Pineapple Cola
Also known as: Pineapple Soda, Pineapple Fanta
Pineapple Cola Strain Overview
Pineapple Cola is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive tropical flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of Pineapple Express and a phenotype of Cola. This combination has resulted in a strain that combines the energetic, creative qualities of its sativa heritage with the relaxing, body-focused effects of its indica lineage.
The strain is visually striking, with dense, conical buds that resemble colas (the flowering tops of cannabis plants). The nugs are typically medium to large in size, displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a generous coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The name Pineapple Cola accurately reflects both its appearance and its aromatic profile.
Pineapple Cola is particularly noted for its complex flavor and aroma that evolves throughout the consumption experience. Users typically report initial citrus and tropical fruit notes reminiscent of fresh pineapple, followed by sweeter, creamier undertones that some describe as reminiscent of cream soda or vanilla cola. The finish often includes earthy, piney notes that balance the sweetness. This strain has become popular among both recreational and medical users seeking a balanced experience that doesn't lean too heavily toward sedation or stimulation.

Pineapple Cola Strain Growing Information
Pineapple Cola is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Pineapple Cola responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and manage height. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds. Some phenotypes may display purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
