One of the most popular strains on the market today is the Pineapple Express. While the Pineapple Express became immensely popular after the release of the movie by the same name, it’s been around for much longer than the movie. The exact origins are a bit hard to trace as there is no specific data on where it first appeared. It’s a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain from G13 Labs that was developed by crossing the Trainwreck and the Hawaiian weed. It is the right choice for connoisseurs who appreciate the strains with higher than average potency. THC content in this weed can reach 20-23%. Growers love Pineapple Express Autoflower Seeds because the plant grows easy and gives a high yield.

Taste and Smell

Pineapple Express marijuana smells a bit like sweet citrus mixed with some tropical fruit such as pineapple while the aroma it gives is earthy, piney, sweet and kind of like pineapple. It has a nice fruity cocktail flavor with kind of pine aftertaste. It’s basically tropical, sweet and sour at the same time tipping over to some mango-citrus like taste mixed with pineapple.

Typical Effects

The effects are not as crazy as in the movie – you will feel uplifted and happy, your creativity will increase, and you’ll feel euphoric. Consumer report being:

Most people that reported back about the medical benefits of the Pineapple Express appeared to have their issues with clinical depression that was reduced after they smoked Pineapple Express. The uplifting and energizing effects really helped them battle their condition. The strain is known by its ability to get people motivated to get up, get out and do things that they wouldn’t otherwise do because of their depression.

Pineapple express marijuana helps with such issues as:

  • PMS,
  • Arthritis,
  • Multiple sclerosis,
  • Glaucoma,
  • PTSD,
  • Hypertension,
  • Chronic pain,
  • Muscular dystrophy

Just like all other strains, this one also has a few negative effects that might bother some people, although because it’s not too potent, the side effects are quite mild. Users noted dry eyes and mouth, dizziness, paranoia and anxiety.

Growing Information

Growers love this particular strain because of the great harvest it offers, although it’s pretty easy to take care of because it’s very tough against fluctuations in temperature and pests. Even as a beginner, it’s not too challenging if you have the right equipment and a place to grow it outside as it will yield much more buds there. Pineapple Express seeds aren’t too hard to find and it’s best if you grow it in the fall.

Pineapple Express is considered to be of medium difficulty to grow, so it would be a challenge if you’re just starting out but if you read up on some literature and get the right tools, you should get around. The climate this plant needs in order to thrive is a warm one with a lot of light and if you decide to grow it inside you’ll need a good ventilation system.

Depending on the place you decide to grow this plant, the Pineapple Express strain yield will be between 18oz per 1 square meter when grown inside and as much as 19oz per one plant when grown outside.

The expected flowering time of this plant is between 7 and 9 weeks and the expected harvest for outside growing is somewhere in the middle of October.

Pineapple taste as one would expect. A great strain for anxiety and stress. It has a good amount of THC and first puff will most likely get you high for a while. A good appetite booster although I wouldn’t go for it as the first option.

Nice smelling bud didn’t do much for my chronic pain. It made me feel happy, chatty, and friendly and stimulated my appetite. It didn’t help much with insomnia. I think there are better strains out there.

When you hear of a creeper then think about pineapple express. It has a slow building high but a few puffs and it knocks you down. If you combine it with another stronger strain you will be crawling to bed. I am not very impressed with pineapple express but I am kinda high, but I would choose better strains like Sour Diesel.
