Golden Pineapple Feminised

Does Golden Pineapple finish outdoors in Ireland? It does, planted out at the end of May and cut by early October. The 50/50 balance handles an Irish season without special treatment, which is most of the reason to choose it. Bloom takes 10 weeks, so the harvest date is set by the calendar far more than by your technique.

What should I expect to take off it? Up to 350g/m² indoors and Up to 300 gr outdoors are the published figures, and both assume a full light or a full season plus a root run to match. A tunnel gets you most of the way to the outdoor number; a windowsill will not. At 23% THC the effort is well spent either way.

Is it a sensible first grow? Yes. It survives the things that go wrong in a first attempt — forgotten waterings, a feed mixed by eye, a shed that is cold by morning — and still produces something worth curing.

Soil or coco? Coco with fertigation at EC 1.4-1.8 through bloom if you are there daily and want speed. Peat-free soil with slow amendments — fish, blood and bone, seaweed meal, rock phosphate — if you are not, and want flavour. Both suit this hybrid; the deciding factor is your week, not the plant.

How does it handle the weather here? Hybrid vigour covers most of what an Irish summer does. Keep the root zone under 28°C and do not transplant into a warm spell.

When does bloom feed start? Within a week of the first pistils. The 50/50 balance shifts demand quickly at the transition — phosphorus and potassium up, nitrogen down. Soil growers top-dress; coco and hydro switch formula immediately.

Tunnel, outdoors or indoors? A tunnel is the best value of the three here. Indoors you own the 10 weeks of bloom completely; outdoors the plant gets light no lamp matches and can reach Up to 300 gr, and pays for it in rain. Flowering: 10 weeks. Indoor yield: Up to 350g/m². Outdoor yield: Up to 300 gr. Plant height: Short. Rated beginner difficulty.

The catalogue lists happy, relaxed, uplifted, and that matches what growers here report back. At 23% THC this hybrid sits where the balance is the argument for it. Small doses stay functional, larger ones relax properly, and the 50/50 split means the direction is set by the amount rather than fixed by the plant. The Caryophyllene and Myrcene together leave warmth and spice, drying on the exhale.

Suited to most occasions, with the dose doing the steering.

Primary: Caryophyllene · Secondary: Myrcene · Tertiary: Humulene. The three shift relative to each other across the cure. Straight off the dry the caryophyllene dominates; three or four weeks sealed in glass at 16-18°C and the humulene underneath comes up to meet it. Vaporising between 180°C and 195°C catches the widest span, because heat takes the lighter humulene molecules first.

Golden Pineapple suits growers at any stage, a first outdoor season included. It tolerates the ordinary early mistakes — watering by habit rather than by weight, a feed that drifts, a tunnel that runs cold overnight — without the crop coming apart. Photoperiod genetics leave plant size and harvest date under your control — veg longer for a bigger plant, or flip early when the ceiling is low. A bloom of 10 weeks fits inside the season here for outdoor growers, with a tunnel making it comfortable rather than tight.
