Winner of the 2009 High Times Cannabis Cup, this strain packs a powerful, tropical punch that is sought-after by veteran smokers and growers alike. Its popularity grows bigger every day and with its ease of growth it is popping up in more grow rooms than we can count. Once P-Chunk finds a spot in your rotation you won’t ever want to replace it.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Pineapple Chunk plants do well in both indoor and outdoor locations but this strain actually prefers to be grown outdoors in dry, warm climates. You are going to want to set your indoor grow lamps up a little farther away from the plant than you normally would. This promotes a more open bush structure and will ultimately produce more buds from top to bottom. Outdoors, let this plant soak up the natural sunlight. It thrives in warm climates and will do well in a garden or greenhouse or even a balcony setup.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Pineapple Chunk plants grow well indoors and grow very well outdoors. The ideal temperature for these plants is a between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. When it comes to lighting you will want to start with 18/6 hours of light to promote growth. To get the most out of flowering you will want to dial the light back to mimic natural sunlight and run 12 hours on and 12 hours off.
•  Moisture control: The Pineapple Chunk strain requires ample humidity levels of around 40-55%, and soil in the 6.0-6.5 PH range. During the flowering stage, make sure there is proper air flow because they can become vulnerable to mold and bud rot if not careful.
• Training Techniques: Topping and low-stress training can really help with the success of Pineapple Chunk. LST and topping encourage light to reach all levels of the plant, ensuring that every bud grows to its full potential.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Pineapple Chunk:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Pineapple Chunk seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That uplifted, sleepy and relaxed feeling you get when using the Pineapple Chunk strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a huge 26%, the THC in the Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and sleepy feeling you get with P-Chunk.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Pineapple Chunk are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep and even stress. The CBD in the Pineapple Chunk strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
