Pineapple Express

Here’s a quick snapshot of the Pineapple Express strain:

• Type: Hybrid strain (60% sativa, 40% indica)

• THC Range: 18%–26%

• Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene 

• Aroma: Sweet pineapple and tropical fruit with a pine finish

It’s bred from a cross of Trainwreck, a potent NorCal sativa-hybrid, and Hawaiian, a tropical sativa landrace prized for its fruit-forward aroma. 

Crack open a jar, and you’ll see why the strain is named the way it is. The smell is fresh pineapple and mango, with a woody, slightly spicy finish note. It’s one of the more immediately recognizable aromas in cannabis, topical and bright enough that you don’t need to know anything about terpenes to pick it out of a lineup.

THC ranges between 17% and 25%, and varies batch to batch depending on the grower and the specific phenotype. As breeders have refined the genetics over the years, potency has crept up, so start with less than you think you need, especially if you’re new to cannabis.

Looks-wise, Pineapple Express leans toward pale green buds with light purple hues, loosely structured and easy to break apart, coated in a solid layer of trichomes that make the tropical aroma pop the second the jar opens.
