Due to the high THC content and modest amount of CBD, Pineapple Chunk is a favorite of medical patients as it alleviates strong pain. While many strains that are potent enough to blunt pain also help with insomnia, Pineapple Chunk delivers a head high as well, possibly adding to paranoia and anxiety making it unsuitable for people with anxiety and depression in high doses.

The plant grows quickly and can flower in 60 days when indoors. The plant is stable, strong, and proliferates well under the right conditions; good for a first time grower. You can grow it indoors, outdoors, or in the greenhouse as it is extremely mold/disease resistant.

Pineapple Chunk was developed at Barney's Farm, which now sells the strain in an autoflowering variety - incorporating ruderalis into its lineage.
