  1. This is my first outdoor grow and I was lucky to get my hands on some pineapple Express clones… Planted May 21st, started to flower around August 21st, had to move indoor due to extreme humidity with rain. Will harvest on October 21st. Already harvested some branches when buds started to dry on branches and tried last night. What a pleasant taste and smell. Very smooth strain to inhale without coughing. I am very pleased the way it turned out.
