Pineapplegum
Also known as: Pineapple Gum
Pineapplegum Strain Overview
Pineapplegum 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 obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding projects in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The name derives from its pronounced pineapple aroma combined with a bubblegum-like sweetness that characterizes its terpene profile.
Visually, Pineapplegum typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, reflecting its hybrid genetic composition.
Notable features of Pineapplegum include its complex aromatic profile that evolves during the curing process. Initially, the scent presents as sharp and citrusy, gradually developing sweeter, candy-like notes as the buds mature. The strain is known for its resin production, making it suitable for extraction purposes. While not considered a rare strain, Pineapplegum remains more commonly available through specialized dispensaries and seed banks rather than mainstream commercial channels.

Pineapplegum Strain Growing Information
Pineapplegum is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
