Pineapple Express

Description from Barney's Farm

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Pineapple Express delivers a distinct tropical flavor with fresh-cut pineapple, tropical fruit, and mango undertones. It also carries hints of cedar and spice, while its aroma is a powerful blend of smoky, funky, skunky notes with a strong citrus scent and an irresistible fruity citrus mix.

Genetic Lineage and Characteristics

This 60% sativa-leaning hybrid is the result of crossing a landrace Hawaiian sativa with Trainwreck, a strain born from the selective crossings of Afghani, Mexican sativa, and Thai landraces. Known for its resilience, Pineapple Express is naturally resistant to mold and disease, making it an easy-to-grow option for both novice and experienced cultivators.

Growth and Yield

Pineapple Express is a medium to tall plant, reaching heights of 110–140 cm indoors and over 2 meters outdoors under ideal conditions. Indoors, it flowers in 55–65 days, while outdoor harvests occur in early to mid-October. It produces dense, slightly stretched buds with a lime and yellow hue, covered in resinous trichomes and bright red and amber hairs. Indoor yields range from 600–700 g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 1500–2000 g per plant.

Effects and Experience

Pineapple Express delivers the signature cerebral rush of a sativa, followed by a long-lasting energetic boost. This transitions into a calming yet stimulating full-body high, leaving users happily focused, alert, and relaxed. The effects are both invigorating and euphoric, making it ideal for creative sessions or social gatherings.

THC Content and Potency

With a THC content that can exceed 28%, Pineapple Express is a potent strain. Its potency is further enhanced through techniques like supercropping, which intensifies its unique scent profile of sweet pineapple and cedar, along with subtle spice notes.
