Pineapple Upside Down Cake

from Modern Flower

The buds are a delicate grassland green, sparkled with luscious trichomes and long red calyxes.

Modern Flower’s rendition of the wonderfully delicious Pineapple Upside Down Cake is something to savor as we move into the fall season. A cross between the classic Pineapple Trainwreck and Cookie Monster, Pineapple Upside Down Cake encapsulates some of the best terpene batches of each genetic lineage. The magic of blending different genetics can vary greatly; sometimes it’s a hit, and other times, it’s extraordinary. In the case of Pineapple Upside Down Cake, it combines the fruity, sweet and smooth nature of the Pineapple Trainwreck with the cakey, doughiness of the Cookie Monster, expressed in the most harmonious way.

The buds are a delicate grassland green, sparkled with luscious trichomes and long red calyxes, truly representing one of the prettier flowers to come out of a dispensary bag. The flower’s beautiful quality is a testament to both the breeders and growers at Modern Flower. We always appreciate a meticulous team that takes the time to produce show-quality flower that tastes great and smokes well, and Modern Flower consistently hits this mark. Their Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a great example of the team’s precise craftsmanship and represents one of those fruitier hybrid highs that tends to sneak up on you.

Reading about this genetic, you might expect some typical sativa-like effects. Indeed, its fruity essence, packed with effervescent limonene notes, might also suggest an energizing appeal. However, a closer examination of the terpenes and a quick couple of tokes is enough to reveal the creeping couch-lock this tantalizing flower delivers. What starts as a limonene-rich, delicious toke finishes with a smooth, slow-creeping myrcene and caryophyllene high that brings in some sedation and fogginess — but in the best kind of way. For those of you with needs that lead you to the heavier side of the spectrum, Modern Flower’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake is definitely a cultivar to consider!
