Also known as: Ancient Pineapple OG, Pineapple Ancient
Ancient Pineapple Strain Overview
Ancient Pineapple is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive tropical aroma and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely as a phenotype selection from a larger breeding project involving pineapple-flavored varieties. Breeders sought to combine the sweet tropical flavors of pineapple strains with the relaxing, earthy characteristics of older, more traditional cannabis genetics, hence the 'Ancient' designation in its name.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional amber and orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The most notable feature of Ancient Pineapple is its aromatic profile, which strongly evokes ripe pineapple with undertones of tropical fruit, complemented by earthy and pine notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart. The flavor translates well to consumption, with a smooth smoke that carries sweet pineapple notes on the inhale and earthy, slightly spicy notes on the exhale.
Ancient Pineapple has developed a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts as a reliable daytime strain that provides balanced effects without excessive sedation. Its genetic heritage appears to combine sativa and indica characteristics in roughly equal measure, resulting in effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to gentle physical relaxation. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where tropical-flavored cannabis varieties are appreciated, though it remains less widespread than some mainstream pineapple strains.

Ancient Pineapple Strain Growing Information
Ancient Pineapple is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments. The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure to lower branches. Ancient Pineapple prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and requires good airflow to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
