Pineapple Express Seeds

About Pineapple Express

This world renowned strain gets its name from its mouth-watering pungent fruity aroma. The orange hairs on these light green buds will bring pineapples to mind at first glance. However, some believe the name comes from the plant’s Hawaiian roots and is named after the moisture stream that travels from Hawaii to the USA.

The strain has really grown in notoriety and popularity since the 2008 stoner comedy movie of the same name. This had some people questioning if the strain was even real. Doubts were quickly forgotten as Pineapple Express is wildly popular and available in many West Coast dispensaries. The strain has some strong medical value too in helping those suffering from depression, fatigue and pain.

Pineapple Express Genetics

Pineapple Express was grown after crossbreeding its parent strains Trainwreck and Hawaiian. The strain is also responsible for many pineapple-named offspring such as Pineapple OG and Pineapple Trainwreck. This one packs a powerful fruity punch with almost no CBD content and a THC level of between 20-25%. The unique flavour and odour of this unique strain is thanks to a complex formation of terpenes such as myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene. As a sativa dominant with a 60:40 ratio, this plant delivers a well-balanced buzz.
