Black Grape Pie Strain Overview
Black Grape Pie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent strains. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a flavorful, potent variety with balanced effects. Its exact origin remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, but it gained popularity through West Coast dispensaries and has since spread to legal markets across North America.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance featuring dense, grape-shaped buds that display deep purple and violet hues, often with contrasting orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes particularly pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Black Grape Pie typically produces medium to tall plants with a branching structure that requires some training for optimal light exposure.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, earthy, and sweet notes, making it popular among connoisseurs seeking flavorful experiences. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions for its unique terpene expression and visual appeal. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream varieties, Black Grape Pie maintains a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive characteristics.

Black Grape Pie Strain Growing Information
Black Grape Pie is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs in late September to early October. Plants can reach heights of 4-6 feet outdoors and 3-4 feet indoors with proper training.
Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-24 ounces per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers to control environmental factors.
Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 65°F/18°C) during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration. The plants benefit from low-stress training (LST) or screen of green (SCROG) techniques to maximize light penetration and bud development. Regular pruning of lower foliage is recommended to improve air circulation and direct energy to top colas.
