Grape Ape Stomper
Also known as: Grape Stomper, Grape Ape OG Stomper
Grape Ape Stomper Strain Overview
Grape Ape Stomper is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between Grape Ape and Grape Stomper (also known as Gage Green's 'Grape Stomper' or 'Sour Grapes'). This strain combines the indica-dominant characteristics of Grape Ape with the sativa-leaning genetics of Grape Stomper, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain emerged in the late 2000s to early 2010s as breeders sought to enhance the grape flavor characteristics while maintaining the cerebral effects of the Grape Stomper parentage.
Visually, Grape Ape Stomper typically displays dense, resinous buds with a distinctive coloration that ranges from deep purple to violet hues, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. The purple pigmentation is most pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant aroma and flavor profile, which prominently features grape and berry notes.
Grape Ape Stomper is noted for its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other grape-flavored varieties, typically finishing in 8-9 weeks indoors. The strain has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, though it is less widely available than some mainstream commercial varieties. Its balanced genetic heritage makes it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications, though like all cannabis strains, individual experiences may vary based on cultivation methods, phenotype expression, and user biochemistry.

Grape Ape Stomper Strain Growing Information
Grape Ape Stomper is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. Indoor flowering time typically ranges from 8-9 weeks, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors when given adequate space. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature to enhance purple coloration. Grape Ape Stomper prefers a stable climate with consistent temperatures and benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and yield. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering phase when dense buds can be susceptible to botrytis in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are typical for cannabis hybrids, though some phenotypes may show sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
