Grape Cream Pie
Also known as: GCP
Grape Cream Pie Strain Overview
Grape Cream Pie is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Grape Pie with Cookies and Cream. The strain emerged from the California cannabis scene in the late 2010s, combining the dessert-like qualities of its parent strains into a unique aromatic profile. Breeders sought to create a strain with both appealing flavor characteristics and balanced effects suitable for various consumption times.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Grape Cream Pie is recognized for its complex terpene profile that creates a distinctive sensory experience.
Notable features include its dessert-like aroma that combines fruity and creamy notes, making it particularly appealing to users who prefer sweet-tasting cannabis varieties. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and appealing sensory characteristics. While not as widely cultivated as some mainstream strains, Grape Cream Pie has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile.

Grape Cream Pie Strain Growing Information
Grape Cream Pie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be managed to enhance coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Grape Cream Pie benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) to maximize yield potential.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase, as cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C) can intensify the purple coloration. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers report that the strain responds well to slightly increased phosphorus during flowering to enhance bud development.
