Nice strain. definitely a head buzz...hasn't done much for the stomach. things are silly on this strain. the buds themselves are tight, dark green with orange and some yellow mixed in
So far one of my favorite strains, and personally I prefer it in the form of vaping.
I'm reviewing a Fernway Pineland Diesel cart, which, in a blog post on the company website, is described as a Sour Diesel x Pineapple cross--this seems accurate to me, based on other folks' reviews of Pineapple Diesel.
I've always been a huge Sour Diesel fan (back in the black market days, this was the first strain that I made sure to double-check with my friend I smoked with to note the strain--I loved it so much, I wanted to be able to come back to it time and again), so anything with SD in its lineage, I'm interested. This cross does not disappoint.
Smell & taste--a cart doesn't usually offer much in terms of smell, but I've noticed Fernway carts have a lovely scent as soon as you remove the little rubber mouth cap. This one smells like lovely earthy pine. But, I was a bit disappointed in the taste--much more woody-diesel flavor, especially on the exhale. Not a problem, necessarily, but I was expecting a whole heap o' pine flavor, which I didn't taste.
Effects--The high is wonderful. I was worried about hitting it before bed because of its reported "energetic" effect, but it wasn't a problem. The most prominent effect initially is that nice headband-y pressure behind the eyes and around the forehead (nice classic sativa effect); very comfy cozy though. Any anxiety and stress of the day quickly melted away. I soon felt my whole body start to release all its muscle tension of the day and relax into a very pleasant, but relatively mild, body high that helped ease (if not totally eliminate) a bit of nerve pain (for me, the perfect amount of body high, as I don't usually go looking to get completely couch-locked, but it's nice to feel your body get all loose and settled at the end of the day). I enjoyed a nice documentary about the James Webb telescope on Netflix for a while, the Sour Diesel lineage making its presence felt as I was able to focus on all the little details of the process of building and launching the telescope, not to mention the (literally) far out images the telescope produces. Eventually, I started to fall asleep, but when I opened my eyes again at one point, I was loving the mild but fun visual effects--not "visuals" per se, as I've experienced with a couple of other strains (e.g. Master Kush, that provided straight up psychedelic visuals for me, like nothing I've experienced with any other weed)--it was like I could see all the molecules in everything around me vibrating or pulsing slightly (I absolutely LOVE when this happens, but it could be a bit disconcerting for newbies if you're not expecting it). It was pretty mellow and short-lived but I really enjoyed it while it lasted. I ended up falling asleep soon after that, so can't speak to the comedown if there is one, but SD never gave me any problems on that front in the past, so I suspect it wouldn't be an issue with this strain, either.
Overall, a really solid high that I can see being quite versatile--could be great during the day, but wasn't a problem at night before bed. It also has renewed my love of Sour Diesel-based strains, as the last couple of times I tried anything SD-related (Sour Diesel purchased at a rec dispensary in CA, and Headband purchased at a rec dispensary in MA), it didn't feel potent enough for my liking. This one, on the other hand, does justice to its SD lineage but also introduces a bit more in terms of body effects, seemingly thanks to its Pineapple parent. Would definitely recommend it to anyone for use at any time of day or night.
Pineapple Diesel is a good choice if you are a fan of any of the other Diesel strains! It will make you feel feel high-spirited and creative. This is also a good strain for social interactions, for Pineapple Diesel reduces stress and increases social motivation. This strain has a stimulant-like effect for those with ADD/ADHD.
I'm currently smoking this flower with my girlfriend, just after one hit I
feel the Sativa uplifting me. I highly recommend, great tasting. & a even better high.

one of my favorites
Absolutely over the moon about this strain. I’ve never had a strain described as “uplifting and happy” be so spot on. I got my Pineapple Diesel in the form of an airopro cartridge by ascend. I can see this being a favorite strain for quite a while.
