Pineapple Express

Two weights of this Pineapple Express flower are offered, 14 g and 28 g, and it is labelled hybrid. Leafly traces the strain to Trainwreck and Hawaiian.

Dense, curly buds with fiery amber hairs

Growers quoted on Leafly say the buds come out dense and curly, with deep green leaves and fiery amber hairs, and Leafly notes that the plant suits hot climates. AllBud describes evenly weighted nuggets that look like Styrofoam popcorn. One customer wrote of “super fresh, sticky buds with that sweet, tropical aroma.”

Citrus and pineapple over earthy pine

Leafly’s description pairs bright citrus with pineapple and earthy pine notes and links that profile to caryophyllene, limonene and ocimene. By AllBud’s account the smell is funky with citrus overtones, and a hint of pineapple comes through on the inhale. AllBud’s aroma tags are earthy, pine, pineapple and sweet.

In our Pineapple Express guide, Steven De Guzman points to an AllBud reviewer who compared the sticky buds to pineapple juice. His suggestion is to play on the name: put out fresh pineapple, or pour a cold glass of pineapple juice, to go with it.

Myrcene first, energized and creative in AllBud tags

Myrcene tops Leafly’s terpene list for Pineapple Express, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. On the effects side, AllBud’s users tag the strain with euphoria, focus, energized and creative, and AllBud classes it as sativa-dominant.

Two weights to keep fresh, plus strain THC

For keeping 14 g or 28 g in good condition, see our guide on how to store weed. For the strain in general, Leafly shows THC around 20% and AllBud lists 25%. When smoking, Health Canada suggests starting with 1 or 2 puffs the first time, treating 10% THC or less as the ceiling and giving the effects up to 30 minutes to build fully.
