wow i really love how she look like .
something special for sure
Greetings,
I'm late to the show, but I'm now subbed. First of all, by all appearances, Pineapple Punch did a great job.
I have grown this strain before, long ago, but I may not have done it justice. I don't remember it being very strong. I have since learned to let sativas ripen more fully. I've seen dramatic differences in potency in the last two weeks of flowering. I don't remember the piney and incense aromas, only the menthol and a touch of lemon. You might have brought out the best of your seeds.
I wish I could go back in time and save those seeds. How often have I said that?! The good news is that a friend recently gave me some seeds that were crossed to this line. This is the reason I looked for and found this thread. Another friend promised me some seeds of Fett's 303, which is rumored to be a cross between Hawaiian and Papua New Guinea Gold. If all comes to fruition, I might have the makings of a good line with parents from each.
A year or two ago I met an old time grower from Hawaii. Of course, I asked about the old school Hawaiian before indica strains were introduced. He told me that Hawaiian genetics were mostly S.E. Asian strains, Thai and Cambodian, along with African. He got a gleam in his eye when calling out Swazi in particular.
Anyway, thanks for suffering me spouting off on what little I've learned about Hawaiian genetics. Once again, I'm admiring your fine work as I drool at the very Thai-like leaf shapes and resinous buds. I'm very much looking forward to your smoke reports.
One more thing. I've recently learned that some sativa genetics benefit greatly from a long cure. The potency can actually increase with age. I hope you stash away some buds and give a second report after a 6 to 9 month cure.

Just make sure you make lots of pure seeds and get them out there for others to try.
I do regret not buying some about 20 years ago when Marc Emery was selling seeds.
The cross I have has Hawaiian, Afghani, and Nepalese.
