Quick Answer: Pineapple Chunk gets its name from its fruity parent strain, Pineapple, and its dense, resinous buds inherited from Skunk #1 and Cheese. The result is a sweet, chunky hybrid with tropical flavor and strong effects—true to both its name and its bold genetic roots.
Pineapple Chunk: Fruity, Funky and Fun
With a name like Pineapple Chunk, you might expect a fruit salad—or maybe a tropical dessert.
But in the world of cannabis, Pineapple Chunk is a strain that’s just as flavorful and funky as its name suggests.
So where did this sweet and savory moniker come from?

A Flavorful Foundation
The “Pineapple” part of Pineapple Chunk comes from one of its parent strains: Pineapple, a tropical-tasting hybrid known for its juicy aroma and balanced effects.
The Pineapple strain itself likely comes from phenotypes of Pineapple Express or Pineapple Skunk—cultivars known for citrusy terpenes and uplifting highs.
In other words: the name isn’t just branding. The fruity notes are real.

Chunky Heritage
Then there’s the “Chunk.” That part of the name is a nod to Skunk #1 and Cheese, two other strains in Pineapple Chunk’s family tree.
These old-school cultivars are famous for their dense bud structure, pungent aroma, and heavy-handed effects—hence the “chunky” reputation.
Growers and consumers alike use “chunk” to describe strains that produce thick, resin-coated nugs with serious weight.
Pineapple Chunk lives up to the hype.

A Strain Worth Remembering
Pineapple Chunk was originally developed by breeders at Barney’s Farm, who crossed Pineapple with Cheese and Skunk #1 to create something flavorful, potent, and sturdy enough to grow in varied conditions.
The result was a strain with tropical top notes, funky undertones, and a body high that leans toward the relaxing side of hybrid.
Its name captures everything you’d want to know before taking a hit: it’s fruity, it’s dense, and it’ll probably leave a lasting impression.
