Hey everyone,
Just wanted to post a thought I had about high CBG strains, long flowering times and the strain Pineapple Chunk.
So I'm curing a batch of Pineapple chunk I finished last month. Like a lot of growers, the Pineapple Chunk never seemed to finish flowering. At day 45 of flowering, I saw a couple amber trichomes on the very tips of the sugar leaves. Waited still day 60, the buds got fatter but there were was no amber besides the ones I saw at day 45. I chopped the uppers at day 65 and let the lowers grow out to past 90 days. Still, no amber! I chopped the lowers a little past the 90 day mark. For both harvest, the taste and potency were very good despite no amber.
Sooo, I was looking at Pineapple Chunk test results online to see what other people are coming up with for terps and potency. Most of the test results were .7 % CBG and up. I even saw a sample that tested 1.3% CBG! This is high CBG right!?
I was wondering if Pineapple Chunk contains genes which delay trichome maturation hence the high CBG levels. Maybe we should be looking for plants which seem to be on the cusp of finishing, but never do, for high CBG. This would make sense because CBG is suppose to be a precursor molecule. Thoughts?
Peace and Love
