Pineapple Grapefruit
Also known as: Pineapple Grapefruit Kush
Pineapple Grapefruit Strain Overview
Pineapple Grapefruit 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 unclear, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely bred by crossing fruity sativa-dominant strains with indica genetics to create a more balanced experience. The strain is known for its unique combination of sweet pineapple and tart grapefruit aromas, which make it particularly appealing to users who prefer fruity, citrus-forward cannabis varieties.
Visually, Pineapple Grapefruit typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that can develop under cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply against the green background. The strain's leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, characteristic of its hybrid genetics.
Pineapple Grapefruit is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The high typically begins with an uplifting, euphoric head buzz that gradually transitions into a gentle body relaxation without causing excessive sedation. This makes it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on dosage. The strain has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its exceptional flavor and aroma, which closely resemble its namesake fruits with additional tropical undertones.

Pineapple Grapefruit Strain Growing Information
Pineapple Grapefruit is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
