Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Pineapple OG
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Limonene (dominant; provides bright citrus-pineapple aromatics); Myrcene (moderate to significant; adds earthy herbal depth)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Beta-Caryophyllene (spicy peppery complexity); Alpha-Pinene (crisp pine notes); trace amounts of Terpinolene, Linalool, Ocimene (floral and sweet nuances); exact ratios vary significantly by cultivator and phenotype expression
The Experience- Common Effects
Euphoric; creative; socially engaged; enhanced sensory appreciation; thought-provoking mental engagement; physical tension relief without sedation; maintains mobility and coordination; balanced functional experience
The Experience- Duration
Peak intensity 2-3 hours; mental clarity persists 4-5 hours total; gradual tapering rather than abrupt conclusion; physical effects fade before mental effects
The Experience- Onset
Onset within minutes; immediate mood brightening and sensory enhancement; mental energy and creative thinking increase; physical relaxation layers in over 15-30 minutes; balanced energized mental state with relaxed body; progression is gradual not overwhelming
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth; dry eyes; potential anxiety or paranoia with overconsumption (especially in less experienced users); slight dizziness during onset on empty stomach; rare mild headaches during comedown possibly related to dehydration
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Precision detail-oriented tasks (financial work, machinery operation); heavy sedation or sleep assistance; tasks requiring rigid linear focus rather than creative exploration
Lineage and Origins
Commonly documented as Pineapple Express x Unknown OG Kush Hybrid; alternative lineages include Sour Grape x OG Kush or complex High Five Genetics crosses; originated from West Coast breeding programs circa 2010s; genetics vary by breeder but maintain consistent tropical-fuel profile
Cannabanoid Profile
THC typically 17-26%, most batches 20-24%; CBD minimal (below 1%); minor cannabinoids like CBG present in trace amounts; high potency appropriate for experienced consumers; clear cerebral effects without typical high-THC confusion
Comparable Strains
Pineapple Express (parent; similar tropical profile but less OG fuel and potency); Tangie (similar limonene profile but more purely citrus without OG earthiness); OG Kush (parent; similar fuel notes but lacks tropical sweetness and more sedating); Maui Wowie (comparable tropical uplifting effects but lower THC and more purely sativa); Green Crack (similar energizing focus but mango flavor and more intense energy without body relaxation)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Decent environmental resilience; moderate mold resistance; thrives in warm sunny climates with consistent temperatures; requires proper airflow due to flower density; responds well to training without stress hermaphroditism
Cultivation Flowering Time
56-70 days (8-10 weeks); most phenotypes finish around 63 days; harvest late September to early October outdoors (Northern Hemisphere)
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 12-16 oz/m² (1.5-2 oz/ft²); Outdoor: 16+ oz per plant in optimal conditions
Cultivation Plant Structure
Medium-tall height (4-6 feet outdoors); typical sativa structure with moderate internodal spacing; requires height management indoors via topping, LST, or SCROG; branches develop good lateral strength; may need support during late flowering due to dense bud weight
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Generous trichome coverage creating golden-white frosted appearance; immediate tropical-sweet aroma with fuel and earth undertones; slightly sticky texture when properly cured; good structural integrity; vibrant color preservation; proper trim work; absence of seeds; complex inviting smell without mustiness
