Grape Drank
Also known as: Grape Drink, Purple Drank
What is the Grape Drank strain?
Grape Drank is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Grape Drank is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, gaining popularity through the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing the classic Granddaddy Purple with an undisclosed Grape Ape phenotype, resulting in a potent purple-hued variety that combines the best traits of its parentage. Breeders specifically selected for its distinctive grape flavor profile and deep relaxation effects, making it a sought-after strain for evening use and relaxation purposes.
The strain is visually striking, featuring dense, chunky buds that display a range of purple, violet, and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of frosty trichomes covers the flowers, giving them a sugary appearance that hints at their potency. The purple coloration becomes more pronounced as temperatures drop during the flowering phase, with cooler nighttime temperatures encouraging deeper anthocyanin expression. The buds emit a complex aroma that combines sweet grape candy notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of berries.
Grape Drank has become particularly notable for its balanced effects that provide both physical relaxation and mental calm without excessive sedation in moderate doses. The strain's popularity has led to its inclusion in various breeding projects, though the original genetics remain somewhat proprietary. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Grape Drank maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive flavor and reliable effects.

How do you grow Grape Drank?
Grape Drank is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during the flowering phase to encourage purple coloration, with nighttime temperatures around 15-18°C (59-64°F) being ideal. The plants benefit from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. Grape Drank is somewhat susceptible to mold and mildew in humid conditions, so proper ventilation and humidity control are essential, particularly during the final weeks of flowering.
