About These Strains

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).

It also isn't terribly impressive with its low CBD content, less than 1%.

Pineapple Skunk

Pineapple Skunk is an indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain created as a three-way cross of the delicious Pineapple X Skunk #1 X Cheese strains. This bud is infamous among medical patients for its flawless fusion of powerful pungent and sugary fruity flavors, with a cheesy pungent skunky taste that has a light and airy sweet fruity aftertaste.

The aroma is very much the same, with a sweet fruity bouquet that quickly becomes pungent skunk as the nugs are broken apart.
