Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that was created by combining potent and popular parent strains Trainwreck and Hawaiian. The strain became popular worldwide when a film of the same name was released in 2008. Known for its desired effects, flavor profile, and one-of-a-kind aroma, the Pineapple Express strain of cannabis is highly sought after by marijuana enthusiasts. Boasting a monster THC content, this strain seems to affect users very quickly. The strong psychoactive effects, along with the uplifting feeling of euphoria, make Pine Express a great choice for daytime users. That added boost of energy is perfect for wake-and-bake smoke sessions, but be warned, you may have to deal with the munchies shortly after taking your first hit of this herb. AS far as flavor and aroma are concerned, Pineapple Express features one of the most delicious profiles in the cannabis kingdom. The initial fruity flavor you taste will soon give way to a hint of mango and pine. The aftertaste is similar to biting into a piece of fresh pineapple, this is typically what hooks people into choosing this strain over and over again.

Pineapple Express: Tropical Deliciousness
Pineapple Express seeds grow into taller-than-average plants with massive buds and bright green leaves. The leaves of this plant are thin and hang down below the crown of the buds. Looking closely at the plant, you can see crystal resin trichomes covering the surface area of those buds. The resin is responsible for some of the aroma associated with Pineapple Express. The harvested nuggets are dense and sticky, and when they are broken up, they release a pungent scent that old school marijuana fanatics go nuts for. When grown correctly, Pineapple Express plants get very tall and bushy. This adds to the hefty harvest you will reap if you grow your own plants. Even though Pineapple Express is one of the most popular and recognized strains of cannabis in the world, there is very little information about the awards it has won. What we do know is that multiple publications, both online and in print, have written about this strain. With so many people seeing the Pineapple Express movie in 2008, the demand for Pineapple Express seeds increased exponentially.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Pineapple Express is best handled by intermediate to master-level cannabis cultivators. First-time growers will need to gain some experience harvesting their own bud before trying to grow Pineapple Express. The strain does well both indoors and outdoors. Growing outdoors will suit this strain best as long as you can provide the correct temperature and humidity for this strain to thrive. Greenhouse grow setups are the best for this strain, while indoor grows should be done in nutrient-rich soil or hydroponics. High-intensity grow lights will closely mimic the sun’s powerful UV rays, giving these plants the best chance to hit their peak. If you are trying to replicate the natural growing environment for the Pineapple Express plants, then you are going to need to create a Mediterranean-type environment with ample light, air circulation, and climate.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Pineapple Express cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The light requirement for the Pineapple Express strain is 18-20 hours to ensure proper time of growth. Switching to a 12/12 light cycle will induce flowering and get you through your harvest.
- Moisture control: It is best to keep humidity between 40-50%. Maintaining a constant humidity of at least 30-40% is crucial for the growth of Pineapple Express.
- Training Techniques: Topping and Low-stress training (LST) and Sea of Green (SOG) methods are ideal for this cannabis strain. These methods will help adjust the canopy to allow light and air to reach every level of the plant, promoting healthy growth from top to bottom.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Pineapple Express strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Grown outdoors, this balanced hybrid should be ready for harvesting sometime between mid- to late October.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. These yields are fantastic, especially when you consider the massive THC content these buds are known for.
Dominant Terpenes in Pineapple Express: Mango and Pineapple
The Pineapple Express terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and ocimene are secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Found in spices and cannabis, this terpene has a peppery and spicy taste and smell.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in the rinds of citrus fruits like mango and tangerines, this terpene helps with anxiety and improves lung function.
- Ocimene: Monoterpene – Associated with basil and mango, known for its sweet, fruity, and citrusy aroma.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Pineapple Express
Cannabinoids play an important role in Pineapple Express seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That energetic, euphoric, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Pineapple Express strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 25%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and happy feeling you get when enjoying Pineapple Express cannabis.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Pineapple Express are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present.
