Pineapple Cove
Also known as: Pineapple Cove OG
Pineapple Cove Strain Overview
Pineapple Cove is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing Pineapple Express with Cove OG, combining the tropical characteristics of the former with the potent OG Kush lineage of the latter. Breeders aimed to create a strain with pronounced tropical flavors while maintaining the robust structure and resin production typical of OG varieties. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects, though it remains less commercially widespread than its parent strains.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a structure reminiscent of its OG heritage. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The buds are often medium to large in size and have a firm, resinous texture that breaks apart easily. The strain's name accurately reflects its most notable feature: a pronounced tropical aroma that distinguishes it from many other OG-derived varieties.
Pineapple Cove plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns with moderate height and branching structure. The strain has gained recognition within cannabis enthusiast circles for its unique combination of tropical flavors and classic OG effects, though comprehensive documentation about its development remains limited. Some sources suggest regional variations may exist, particularly between West Coast and East Coast phenotypes. The strain represents an interesting example of how breeders have combined popular flavor profiles with established genetic lineages to create distinctive new varieties.

Pineapple Cove Strain Growing Information
Pineapple Cove 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 occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm, making them manageable for most growing spaces. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support resin production.
