Medical Applications

Pineapple Chunk is a sedating medical marijuana strain with relaxing and pain-relieving properties, which may help alleviate the symptoms of physical and mental health disorders.

Pain Relief

Medical cannabis harbors anti-inflammatory and analgesic elements, such as THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene, which contribute to alleviating or diverting various types of pain, including chronic pain and muscle pain.

Muscle Spasms

A blend of THC and CBD has shown efficacy in diminishing both the frequency and intensity of muscle spasms, along with addressing associated neuropathic pain.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

For individuals with Multiple Sclerosis, a combination of THC and CBD has demonstrated potential in reducing the occurrence and intensity of muscle spasms and related neuropathic pain.

Inflammation

The diverse array of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids present in cannabis, including THC and CBD, collectively contribute to combating stress and inflammation.

Appetite Stimulation

THC, a component of medical cannabis, has the capability to trigger the release of the hunger hormone ghrelin, making it a potential solution for addressing loss of appetite.

Dosing

Caution is advised, as Pineapple Chunk is moderately potent. Inexperienced users should start low and go slow, waiting at least 15 minutes between doses to avoid potential paranoia or anxiety.

Growing

Pineapple Chunk displays elongated, conical buds adorned with vibrant orange pistils and dark green leaves featuring rich purple undertones.

This strain is well-suited for novice cultivators due to its compact nature and resistance to mold, a potential threat to cannabis crops. Its short, robust stature requires some trimming to enhance light penetration and air circulation, although extensive training may not be necessary for manageable growth.

Being a more diminutive variety, Pineapple Chunk yields modestly, reaching up to 200 grams per square meter indoors. Advisably, topping Pineapple Chunk (removing the central stem) is recommended to promote branching and eventual bud production.

Height

Both indoor and outdoor, Pineapple Chunk is less than 30 inches tall.

Humidity and Temperature

Pineapple Chunk thrives outdoors with higher humidity. For indoor cultivation, maintain a relative humidity of 40%-60% during the vegetative phase, reducing it to 30%-40% in the flowering stage to mitigate mold risks. Maintain temperatures between 70-80°F (21-26°C). Given potential humidity fluctuations, consistent monitoring is vital.

Flowering

Pineapple Chunk takes approximately 45-50 days to flower (six to seven weeks). This makes it an ideal strain for beginners.
