The Pineapple Express strain is a sativa-leaning hybrid bred from Trainwreck and Hawaiian. Reviewers report pineapple and tropical fruit first, with citrus and an earthy pine note behind them, and growers describe dense, curly buds with amber hairs. We sell it as crumble, a dry concentrate, under our own BallerClub label.

Aroma and flavour
Pineapple and tropical are the two flavours reviewers report most, well ahead of citrus and sweet. The strain is described as bright citrus with pineapple and earthy pine. In lab data, myrcene comes first, then caryophyllene and pinene, the terpene behind pine scents.
Lineage
Hawaiian, one parent, is a sativa whose aroma is likened to tropical fruit. Trainwreck, the other, is known for a sweet lemon and spicy pine smell. Between them, the parents’ descriptions cover the tropical, citrus and pine notes reported for their cross. Listed offspring of Pineapple Express include Pineapple OG and Pineapple Trainwreck.
Other pineapple names on our shelves are not documented relatives. Golden Pineapple and Pineapple Diesel come from different crosses, and we found no lineage record for Pineapple Chemdawg, so none of them is linked here.
How we sell Pineapple Express
Our only Pineapple Express product is BallerClub Pineapple Express Hybrid Crumble: 1 g for $10, 7 g for $50, 14 g for $85 or 28 g for $170. Buying the 28 g jar brings the price to about $6.07 a gram, against $10 for a single gram.
Crumble is a close relative of budder with less moisture, and what is budder compares the two with shatter and sauce. Some people call our crumble budder, but it is firmer than a whipped budder and breaks into small pieces instead of scooping like a paste. A dab tool is the easiest way to load it into a rig, an e-rig or a concentrate vaporizer, and how to dab walks through the rig steps.
The listing says the flavour comes from the strain’s own terpenes and flavonoids, and puts sweet pineapple up front with citrus and a light diesel edge. The 20% in the table describes the flower; crumble is a concentrate and runs far higher, so take the THC from the jar’s label.
The 28 g jar is also one of the choices in the BallerClub Mix & Match Cannabis Extracts 4 x 1oz, next to the Peach Panther cured resin jars, and it sits in our Budder & Crumble section.
Indica, sativa and what to expect
Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
