25 percent.

Growing Information
Pineapple Chunk is indica-dominant with a flowering time of 55-60 days and yields up to 650g/m² indoors. Plants reach 60-100cm in height indoors and finish outdoors by late September. This variety is well suited for novice growers, being disease and moisture-resistant with stable genetics. The strain generally grows one main big, long cola from top to bottom but can handle various training techniques. Plants grow hard, dense, large buds that can be affected by mold, so a less humid environment during flowering is recommended. The plant responds well to Low Stress Training and SCROG techniques, and despite having very dense buds, it is resistant to humidity as well as pests. Outdoor plants reach up to 1m in height and can yield about 700-1000g per plant in open ground conditions.
