How to grow Auto Pineapple Express
Taste
Seb's take
Trainwreck and Hawaiian genetics behind G13 Labs' best-selling auto, vigorous enough to perform well even in small spaces. Pineapple, mango and tropical citrus on the nose; the high is happy, giggly and creative, talkative rather than reclusive, with a long-lasting finish true to the name's promise.
Where it comes from
Two well-travelled parents sit behind this one, Trainwreck and Hawaiian genetics, steadied with Ruderalis to autoflower the line for G13 Labs. The record calls it their best-selling auto, and its vigour explains the popularity: a robust plant that performs even in cramped quarters. The Hawaiian side accounts for the tropical character; the Trainwreck side for the energy. A named nod to a certain film, though the genetics are the older and more interesting story.
Nose & flavour
Pineapple leads, as one would hope, with mango and tropical citrus close behind and a sweet, tree-fruit roundness beneath. The record also notes lemon, wood and spice as she flowers, a fuller bouquet than the name alone suggests. A bright, holiday sort of nose, layered enough to reward attention. Loud, ripe and persuasive throughout.
The high
Happy and giggly, energetic and talkative, this is sociable company rather than solitary sedation, the kind that keeps a conversation going and a creative streak engaged. The record notes a long-lasting, relaxing and pleasant finish underneath the lift. At 18% THC it is lively without being overwhelming. Daytime, then, and good with an audience.
Growing it
Flowering stays brief at 65 to 70 days, and the plant performs notably well in small spaces, the record recommending a third part coconut fibre added to improve soil ventilation. Yields are given as a wide 25 to 100 g/m², so the return depends heavily on the conditions you provide. No height figure is listed, so I will not guess at one, though the vigour suggests a plant that rewards a little training. Modest CBD at 0.4%. A forgiving, enthusiastic grower for a compact tent.
