also known as Pineapple OG
Pineapple traces back to a phenotype of Ed Rosenthal Super Bud and is named after its pineapple aroma; several breeders offer their own versions.
Sensi Seeds released Ed Rosenthal Super Bud in 2006, named after cannabis activist Ed Rosenthal, and describes the strain's scent as reminiscent of pineapple. A phenotype of this line gave rise to Pineapple, a selection named after its aroma that today exists in several versions from different breeders. Who carried out the original selection is not clearly documented.
According to Sensi Seeds, Ed Rosenthal Super Bud combines genetics from Africa, Central America and Southeast Asia; the breeder keeps part of the sativa lineage confidential. Several strain descriptions trace Pineapple back to an F2 phenotype of this strain and place its breeding at Sensi Seeds. However, Sensi Seeds' own strain page for Ed Rosenthal Super Bud does not mention a Pineapple of its own, and a genealogy database lists the parent strains as unknown. Descriptions classify the strain as a balanced hybrid with 50% indica and 50% sativa, though the breeders' versions deviate from this.
As a parent, Pineapple appears in a number of crosses. Royal Queen Seeds lists the combination of Pineapple and OG Kush for Pineapple Kush, while another description names Master Kush as the crossing partner. Genealogy records also list Lemon Pineapple from 710 Genetics and Pineapple 99 from B.C. Grown as offspring, and one strain description names Candy Apple.
SeedStockers describes the origin of its feminized version in more detail: cuttings were taken from a single Ed Rosenthal Super Bud phenotype and inbred over generations to stabilize the fruity aroma. The breeder states an 80% indica share, 25% THC and a flowering period of 56 to 63 days, along with yields of up to 400 to 450 g/m² indoors and 500 to 550 g per plant outdoors at a height of 50 to 150 cm.
CH9 Female Seeds likewise traces its Pineapple back to an F2 phenotype of Ed Rosenthal Super Bud; the inbred, feminized selection was released in a batch of 450 seeds. According to the breeder, the plant stays short and flowers in 7 to 8 weeks. CH9 states a yield of around 80 g per plant indoors after a 35 to 45 day vegetative period, and an average of 300 g or more outdoors. Also listed, under unknown origin, is a Pineapple classified as sativa-dominant, said to stay short, flower quickly and never have been offered as feminized seed.
Pineapple and tropical fruit set the tone in descriptions, accompanied by mango, sweetness and an earthy undertone; citrus is added in the flavor. A diesel note is also mentioned, with CH9 Female Seeds referring to fuel and fruit punch. In a 2020 smoke report on the SeedStockers version, the material smelled of sweet citrus fruits but tasted almost exclusively of diesel. Not all consumers picked up on the namesake aroma: individual reports describe pepper, pine and gasoline instead of fruit, or a chemical smell reminiscent of burnt rubber.
Strain descriptions name myrcene as the predominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. Another description places ocimene in second place, ahead of caryophyllene, beta-pinene and linalool.
Consumers report euphoria and an uplifted mood combined with relaxation. Individual reports mention creativity, talkativeness and a burst of energy without racing thoughts; others experienced the strain as more sedating, and SeedStockers describes the effect of its version as physically relaxing. The 2020 smoke report noted a numbness behind the eyes, a loosened jaw, diminished concentration and visual trailing effects, along with relaxation without drowsiness. Dry mouth and dry eyes are mentioned, with occasional reports of headache, dizziness, nervousness and paranoia.
Strain descriptions state a THC content of 16 to 26% for Pineapple. One description gives 0.64 to 0.68% CBD and 0.16 to 0.98% CBG, classifying the strain as THC-dominant.
One strain description sets a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks and places the outdoor harvest between late September and early October. It considers a warm to temperate climate suitable and the strain resistant to mold and mildew; another description gives a growth height of 60 to 80 cm. Assessments of the difficulty level diverge, with Pineapple considered easy to grow in one case and difficult in another.
SeedStockers describes a stable plant with hard, compact buds whose shape can resemble small pineapple fruits. The 2020 smoke report, by contrast, described the dried buds of this version as loose.
