The Pineapple Express cultivar, according to actor and comedian Seth Rogen, didn’t exist before the 2008 film of the same name popularized the name. Growers took it upon themselves to produce a potent cultivar that was dubbed “the dopest dope” in the movie after being inspired by the movie. Using Trainwreck and Hawaiian as its parent genetics, G13 Labs claims to have created the strain in the middle of the 2000s. The hybrid quickly became popular among California’s medical marijuana dispensaries. However, the “true” Pineapple Express was the goal of 11 seed banks and numerous growers. As a result, the market today offers a variety of options. The majority of Pineapple Express cultivars are coveted cultivars known for their fluffy, lean flowers that shine with a lime and yellow coloring, despite the hazy marketing and variable reported effects. Because of the tropical, citrus aroma that emanates from its typically higher limonene content, customers choose Pineapple Express. Growing Pineapple Express indoors is simple, and between 55 and 65 days, growers can anticipate a high yield.

Due to its sweet aroma, gelato is a cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. Gelato (#33), also known as Larry Bird, was first grown in Northern California’s Bay Area and comes from a large genetic pool that was assembled by the Cookie Family, the Sherbinskis Family, and grower Mario Guzman. After its creation, the cultivators split up, and it is uncertain which cultivator has the most “stable version” of Gelato genetics. A few phenotypes and offspring of the strain Gelato #42, Dolce Gelato, and a sun-grown Gelato are grown by Cookies. Gelato #41 (Bacio Gelato), Gelato #43 (Gello Gelato), Gelato #47 (Mochi Gelato), and Gelato #49 (Acai Berry Gelato) are four stabilized Gelato phenotypes that Sherbinskis also cultivates. The #33 phenotype is no longer being grown, according to Sherbinskis. The strain is regarded as being difficult to grow, and each phenotype expresses various growth traits. It grows reasonably short plants with dark, magenta buds indoors that usually reach maturity 8 to 9 weeks after beginning the 12/12 flowering cycle. By mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere and mid-March in the Southern Hemisphere, outdoor growers can anticipate Gelato to be mature. Potential growers must locate certified Gelato clones from Cookies to propagate it because its seeds aren’t offered for sale. At the moment, Sherbinksis doesn’t offer seeds or clones of its Gelato phenotypes for sale.

Cotton Candy Kush and Space Queen were crossed to create Space Candy by renowned breeder Subcool. Space Candy, so named for both its ancestry and its bouquet, has a sweet, fruity, citrus flavor and a floral, fruity aroma. Space Candy spreads readily both inside and outside, but as its short, bushy branches fill with buds later in the flowering cycle, it needs physical support. With average yields, it grows to medium heights and blooms in about eight weeks. Buds are covered in a thick, resinous layer of trichomes and are dark green with hints of red and purple.

Golden Pineapple is a cross between Pineapple Kush (Pineapple x Master Kush) and Golden Goat, a male Hawaiian-Romulan pollinated with a Skunk mother; the identity of its original breeder is unknown. Golden Pineapple was given that name due to both its pineapple and citrus parentage and vibrant aroma. Golden Pineapple won Best Sativa at the 2017 Oregon Northwest Cannabis Cup thanks to its flavor and aroma. The short, bushy plants that the Golden Pineapple strain produces thrive both indoors and outdoors. This cultivar will reach full maturity when grown indoors within eight to nine weeks of starting the flowering photoperiod. Early October in the Northern Hemisphere is when outdoor growers in more temperate climates can enjoy the high yielding Golden Pineapple and benefit from its high mold and disease resistance.

Clementine is a sativa-dominant strain created by Crockett Family Farms, a family-run cannabis genetics business based on California’s Central Coast. It is a cross between Tangie and Lemon Skunk. In Michigan’s 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup, the breeder’s Clementine Live Resin took first place for being the best sativa concentrate. According to Crockett Family Farms, Clementine is said to have a sweet and citrusy aroma and THC levels that typically range between 20% and 25%. The cannabis testing facility Analytical 360 measured a variety of Clementines and discovered that the sample had THC levels of up to 27% and a terpene profile dominated by terpinolene, a terpene with a woodsy aroma and citrus and floral undertones, and caryophyllene, a terpene renowned for its herbal spiciness. This plant, which has a 55–65 day flowering cycle, is said to yield a lot of dark green colas with fiery stigmas and sweet trichomes. Clementines grow well in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Breeders at Crockett Family Farms, which is now a division of DNA Genetics, developed Hell’s Fire, also known as Hell Fire OG. The majority of sources concur that this strain is a cross between OG Kush and SFV OG Kush, though some claim it is also Crockett’s Confidential (LA Confidential x unidentified sativa) and Hell’s OG (OG Kush x Blackberry). It’s said to taste similar to, but sweeter than, lemon, fuel, and skunky pine because of all that Kush. Hell’s Fire grows short and broad, in line with its genetics, and is a balanced hybrid with either OG Kush and SFV OG Kush as parents or Crockett’s Confidential and Hell’s OG. Hell’s Fire grows best indoors, where it typically produces average to high yields and flowers in 56 to 70 days. Hell’s Fire seeds are offered.

According to rumors, Monster Cookies is a hybrid of GDP, also known as Grand Daddy Purple, and GSC, or Girl Scout Cookies. Monster Cookies, with its aroma and flavor frequently compared to a cross between sweet grapes and earthy skunk, is sought after for its allegedly deeply calming effects. The indica-leaning strain is said to produce compact, medium-sized buds that are covered in sticky white trichomes over the course of a 56–63 day flowering period. It is reported to grow short and stocky with plenty of vegetation. According to reports, Monster Cookies can be grown either indoors or outdoors. The buds’ forest-green color may take on purple or dark blue undertones if the plant is exposed to colder temperatures just before the flowering cycle. It’s crucial to keep in mind that Monster Cookies is a clone-only plant, making it challenging for most growers to locate a genuine cut. The cannabis testing facility Analytical 360 found that one Monster Cookies sample had a high concentration of the terpenes humulene, caryophyllene, and alpha-pinene. Other Monster Cookies cultivars are said to have THC levels that can go as high as 21%, whereas this particular sample only showed THC levels just above 12%.

Although some claim that the indica-dominant strain has OG Kush genetics, the origins of Frankenstein are unconfirmed. It is believed to have come from the Pacific Northwest. Skunk, pine, and citrus have been described as Frankenstein’s most prominent aromas. Furthermore, it is said to have a lemon, tropical fruit, and earth flavor. Unknown in its origins, Frankenstein is an indica-dominant strain. Frankenstein’s indica ancestry probably results in short, bushy plants. The only thing that is known about growing Frankenstein is that it thrives both inside and outside while producing meager yields. Frankenstein seeds are offered.

Sensi Star and Sour Diesel are the parents of the Death Star, an Indica-dominant hybrid. The strain was initially developed in Ohio by “Team Death-Star” in the early 2000s, and it has become well-known for its Sour Diesel flavor and compact growth pattern. After switching to a 12/12 light cycle, the strain produces short, stout plants with dense buds that take about 65 days to mature. It does well when grown hydroponically and in the Sea of Green (SOG) environment. Death Star, a strain that is only available as clones, took second place and the People’s Choice Award at the 2014 Denver High Times Cannabis Cup.

Kush Mints is a hybrid created by Seed Junky Genetics in Southern California using Bubba Kush pollen and the clone-only Animal Mints strain. A Kush Mints phenotype has been bred by the Seed Junky experts with a number of other hybrids, such as Wedding Cake and Animal Cookies. The name of this well-balanced hybrid strain comes from the claim that it has a potent mint flavor. Users claim that it also induces a state of calmness, relaxation, and occasionally sleep. There isn’t much information available about this strain, but Kush Mints is said to be a clone-only variety that can be grown indoors or outdoors and may yield very dense, crystal trichome-covered buds.
