Grape D
Also known as: Grape D-Lite, Grape Diesel
Grape D Strain Overview
Grape D is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Grape Ape and Sour Diesel, resulting in a balanced cultivar with distinctive characteristics. The strain was developed to merge the relaxing indica properties of Grape Ape with the energetic cerebral effects of Sour Diesel, creating a versatile hybrid suitable for various times of day. While its exact origin remains somewhat unclear in cannabis breeding records, Grape D gained popularity in the early 2010s within the West Coast cannabis community, particularly in California and Oregon, where it became known for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects.
The physical appearance of Grape D plants typically features dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant green, accented by fiery orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The strain's name derives from its pronounced grape aroma, which is complemented by the diesel undertones inherited from its Sour Diesel parent. Growers note that the purple coloration becomes more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, though this characteristic can vary between phenotypes.
Grape D is recognized for producing well-rounded effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its complex terpene profile that delivers both fruity and fuel-like notes. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Grape D has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced genetic heritage and distinctive flavor characteristics. The strain represents a successful fusion of two iconic cannabis varieties, offering a middle-ground experience between pure indica and pure sativa effects.

Grape D Strain Growing Information
Grape D is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. 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 growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. Grape D prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, and growers should watch for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may display more vibrant purple hues when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
