Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver
Also known as: Pineapple Express Sour Lifesaver, Pineapple Sour Lifesaver
Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver Strain Overview
Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of two popular strains: Pineapple Express and Sour Lifesaver. This combination brings together the tropical, uplifting qualities of Pineapple Express with the sweet, candy-like characteristics of Sour Lifesaver. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid with both recreational appeal and potential therapeutic benefits.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's crystalline appearance, which indicates its high resin production. The buds often have a slightly conical shape with a moderate calyx-to-leaf ratio.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines tropical fruit notes with sour candy undertones. The strain is known for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique flavor combination and versatile effects profile.

Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver Strain Growing Information
Pineapple Express x Sour Lifesaver is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 90-120 cm (3-4 feet), while outdoor plants can grow taller, reaching 150-180 cm (5-6 feet) under optimal conditions. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-700 grams per plant. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Regular feeding with balanced nutrients is recommended, though growers should be cautious with nitrogen during flowering to avoid nutrient burn.
