Pineapple Thai
Pineapple Thai
Also known as: Thai Pineapple
Overview
Pineapple Thai is a rare pure sativa cannabis strain that showcases the genetic heritage of traditional Thai landrace varieties. Originally cultivated in Thailand's tropical climate, this exotic strain has been preserved through selective breeding to maintain its unique terpene profile and energizing effects. The strain gained prominence when American soldiers stationed in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War discovered its powerful properties and brought knowledge of it back to the West.
Pineapple Thai is distinguished by its elongated, somewhat stick-like flowers characteristic of authentic Thai genetics. The buds display a vivid spring green color with bright red-orange pistils and are densely covered in amber-colored trichomes that give them a subtle yellow glow and extremely sticky texture. The plant structure is typical of sativa varieties, with relatively loose, piecemeal buds and leaves that cling loosely to their central stems. Plants can reach impressive heights of up to 15 feet outdoors, making them true giants in the cannabis world.

Growing Information
Pineapple Thai is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks, while outdoor plants typically finish by mid-October. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it particularly thrives in outdoor environments due to its hardy landrace genetics. Plants prefer a semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climate and can reach heights of nearly 15 feet outdoors. Indoor growers must employ training techniques like topping or supercropping early in the vegetative stage to manage height in limited spaces. The strain requires attention to detail and patience, with some phenotypes exceeding 10 weeks of flowering time. Yield expectations are moderate, typically producing 2-3 ounces per plant. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases thanks to its landrace heritage.
