⭐Fotonic Buds ⭐

Today 25 July 2025 I have finally harvested Permanent Jealously, defoliate the most, leaving all the branches in position i cut right on the beginning of the main trunk, positioned the whole sample in drying room close to ventilator in controlled atmosphere (20°C at 55% RU) The plant, like her sisters, got a slow start in May, but after she get back and performed really good. During the first weeks of flowering I could say the terpenic profile leaning on heavy lemon-citric notes, while having a resin fresh note, and sweet base. During the last week the aroma of the plant faded away a little but still very pleasant. The buds are wide, ball shaped, coated in trichomes, very sticky, dense but not too much, I would recommend this genetic and 100% growing it again, if the smoke turns out not too strong. Plant shows a typical autoflower structure, nothing fancy, just a bit more "bushy" than the more classical "christmas tree" and for that i recommend LST or even topping, I believe this genetic can totally express herself inside grow box, I prefer outdoor so in any case this is my experience regardless indoor setups. Permanent Jealously showed more resistance to mildew and tolerance to nutrients despite his smaller size, especially of the root system, in comparison to Pineapple Slush (is the only possible reference i had during growing) In summary, was a funny plant to grow, I recommend this genetic to intermediate growers, because is a interesting benchmark for any experiments and techniques, the result is remarkable, buds are beautiful and strong.

Hello, today we reach a pivot point in the project Fotonic Buds. Pineapple Slush have been harvested. From the beginning she was growing slightly slower than #3 P.J. and overall i had the feeling that this particular genetic was a bit weaker and sensible. My feelings are correct because at the end of the cycle, is possible to make a direct comparison with the other plant (supposed to be with the other two ) and draw some conclusion. This sample was weaker than Permanent Jealously, but on week 5, starts to overtake her in height and general size of the structure, and also she was the first to build the main cola. I observed that #3 P.S. built the flowers one week later, and thought that the actual harvest could be one week in advance, and this was wrong because actually they been chopped together, so on conclusion is , Pineapple Slush was slower (and probably stressed by many factors) but once the flowering phase begun, she start to produce flowers faster than the other. Overall the resin on Pineapple is less than Permanent, and also the bud shape, as well as the plant structure itself, are different, we can observe two different genetics developing, Pineapple turned out more dark, a very beautiful dark emerald green, the plant structure is more tidy, classic "Christmas tree" with long internodal distance and well organized branches, in this regard I would like to say that this plant doesn't require any LST if growing tall, in my case, the project had a brake during the very first phase, and in order to maximize the harvest, I did training, but this is not necessary if the plant grows tall. She was easier than Permanent to defoliate during grow and easier to clean after harvesting. The buds are narrow and edgy, the biggest difference other than the shape was the pistils of Pineapple Slush, they are large and short, the smell of week 5 was tropical, and sweet, i couldn't tell any particular fruit scent, but just tropical fruity. Im week 11 she lost most of her tropical scent, but leaves behind a very pleasant "skunky weed aroma". The buds are dense, from the very beginning, and they look very solid at the end. I think judging by just the size, Pineapple Slush gave more flowers. This is the only aspect she did better than Permanent, as of the rest i prefer Permanent Jealously. (Take in mind: This conclusion come from direct comparison of growing experience from one single sample of two different genetics; First I could be unlucky, Second is regardless the genetic itself but more about the growing experience i had) In final, If you want to make this genetic, and you are at the beginning, i think is perfect, just don't give her too much nutrients, because on my sample, tolerance was scarce, let her grow tall, "sun and water". Also my sample showed mildew, so be aware of low resistance in outdoor. I think could be a nice chance to learn plant care and feeding schedule discipline. And if you really want to grow and smoke a solid Pineapple, the best one is Pineapple Express by Barney's farm, IMO is the OG and only option here, Pineapple Slush by Sweet Seeds was an experiment, a brand new genetic in catalogue, and my favourite breeder, so i gave her a try, and if the smoke is good, maybe i can grow her again in future, but she is far from the vibes the OG Pineapple Express gave to me the couple of times I grew it. I hope the aroma turn back stronger and sweeter than now!
