Pineapple Express is a sativa-leaning strain at 18-26% THC, with ripe pineapple, mango, cedar and light caramel over a caryophyllene, limonene and pinene stack. Onset is 3-4 minutes, with an energetic feel and a relaxed body undertone. It crosses Trainwreck with Hawaiian.
From a Movie Title to a Strain
G13 Labs worked on the strain in collaboration with the 2008 Seth Rogen film, crossing existing Hawaiian Pineapple cuts onto Trainwreck. Flowering takes 7-8 weeks.
Energy With an Easy Body
The reported effects are energetic, with a relaxed body undertone, and they suit an afternoon hike, a side-project sprint or dinner with friends. Onset arrives in 3-4 minutes, and the feel lasts 2 to 4 hours inhaled, longer from edibles. With a THC range of 18-26%, batches differ.
Fruit, Cedar and Caramel
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene opens the stack with peppery, warm descriptors, next to the ripe pineapple and cedar.
Limonene
Limonene is the second terpene, described as uplifting and clear-headed, with mango in the aroma.
Pinene
Pinene is third, with a fresh, pine-like aroma next to the light caramel on the exhale.
Tropical and Berry Comparisons
Purple Punch shares the caryophyllene, limonene, pinene order, but is indica-leaning at 18-25% THC, with grape jelly and blueberry. Blue Dream is berry-forward and sativa-leaning at 17-24%. Sour Diesel is the gasoline option. Green Crack goes toward mango pulp with tropical citrus, at a lower 15-22% THC.
