I'm guessing you've got pineapple express that was an outdoor crop somewhere near where hemp grows wild (or some farmer is still smoking hemp) and you got some of that in a good pineapple strain - As far as pineapple express, she isn't an overly crystally breed, but very, very potent. Don't worry so much about the trichrome production, as many here will testify that a crystally nugget can still be a low density high. Pineapple is my #1 strain, and my favorite. Believe it or not, the reason she isn't reacting as well to your nutes, is because she wants MORE

Anything I feed my pineapple express I have to dilute by *****75%***** to give my other girls (now I just switched to RDWC so I have to play with my PH some to get her to eat right) in early flower is when her appetite REALLY picks up, and it stays that way into late bloom.

Would you like to know more? Another reason for your low trichrome count is because I'm almost 97% sure you've got hemp mixed in, hemp isn't really up in the trichromes either.

If I were you, I'd increase the nutes I was giving her by 50% JUST ONE TIME (next time you feed) to see if you note a difference in growth/production, IF YOU DO, then you know your grow buddy 'low' was right!

Would you like to know more? Another reason your not producing as many trichomes is because you MAY be underfeeding

I bet you were surprised when you found out I was right about the lemon pledge I know my pineys!
