Pineapple Punch
Pineapple Punch
Also known as: Pineapple Punch Auto
Overview
Pineapple Punch is a distinguished sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain originally bred by the renowned Flying Dutchmen in the Netherlands. This strain was created by crossing Skunk #1 with Real McCoy, a Hawaiian indica strain, resulting in a 70% sativa, 30% indica genetic composition. The Real McCoy parent brings Hawaiian landrace genetics combined with Skunk influence, contributing to the strain's distinctive tropical characteristics. Pineapple Punch has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its exceptional balance of energizing effects and manageable potency, making it suitable for both novice and experienced consumers. The strain exhibits dense, resinous buds with a sticky, frosty layer of trichomes and demonstrates vigorous growth characteristics. Its appearance features vibrant green buds with orange pistils, reflecting its tropical heritage. The strain has spawned several variations, including an autoflowering version created by Auto Seeds through crossing with Ruderalis genetics, and newer versions by breeders like 7 East Genetics that showcase enhanced terpene profiles and stabilized genetics.

Growing Information
Pineapple Punch is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 63-70 days (9-10 weeks) when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late October. Indoor plants remain relatively manageable, reaching heights of 4.5 feet (1.4 meters), while outdoor plants can grow taller. The strain produces average to above-average yields, with indoor cultivation yielding approximately 450 grams (16 ounces) per square meter, and outdoor plants producing similar amounts per plant. Pineapple Punch thrives in warm, humid climates reminiscent of its Hawaiian genetics, preferring temperatures between 70-80°F (21-26°C). The plants exhibit typical sativa characteristics with medium internodal spacing but respond well to training techniques like topping and screen-of-green methods. The strain is somewhat susceptible to overfeeding and requires careful nutrient management. Its aerated flower structure reduces mold risk compared to denser indica varieties.
