Pineapple Express is yet another Hawaiian strain shrouded in mystery and myth, her unknown origins thought to remain a secret lost at the beach in the sands of time...
Mahalo (Thanks) to evolving laws and attitudes around the globe breeders who once remained safely in the shadows can now step out into the light in order to shed some light on the histories of the most legendary strains of all time!
Pineapple Express was created by a old school Hawaiian breeder from Hawi in the Kohala district on da Big Island of Hawai'i.
Anyone familiar with Hawaiian Pakalolo knows the most unique and wondrous tropical terpenes are excreted in abundance, one of the reasons you will find a Hawaiian ancestor in the genetic lineage of many of the most popular strains on Earth.
Kona Gold, a champion Hawaiian sativa strain from Kailua-Kona west side Big Island, has a sweet Hawaiian honey scent cut with pineapple and a hint of sour lemon.
When Trainwreck arrived on Big Island in bud form a few seeds were found in a pound and grown up north shore Big Island in Hawi.
Trainwrecks 1st season being cultivated on Big Island was a little rough as many non-Hawaiian strains can take a few seasons to acclimate to our tropical climate.
Trainwreck faired mo betta than many strains perhaps due to her Mexican x Afghan x Thai heritage and our Big Island 'Ohana (Family) decided to keep her around -- they also decided to pollinate a branch with some Kona Gold pollen to see what would happen...
What happened is an incredible chapter in the hashy hazy history of our favorite medicinal burning bush!!
Pineapple Express circled the globe via the jet stream in returning visitors luggage and made her way to Hollywood where her cousin Maui Wowie chills to star in her own major motion picture!!!
Pua Mana 'Ohana can now share these legendary genetics and origin story with you and your 'Ohana (Family) Mahalo (Thanks) to a holiday gathering on the island of O'ahu and a gift of a Pineapple Express poster from our 'Ohana (Family) at Leafly who sparked a epic conversation as we were sparking epic doobies that led to our Big Island 'Ohana (Family) making a call to his Uncle up in Hawi who still had the original strain, though Uncle now calls it Hawaiian Shipwrek as he was not a big fan of the movie and did not feel like arguing about the ancestry of a strain he created with everyone who had heard a different heritage.
Pineapple Express, Hawaiian Shipwreck or any name you want to give to this amazing strain is fine with us just pass that stuff so we can all have another puff...
