Grape Ape Cookies
Also known as: Grape Cookies, Grape Ape Cookies Hybrid
Grape Ape Cookies Strain Overview
Grape Ape Cookies is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines two popular genetics: Grape Ape and Girl Scout Cookies. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that would inherit the distinctive grape flavor of Grape Ape while incorporating the potent effects and complex terpene profile of Girl Scout Cookies. The exact origin remains somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it gained popularity through California dispensaries before spreading to other legal markets.
The strain exhibits dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica-dominant Grape Ape parent. The flowers are typically medium to large in size, displaying deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin pigments become more prominent. The buds are often described as visually striking, with a resinous texture that makes them slightly sticky to the touch.
Grape Ape Cookies is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, herbal undertones. The name accurately reflects its dominant grape-like scent, complemented by subtle cookie-like sweetness and hints of spice. The flavor profile carries through to consumption, with many users reporting a smooth smoke that leaves a pleasant aftertaste. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive sensory characteristics.

Grape Ape Cookies Strain Growing Information
Grape Ape Cookies is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be managed to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and can exhibit stunning purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
