Grape Fruit FV
Also known as: Grapefruit FV, Grapefruit Fly V, Grapefruit Flying V
Grape Fruit FV Strain Overview
Grape Fruit FV is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Flying Dutchmen, a Dutch seed company with a long history in cannabis breeding. The strain was created by crossing a Grapefruit phenotype with a landrace sativa from South Africa, resulting in a unique tropical sativa that gained popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Flying Dutchmen specifically bred this strain to preserve the distinctive grapefruit aroma while enhancing the energetic, cerebral effects characteristic of quality sativas.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant appearance, featuring medium to large buds with a dense structure and a coating of trichomes that gives it a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from light green to lime green, often with subtle orange pistils weaving through the buds. The most notable feature is its powerful citrus aroma, which strongly resembles fresh grapefruit with additional tropical fruit undertones. The flavor profile matches the aroma, delivering a sweet, tangy grapefruit taste with hints of tropical fruit on exhale.
Grape Fruit FV gained recognition in cannabis competitions during the early 2000s, particularly for its exceptional flavor and aroma profile. While not as widely available as some commercial strains today, it remains a sought-after variety among connoisseurs who appreciate classic sativa genetics and distinctive fruity profiles. The strain is known for its relatively long flowering time compared to modern hybrids, which contributes to its complex terpene development and potent effects.

Grape Fruit FV Strain Growing Information
Grape Fruit FV is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth characteristics. The flowering time is relatively long at 10-12 weeks, which is typical for sativa-dominant strains. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper training techniques, while outdoor plants can become quite large in suitable climates. The plant prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors.
Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers, as it allows better control over the plant's height, which can reach 150-200 cm if not managed. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to control height and increase yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but the plant benefits from additional potassium during flowering. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during late flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The strain has good resistance to common pests and diseases when grown in optimal conditions.
