Some strains put a spring in your step and help you start the day on the right foot; others will lull you into relaxation once the chaos of daily life comes to a close. Grape Ape falls firmly into the latter. It only takes a couple of hits to feel your worries evaporate and for sensations of tranquillity and stillness to take hold. Tastes of fruit and skunk are a big bonus!
Grape Ape Seeds: Tranquility Is Only a Few Puffs Away
If you’re looking for solid rest and recovery, fire up this indica-dominant powerhouse to relax every muscle in your body. Our Grape Ape strain packs a stoning punch that’ll get you in the mood to drop everything and simply melt into the moment.
Grape Ape: The Offspring of Afghani, Mendocino Purps, & Skunk #1
Now and then, cannabis breeders get particularly ambitious, much like our team did when dreaming up Grape Ape. After some herbal inspiration, they conducted a three-way project using legendary genetics from Afghani, Mendocino Purps, and Skunk #1. After some tinkering, they managed to stabilise indica-dominant Grape Ape seeds. With a 90% indica genetic profile, contrasting aromas of candy and skunk, and a brief flowering time, she certainly offers something unique.
Grape Ape Seeds: Effects & Flavours
The Grape Ape weed strain offers a deeply relaxing, soothing, and stoning high. A far cry from energising and cerebral cultivars, this variety exerts the polar opposite effect. Within minutes of smoking her buds, which contain a THC content of 20%, you’ll feel your eyelids become heavy; the tension fall off your shoulders, and your appetite surge. Every time you take a hit, you’ll enjoy potent notes of blueberry, earthiness, candy, and skunk.

Strain FAQ
What terpenes are common in cannabis strains with berry flavours?
Berry-flavored strains contain myrcene, which has musky, earthy notes that lean towards sweet fruitiness; pinene, which brings crisp, piney freshness; caryophyllene, which adds spicy, peppery depth; limonene, which adds citrusy, tangy sweetness; linalool, which adds soft, floral sweetness; and humulene, which adds hop-like earthiness. The strain's complex berry profile results from these.
Are shorter cannabis strains more resilient?
Short strains are frequently stronger because of their indica genetics and the harsh environments they evolved in. They endure temperature changes and pests better, making them less laborious.
Do fast-flowering strains lose potency or flavour?
Despite their short flowering period, these strains have rich, complex terpene profiles with a wide range of flavours and fragrances. This reportedly ensures speedy turnaround without sacrificing quality or experience.
Are strains which finish at the End of September more sustainable?
Absolutely. These strains are said to need less water and nutrients since they finish faster. Their low light and heat requirements reportedly make them a greener outdoor production option.
How have indica strains adapted to the cold environmental conditions?
The tight, compact buds of indica strains are more than just attractive—they protect against the cold. This compact bud structure keeps cold, damp air out, preventing mould and keeping plants healthy in cold weather.
