Grape Cherry Bomb
Also known as: Grape Cherry Bomb OG, Cherry Grape Bomb
Grape Cherry Bomb Strain Overview
Grape Cherry Bomb is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular cultivars: Grape Ape and Cherry Bomb. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California-based breeders seeking to combine the relaxing indica qualities of Grape Ape with the uplifting sativa characteristics of Cherry Bomb. This intentional breeding resulted in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, particularly in North America.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers typically display deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils, often covered in a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The purple coloration becomes more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a trait inherited from its Grape Ape parent. The name 'Grape Cherry Bomb' references both its genetic lineage and its prominent aromatic profile.
Grape Cherry Bomb is noted for its complex flavor and aroma profile that combines fruity, sweet, and earthy notes. The strain's effects are typically described as well-balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into physical relaxation. Cultivation information suggests it's a moderately difficult strain to grow, requiring attention to environmental conditions to maximize its unique color expression and terpene development.

Grape Cherry Bomb Strain Growing Information
Grape Cherry Bomb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically 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 ideal conditions. The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F) and humidity levels (40-50% during flowering), as the strain can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering (55-65°F) can enhance the purple coloration in the buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding noted by some growers.
