About These Strains

Pineapple Express

Hybrid 40/60 — THC 23–27% — CBD 0–1%

Pineapple Express is a Sativa dominant strain with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. The strain is quite popular and has achieved recognition thanks to the stoner film of the same name.

However, you have to keep in mind that the strain is not as intense as the movie has made it out to be.

Pineapple Jack

Sativa 50/50 — THC 20–23% — CBD 0–1%

A blend of indica-heavy Pineapple and Jack Herer, a famed balance of sativa and indica, Pineapple Jack itself is a sativa-dominant hybrid with an unknown ratio of sativa to indica. This definitely isn't the most potent strain on the market, with THC levels well below 20% (about 16% in some tests).
