About Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express was created by crossing Trainwreck with Hawaiian genetics to produce a tropical, energetic sativa hybrid. While the 2008 stoner comedy of the same name turned it into a household name, the strain itself earned its reputation through a genuinely unique profile — sweet pineapple and citrus aromas with a hint of spicy cedar, producing an uplifting, creative high that keeps you active and engaged. The plants are vigorous growers with good yields and resin production.
