Granddaddy Grape
Also known as: Granddaddy Grape Ape, GDG
Granddaddy Grape Strain Overview
Granddaddy Grape is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive grape flavor and potent relaxing effects. The strain is believed to have originated from a cross between Granddaddy Purple and an unknown grape-flavored strain, though some sources suggest it may involve Grape Ape genetics. First appearing in the early 2010s, Granddaddy Grape has become a favorite among indica enthusiasts seeking both flavor and therapeutic effects.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, grape-shaped buds that display a range of purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dark foliage. The purple coloration becomes more pronounced as temperatures drop during the flowering phase. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content. The aroma is distinctly grape-forward with sweet, fruity notes complemented by earthy undertones.
Granddaddy Grape is particularly valued for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral euphoria. The strain has become a staple in many dispensaries due to its consistent performance and appealing sensory profile. While not as historically significant as its parent Granddaddy Purple, Granddaddy Grape has carved out its own niche in the cannabis market as a flavorful, relaxing indica option.

Granddaddy Grape Strain Growing Information
Granddaddy Grape is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it better suited for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October.
