Pineapple Kush
Pineapple Kush
Also known as: Pineapple OG Kush
Overview
Pineapple Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Emerald Triangle region of California. This strain is the result of crossbreeding between Pineapple and OG Kush varieties, though the original breeder of this fan favourite strain remains a mystery. The strain has become a legend in itself in the Emerald Triangle and gained popularity for its unique tropical characteristics and balanced effects. The resulting genetics represent a fine balance of 30% sativa and 70% indica traits, creating a versatile strain suitable for various users. Pineapple Kush buds are known to be relatively dense, light-green in colour, and coated in a thick, sticky layer of trichomes. The plant itself is relatively easy to manage indoors, reaching average heights of roughly 70-120cm, while outdoors these plants are known to grow big and tall, reaching heights of over 180cm.

Growing Information
Pineapple Kush plants have a flowering time of 7-8 weeks and are known to produce big yields of up to 500-550 gr/m2 in indoor environments and roughly 500 gr per plant outdoors. The strain is considered easy to moderate grow and particularly resistant to the mold and mildew growers often have a hard time with. The strain is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor growing environments with a relatively short flowering time of 8-10 weeks, making it efficient for growers. The strain requires precise monitoring of humidity to prevent mold during the flowering phase due to its dense buds. Indoor growers should expect yields of about 1.8 – 1.97 oz/ft2 | 550 – 600 gr/m2, while outdoor growers can expect about 21 – 28 oz/plant | 600 – 800 gr/plant. The strain prefers temperatures between 70–85°F (21–29°C) for robust growth and vibrant flowering.
