Golden Pineapple
Golden Pineapple
Also known as: GP, Golden Pineapple Strain
Overview
Golden Pineapple is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Golden Goat and Pineapple Kush, originally developed as a perfectly balanced 50/50 hybrid, though recent growers have begun shaping it into a slightly sativa-dominant strain for added cerebral effects. This strain was a winner at the 3rd Northwest Cannabis Cup, gaining recognition for its exceptional quality and balanced effects.
The strain has gained considerable acclaim for its sativa-leaning effects, vibrant flavor profile, and energizing high, making it ideal for daytime use, offering a creative boost without the heaviness of some indica strains and perfect for productive days when you need sustained energy and mental clarity. Unlike some strains that leave you scattered, Golden Pineapple keeps your mind sharp and focused, while its effects are predominantly cerebral, Golden Pineapple also provides a gentle body buzz that relaxes without sedation.
The buds are dense and sticky with resin, mostly green with a smattering of orange hairs, compact, dense, and covered in a shimmering layer of trichomes, with shades of deep green and amber-orange hairs. The strain has a remarkably distinctive aromatic profile, tasting like pineapple with tropical and fruity flavors that are also a little sour and have hints of diesel fuel and pine.

Growing Information
Golden Pineapple is a relatively easy strain to grow, falling into the realm of moderate difficulty, making it accessible to growers with some experience. The flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest ready in early to mid-October. Indoor yields average around 350-400 grams per square meter (13 ounces), while outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams (11 ounces) per plant. The plants produce short, bushy structures that grow well indoors or outdoors. Golden Pineapple thrives in warm, sunny conditions with low humidity and is suitable for indoor setups with controlled environments. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) are recommended to promote bud production and increase yields.
