| Very Hot | Hot | Moderate | Cold | Very Cold |
Humidity
Pineapple Express prefers higher humidity levels of around 60-70% during the vegetative stage. Gradually reduce humidity to around 40-50% as the plants transition into the flowering stage to help prevent mold and bud rot. Ensure proper ventilation to maintain optimal airflow and prevent excessive moisture buildup.
How To Grow Pineapple Express Seeds Confidently
With the right growing medium, you should focus on watering, and nutrients for the best results. These factors create the best environment for healthy plants and good yields.
Watering
Pineapple Express needs careful watering. To ensure plants have adequate water, keep the soil slightly moist during the seedling stage. Once the plants grow, allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. Always use clean water, and watch the humidity as it impacts the evaporation rate in the grow room.
Nutrients
This strain needs a balanced nutrient mix that matches its growing stages. In the vegetative stage, use nutrients high in nitrogen for leafy growth. This regimen switches to phosphorus-rich nutrients during flowering to boost bud production.
So how often do you need to enrich your growing medium? A general guideline is to follow a feeding schedule of every two weeks, adjusting based on the plant’s response. Regularly check the pH of the soil or nutrient solution, aiming for a range of 6.0 to 6.5 to ensure proper nutrient uptake.
Pro Grow Tip : Crop these plants because they grow into well rounded plants. Make sure to use support for the branches as Pineapple Express produces heavy buds.
History and Lineage
The Pineapple Express’s story is a bit hazy. However, it is a known cross between Trainwreck and Hawaiian. The strain has been gracing seasoned enthusiasts sessions for sometime now. However, it shot to fame around 2008 after the release of its namesake movie featuring stars like Seth Rogen, Amber Heard and Gary Cole. Despite its uncertain beginnings, Pineapple Express has secured its place as a beloved and sought-after strain in the cannabis community.
