Origins & Lineage
Developed by G13 Labs, Pineapple Express Auto is an autoflowering hybrid derived from classic cannabis genetics and ruderalis. Its lineage traces back to Pineapple Chunk, which itself is a cross involving Pineapple, Skunk #1, and Cheese strains.
The deliberate inclusion of ruderalis genetics is responsible for the plant's autoflowering capabilities, enabling it to flower independently of light cycles. This breeding effort aims to preserve the tropical character of the original Pineapple Express while ensuring rapid flowering and robust growth.
