Purple Pineapple
Also known as: Purple Pineapple Express
What is the Purple Pineapple strain?
Purple Pineapple is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Purple Pineapple is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Purple Kush and Pineapple Express, resulting in a balanced cultivar with distinctive characteristics. The strain was developed to merge the relaxing, body-focused effects of Purple Kush with the uplifting, energetic qualities of Pineapple Express, creating a versatile hybrid suitable for various times of day. While its exact origin remains somewhat unclear in cannabis breeding circles, it gained popularity in the 2010s through West Coast dispensaries and has since become available through multiple seed banks.
The strain is visually striking, featuring dense, conical buds that display a vibrant color palette. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple hues interwoven with bright green calyxes, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and punctuated by vibrant orange pistils. The purple coloration, inherited from its Purple Kush parentage, becomes more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production and sticky texture when properly cured.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics, combining fruity pineapple notes with earthy, grape-like undertones from the Purple Kush lineage. Purple Pineapple typically flowers in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields. While not considered a beginner-friendly strain due to its specific temperature requirements for optimal coloration, it remains popular among cultivators seeking visually impressive plants with reliable performance.

Purple Pineapple is considered an intermediate-level strain to cultivate. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates.

Outdoor plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm and yield 500-600 grams per plant.
