From Seed to Smoke: Insights, Inspiration and Dank prose directly from the NASC team


The breeders over at Dirty Bird Genetics have been experimenting with autos as of late as they work to select cultivars for upcoming breeding projects. The team selected a number of strains, one being the Pineapple Express Auto by Fast Buds. I had the opportunity to smoke test the strain when first dry from the branch, and again now that it has cured up nicely. Much like the growers were happy with the performance, I sure was pleased with my results for R&D! 

I’ve found over the years that much like food and drink, the flavor profile of any given strain can prove unique to the individual; however, there have been strains over the years that have proven their flavor profile as ubiquitous across all smokers. I could easily name a handful of these strains, and have had fun over the years testing out our own harvests with my fellow smokers, seeing if there might be any that would live up to the same sort of hype. The Pineapple Express is one of those strains - known across the community as one true to its name. For this reason, among others, I just had to try it out! We were nothing less than satisfied, happy to confidently say the strain lived up to its reputation. 

If you haven’t had the opportunity to smoke the Pineapple Express Auto, I encourage you to do so; if for no reason other than the fact that I think it is one of those strains to live up to its name in flavor profile and effect. The taste is truly straight pineapples with an effect that hits you fast and boosts you into excited action - much like the tang of a pineapple excites the tastebuds, you’ll find yourself jazzed up for life and asking the farmer for seeds to grow the same yourself!

The Pineapple Express is definitely one of those strains that can be enjoyed over breakfast or as an after dinner dessert treat as you settle in for a stress free evening of socializing; a truly lovely sativa hybrid that brings zero anxiety or uppity feeling while encouraging socialization, excited conversation, and joyful focus on having fun with those around you or settling into your favorite solo pastime.

Pineapple Express Auto FastBuds

The overall experience of smoke testing the Pineapple Express earned the strain a spot on my 2025 grow list. I cannot wait to grow the strain and enjoy the fruits of my own labors! Nothing like the pride and joy that comes from growing your own!
