Pineapple Gunpowder
Also known as: Pineapple Gunpowder OG
Pineapple Gunpowder Strain Overview
Pineapple Gunpowder is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California and Oregon. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of the wave of exotic fruit-flavored hybrids. The name references both its tropical pineapple aroma and its potent, explosive effects that users describe as 'gunpowder-like' in their intensity. This strain represents a careful balancing act between its indica and sativa heritage, creating a versatile hybrid suitable for various occasions.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright orange pistils weaving through olive-green and sometimes purple-tinged calyxes. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of its indica lineage. When properly cured, the nugs break apart with a satisfying density and release their complex aromatic profile.
Notable features include its exceptionally long-lasting effects and complex flavor profile that evolves throughout the experience. The strain has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its unique combination of tropical fruit notes with deeper, earthier undertones. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream hybrids, Pineapple Gunpowder has developed a dedicated following in medical and recreational markets where it's available, often praised for its reliable effects and distinctive sensory characteristics.

Pineapple Gunpowder Strain Growing Information
Pineapple Gunpowder is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold issues. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some pruning and training to maximize light penetration and airflow. Special considerations include maintaining proper pH levels (6.0-6.5 for soil) and providing adequate support during flowering as buds can become quite dense and heavy. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques to optimize yield.
