Pineapple Haze: Tropical Delight
Pineapple Haze seeds grow into medium to tall plants with massive buds chock full of THC. From top to bottom, the leaves, stems, branches, and even buds are all the same pale green color. One of the reasons behind this is because of the trichomes that cover the entire plant. The resin makes the plant look paler than it really is. If Pineapple Haze didn’t have trichomes, the whole plant would appear bright green. Looking closely, you can barely make out the brown and amber pistils growing out of the bud sites. The harvested nuggets are dense but also leafy, meaning that they will crumble under a bit of pressure. This makes it easy to roll a joint or pack bowls. The finished nuggets are bright green as most of the trichomes have fallen off in the harvesting process. Pineapple Haze has been selected to represent at a few major award shows but hasn’t yet taken home a trophy. With its massive popularity, it seems like it is only a matter of time before Pineapple Haze graces the podium as a major Cannabis Cup winner.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Thriving both indoors and out, Pineapple Haze cannabis plants can be easily grown by cannabis growers with at least a medium amount of previous cultivation experience.
