Concrete Colada
Also known as: Concrete Pineapple, Colada Concrete
Concrete Colada Strain Overview
Concrete Colada is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the robust genetics of Concrete Shoes with the tropical characteristics of Pineapple Express. Developed in the early 2010s by boutique breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive flavor profiles, this strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its unique combination of effects and aromatic qualities. The name references both its genetic heritage and its notable tropical flavor notes that contrast with its solid, reliable effects.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure reminiscent of its Concrete Shoes parentage. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating an attractive visual contrast. The most distinctive feature is its aromatic profile, which combines earthy, gassy notes from the Concrete Shoes lineage with sweet, tropical fruit undertakes from the Pineapple Express genetics.
Concrete Colada is considered a well-balanced hybrid with effects that begin cerebrally before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its reliable performance and consistent quality across different growing environments. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its complex flavor profile and versatile effects that work well for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage.

Concrete Colada Strain Growing Information
Concrete Colada is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.5 meters indoors, up to 2 meters outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for the weighty colas. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and shows good resistance to common pests and diseases.
