About Pineapple Express

History & Genetics

“Pineapple Express,” believe it or not, is actually a meteorological term. It indicates strong moisture currents off of Hawaii that extend over the Pacific to the North American coast. In the mid-latitudes of the world, suffice it to say, water vapor is a big deal. Nowadays, the term is more directly associated with the 2008 stoner comedy of the same name, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. However, the film got its name from the strain, which I guess got its name from … Hawaiian water vapor.

Aside from a future etymologist’s splitting headache, the Pineapple Express strain can cause all kinds of body-numbing bonuses for your weary mid-day work sessions. Pineapple Express provides a blast of energy, one that promotes focused awareness and creativity. It got this from its parents, Hawaiian and Trainwreck. Some users have even reported so much cerebral energy that they start to feel a little dizzy, but this usually only occurs at large doses.

While you’re numb and happy, you’ll also be enjoying the strain’s funky, citrus taste. Surprisingly, the strain isn’t very sweet, despite an overwhelming taste of pineapple on the exhale. Tones of spices and woody cedar can also be easily detected. The dichotomy with Pineapple Express is feeling stimulated and calm at the same time. Your senses will be heightened and you’ll be ready to focus on stuff.

Effects

A 25% THC level on the high end means that even experienced users will probably enjoy the body buzz when they board the Pineapple Express. People who work creatively, especially at home, may find that the strain relieves their work anxieties – it’s known to be proficient at smashing writer’s blocks, for instance. Anxiety, stress, and mild aches and pains can fade as you drift, stimulated and focused, on the Pineapple currents.

Pineapple Express provides a great respite for a busy mind, promoting focus and heightened clarity. It pairs great with laid-back creative tasks like writing and studying, as well as reading, fishing, crafts, and yoga. Pineapple Express makes a great afternoon strain, whether you're knocking out some work or letting your creative juices flow. Some dry mouth aside, the strain offers a great entry-point for novices that don’t know where to start when it comes to their bud.

Growing

For growers, Pineapple Express grows in heavy nugs shaped like popcorn. It flowers in just over 7 weeks. To increase the strain’s potency, experienced growers recommend “supercropping” the strain. If you didn’t know, this means using bush-style growing techniques, setting up lights that are at least 600W, and regularly topping the plants. When done, the plant is dense, light green, and subtly purple-tinted.

Tastes like cotton candy and has an earthy smell. Works well for conditions like chronic pain and anxiety. Gives a very balanced medication that helps return both body and mind to homeostasis.

The smell makes you feel like in the forest. It gave me nausea on first breath and then rapid heart palpitations. Suitable for daytime use, did not cause headaches. Gives energy and euphoria. Not much paranoia. Feeling tired at the end.

Best strain ever. I have tried so many but Pineapple Express just gives everything I need. My mind is stimulated and body relaxed, sometimes even tingly.
